Mode To Joy

by Monica Lyle

Mode-to-Joy celebrates the people who've figured it out—the leaders, artists, athletes, influencers, scientists, politicians and performers – those who do what they love and love what they do. In each episode we'll sit down with someone who answered the question you're asking: what would it look like to wake up and do work that I’m genuinely passionate about? From leaders, artists, and athletes, to influencers, scientists, and more, we dig into their real stories and ask the real questions: How did you discover this was possible? What was the turning point? What does your day look like now? What impact do you wish to make in the world? What have you learned along the way? What would you tell others? By the end of each episode, you're going to have a clearer path to follow to achieve what your version of passion meets profession - looks like. Because if they can turn their passion into their life's work, the path exists for you too.
