Do You Like What You Do?

Sarah Goschy • March 6, 2017
I read an article in The New York Times recently that stuck out to me. It was about the importance of liking what you do and the negative emotional and financial implications that arise when you don’t. Perhaps the subject matter hit a little too close to home. Let me provide some context: When I decided to move back to Nashville after a 6-year stint in New York City, I was burnt out on a career filled with corporate ladder climbing and yes, a lot of success by anyone’s standards. I had a great title. I was making more money than I’d ever made. I was living the dream in the big city! If I’m honest, I was also unhappy.

Moving back to Nashville to work for roux has been a rewarding experience. One full of fun. A happy one. And for that, I’m grateful.
