It’s Hater Hour, babies! Caroline takes us through the many steps in her career path this week, with key takeaways along the way. She covers using disparate skills to create something new, the logistics of quitting your day job, and how to sit in discomfort to make your dreams happen.

She also provides some deep takes on what “passion” even means when it comes to your work, cultivating hobbies, and how trying something for fun can lead to unexpected outcomes. If you’re caught between passion and responsibility, this one’s for you.
