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.

Welcome to Season 3 of the 92,000 Hours Podcast! To kick off the season, we speak to Lee Payne about priorities.
What are priorities really? And how do our values inform them? We discuss priorities in our home, work, and society. Lee answers questions like: How do we put our priorities into practice? Who can we trust to hold us accountable when we don't practice them? And how do we gracefully say no to things that don't align with our priorities?
Lee Payne is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Enlinx, a husband, dad, and committed community member.

- Things change but the most important things will always remain.

- Work is better when you do it with people you care about.

Welcome to another special episode of 92,000 Hours! We are joined by several of our past interviewees from both Season 1 & 2. While we thought this would be a discussion about lessons learned, it turned into a real master class on self awareness.
In this conversation, past 92,000 Hours guests discuss what they learned from being on a podcast, if they would change anything they said, what they took away from each other's episodes, and if they shared their podcast episode with family or colleagues and how that went.
Guests include: Collin Bunker, Jim Carter, Liz Tinkham, Mike Bills, Shamby Polychronis, and Wendy Anderton.

This week we speak to Brody Leven about authenticity.
Brody has created a career out of his passions: skiing, hiking, fitness, and storytelling. He tells us how he got to where he is, the difficulties of having a career without professional and personal division, and how to stay unapologetically true to yourself and your interests in everything you do.

He moved to Utah for college, where he studied economics. After graduation, he found a way to turn his passion for the mountains into a career.
