92,000. That is the number of hours the average person spends at work during a lifetime. And our constant connectivity to our work means that number is growing. That is an enormous slice of life to spend in offices and job sites, away from friends and family. That is an enormous number of hours to sell and never get back. But what if those 92,000 hours were full of meaning, passion and purpose? What if we stop talking about work/life balance and start thinking about all of it as…life? How do we construct a working world that values and accommodates our humanity? How do we construct a life that is not separate from, but fueled by, the purpose we find in our work? In this podcast, we will explore those questions, and more. We will talk about life lessons and what happens when we bring our whole selves to our work, school, or community. Will we grow as individuals? As organizations? Together, we hope to explore our interest in cultivating meaning and purpose, and making sure those 92,000 hours are spent well, rather than simply spent.

We’ve done a lot of work – and accomplished a lot of growth – together on this season of 92,000 Hours.
We learned what we value. We learned how to prioritize. We learned how to have the courage to walk a different path.
In this week’s episode, we call on you to say yes to the thoughts and behaviors that serve you in your life – and to leave behind what isn’t working for you.
What do you say yes to in 2024? We’d love to hear from you!

“I believe human connection is the most powerful engine in the universe.”
In the 1950’s, Edward Murrow asked listeners to reflect on and share their personal philosophies. It became a popular NPR series encouraging listeners to reflect on the core values that guide their lives. On this episode of 92,000 Hours, we begin winding down our season of workshops by asking our listeners to do the same.
When you reflect on your life, what were the major lessons you learned during the seminal moments and turning points? How do those beliefs shape the way you show up and interact with the world?
In this episode, Connection Collaborative Founder Annalisa Holcombe will share her core beliefs and the stories that inspired them. She’ll share the transformative power of vulnerability, how authenticity changed her life, and why human connection is the driving force of the universe.

At some point, we’ll all dream of doing something unexpected. It could be moving to a different city, choosing a different job, marrying someone that surprises your family, or choosing to get a divorce. But only some of us actually take the leap to do it.
And in our experience, the greatest rewards are right on the other side of the path-less-traveled.
In this episode of 92,000 Hours, we’ll break down the barriers that keep us from achieving some of our loftiest goals. Together, we’ll redefine success and uncover the people who support our journey to finding it – no matter which path we take.

We took some time off to tend to our grief.
But now, 92,000 Hours is back and we are ready to forge a new working world with you.
We’re not here to tell you to lean into joy. We’re here to tell you to bring your full self to the table: the boardroom table, the dining table, any table where you find yourself. Bring your joy, bring your pain, bring your grief, bring your uncertainty –
And in this special episode, we're doing exactly that.
We explain why we had to pause, reflecting on the effect that grief can have on us. We take a hard look on the lack of adequate professional support we're given for our grief. We dive deep into the different ways we can grieve, while providing concrete and practical tools for you to utilize in your grieving process.

Welcome to season 4 of 92,000 Hours! This season, we’re focusing on putting everything we have learned from past episodes into practice in our own lives. Each week, we will dive into specific topics and ask you to reflect and take action. Get out your notebooks, because this season requires a lot of self reflection!
This week's topic is fear. In this episode, we talk about things we are afraid of, mostly focusing on our professional lives, although the lessons we learn can be applied to any aspect of life. We do an exercise together to name our fears, identify the consequences of not dealing with the fear, and steps to conquer them. We also talk about how our mindsets affect us and work through another exercise to identify our mental models.

Each week, we will dive into specific topics and ask you to reflect and take action. Get out your notebooks, because this season requires a lot of self reflection!
This week's topic is identity. We all have identities that are given to us, identities we choose, and core identities. In this episode we do an exercise together to take a closer look at all three types of identities. We also discuss how defining others by their identities can sometimes be affirming, yet at other times it could be detrimental to our relationships.
