Your Effervescence can not Wake Me Up Inside

What does it truly mean to be serious? Is it a complete lack of emotion, or is there more to it? In this episode, we get down to business to explore the concept of seriousness and its modern-day counterpart: professionalism.

We debate whether you can be "seriously happy" and if "being professional" is just a corporate rebranding of an old concept. The conversation takes a turn as we analyze the overly serious, almost robotic people we've all worked with. Is their intense demeanor a sign of focus, or is it a veneer to hide social anxiety or the fact that they have no idea what they're doing?

Join us for a discussion that covers:

  • The difference between being serious and being professional.
  • How a truly serious person might react to a joke.
  • The concept of being "locked in" and when it's necessary.
  • Why conversations about finances demand a certain level of seriousness.
