Do you hate the question, "What do you do for a living?". Have you ever asked someone that question and realized how uninteresting it was as soon as you said it... after you heard a deep sigh? Many of us have too many projects going to answer that question well, or we have to do a few jobs to make ends meet. I have a few suggestions on how to ask better "what do you do?" questions and maybe how to answer them better too PLUS a really funny story about my own experience too.

Every Wednesday comes a short episode called Soul School. I'll even give you some homework to boost the effects. You can report your discoveries at Facebook.com/sparkmymuse and see what others are saying. I'd love to hear your suggestions for how to answer the "What do you do for a living?" question in a creative and insightful way when you happen to make a living in a complex sort of way.

Spark My Muse is released twice weekly.
Listen again on FRIDAY.
FRIDAYS feature longer conversational guest episodes with topics that will spark your muse.

So, podcasts live and die by the algorithm. It's one of those unfortunate truths iTunes lords over us. That means getting reviews makes a BIG difference, and I need your help. Would you please leave would-be listeners a helpful rating or review? Just a sentence or two on iTunes is perfect.

You are part of the nifty ecosystem of wonderful listeners hearing this in one of the 146 countries listening in worldwide. WOW. That blows my mind to be honest. Thank you so much for spending so time with me today.

I’d love to hear from you. Stop by SparkMyMuse.com and say “hello” using the handy dandy contact page I set up for just that purpose. Or tweet me something.
