Is It Wrong To Pursue Money Over Passion? | The Daily Ketchup Podcast

[@jennyyong1170]

This is genuinely one of my fav podcasts. Never missed an episode. Keep it up yall!!!

[@aiklynnng]

I think it's all about timing. Human goes through different phases in life and it's not as straight forward as a choice between money and passion. There are life responsibilities, financial obligations, state of the economy, and mental state that may change what's best for you at different points of your life. Just remember that we all have different journeys and interpretations of what adds value to our life (eg wealth/fame/purpose). You have to be mindful to not be succumbed to peer pressure or what you see on social media. Do what brings joy to your life.

Love whatever John said at 19:45 Do what you love but don't make your job your identity because it is true, you can lose your job in an instant due to changes around us. If our work defines us then it is difficult to pick yourself up when you are knocked down.

Denise is so young?!?!?! Impressive mentality

[@bellel8853]

wah this is like a therapy group

[@HUProductionist]

My favourite thing on KZbin now legit 🙌🏽

[@zYMz]

Wah. John is damn good at explaining how to detach from a job. Will love to hear more of those wisdom!!

[@EvanandElla]

Such a real channel. John seems very open minded. A boss that don’t sugar coat.

[@YYeatsoftrice]

There is no right or wrong! What matters is how informed your decisions are and make the least regretful choice at the moment. Once you walk the path you choose and when looking back at your decision, then only will it feel "wrong". The future is always unknown (probably?) :D

[@skaterat321]

18:50 really speaks to me. Especially when in this day and age the number of creative graduates is high. Competition eventually becomes very frequent as you get older. I thought a lot about this since Circuit Breaker and I'm trying to make a career change at 29 years old. It's good you mentioned this because a creative career is heavily fueled by passion. But passion can only burn for so long. Very important for creatives to assess themselves and make the necessary change if needed.

[@Jejdjejbfjf]

When John mentioned about not hiring 40+ year olds, because he assumed that they would be harder to manage, etc, it honestly made me quite sad. We will all become middle-aged one day and is this how we want to be viewed as? There might be some truth to it but I hope employers still try to give them a chance by understanding them more in the interview.

[@tazzmania6292]

passion cannot eat, but if your passion can sustain you and its what you enjoy vs joy of money, go for it!

[@rayzhon]

I am binge listening to your content while writing my thesis. Really relatable discussions and useful content for people transitioning into different phases in life (dating, marriage, divorce, cheating, work, etc). Thank you for the great content and looking forward to more.

[@Gl3nnLim]

John seems like a good boss

[@rongci12]

Good job!!! This is my favourite episode so far and I have been through these struggles and dilemmas, going from a high paying MNC to my family business.

[@celinechee5872]

Really love this podcast! The discussions are insightful and very relatable - I always gain new perspectives and get a good laugh watching these :-)

[@haikelnerd]

Thanks for this episode, I don’t want to be overly dramatic but this is actually quite inspirational and life changing to me.

[@kankikan8584]

i like how the table perfectly splits where the cupboard at the back splits too

[@ShawnKoh]

"Would you give up your passion for money...THIS IS YOUR MOTHER SPEAKING!" haha

[@markshippo]

This is a very good topic for the young with youth on their side. How about an episode on 50 year olds who are laid of and unable to be gainfully employed becos they are disadvantaged? With reference to the creative director example that was mentioned.

[@Splashhhh]

Make it an hour please hahah

[@AsazukiSatoka]

What is the 6-game thingy called? Wanna read more about it. Thanks for another great discussion!

[@coach.jaytee]

Just chanced upon this podcast - I have an interesting perspective about this matter, wonder if you guys invite viewers as guests on the show? I like having these kind of conversations 😁

[@richmondyeo]

voices of singaporeans and true working society. great podcast

[@Fujiwara.Takumi1]

Honestly, this question can be asked the same like, is it wrong to give up your dignity for money. I'm not going to target any group but that's a hot topic for debate.

[@SuyinOng]

So good! Enjoyable and insightful

[@bunnywen]

"Mickey mouse made you realize you like animals ah?" 🤣 JP is funny!

[@Confidego]

Love the work you guys are pushing out!

[@Rachyyyyy]

Look forward to every upload! Super insightful

[@Beard321]

hey ! i really love the 6 types of games of life , want to find out more especially the mention of like one goes through 4 types of the 6 games in their lifetime (the phases of life), i also believe it is the values and beliefs - One can grow to love the job/calling, or one pivot towards the calling. Passion* for some, is best left to a hobby as it being a hustle may destroy the passion of the hobby in the first place (that Vox article of dying of hobbies). Finally it is the MBTI possibly - as MBTI has core values , 4 : responsibility , freedom, altruism , and erudite (knowledge seeking ), usually one start with 1 core value , and slowly have the rest.

[@johnathanqkr]

really enjoy the content of the podcasts. keep it up.

[@HannahRanita]

For what they mentioned about learning so quickly in the first two years and hitting a plateau after that, that's literally why so many ppl have a hard time mastering sth XD I'm speaking as a writer btw! The better you get, the harder it is imo

[@demonsmile]

Would be great if there were links provided for the articles mentioned😬

At the end of the day Money brings security

[@soonhockthefish9869]

any links to the 6 games you play? and the types of work growth (spiral, security, growth etc)

[@PrincessTila123]

The best is to work a job that eventually becomes your passion 🤣 then you never really “working” but growing your passion more. Although that may not get the most money as compared to other jobs but you can still have enough to sustain your lifestyle.

[@christinechia8859]

Goddd I like this episodeseeee! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@tyunxuan8]

hits me hard to watch this after work :"))

[@spiderjump]

depends on how much money ...

[@adamh4h4]

Appreciate the podcast but I wish it were longer(like the usual hour plus). I'd like to turn this on while doing something else.

[@kaykay-sf4os]

thank you

[@singgihgunawan902]

only people in entertainment put such a heavy weight for passion. the rest of us just think of money, money is freedom

[@XducationAI]

That’s very true lol

[@VzuallStudio]

Would you leave a cool job for a boring job that can pay you a wedding ring , banquet, down payment for LOVE??

[@meesanunab4811]

I think better to go for new love. Partner of material needs not worth to sacrifice for. Affection and love is free.

[@zooanimal7578]

This is damn good legit legit

[@matt9445]

Find a job that makes enough money to persue your passion and hobby.
