dispatches from the new world of work

COOL Friends!

Forget the Merry Pranksters and Jack Kerouac. Brett Farmiloe and Zach Hubbell are traveling across the country in an RV—with a mission. They are looking for people who are passionate about their work. They're hoping that by finding passion-filled professionals (and not-so-professionals), interviewing them, and publicizing their stories, they'll inspire those who haven't yet found an occupation that vaults them out of bed in the morning. Along with Jay Whiting and Noah Pollock, they are driving the Pursue the Passion RV all over the U.S. If you see it, honk your horn, and maybe they'll interview you. (Only for the next few days—their trip ends in Tucson next week.) Their website is Pursue the Passion, and we turn the tables by interviewing the interviewers here. Read the Cool Friends interview with Brett Farmiloe and Zach Hubbell.

It seems that these guys could be their own poster children. They quit jobs they didnÂ´t like, to pursue something that seemed much more worthwhile to them. Way to go!

For myself, I found that happiness didnÂ´t come in the pursuit of early retirement. Instead, I found it much more interesting to find a career I loved so much that it didnÂ´t feel like work. Throw in a dash of simple living, so that you have the flexibility to change gears if you want without going bankrupt, and you have the recipe for peace.

As my dad always tells me. Â¨Son, donÂ´t be one of those guys who spends money he doesnÂ´t have to impress people who donÂ´t care.Â¨

Thanks for letting me share my two cents.
