Fresh Take: Dan Heath on Fulfilling Careers, Better Decision Making, and What Kids Remember Most About Childhood

What does it really take to build a fulfilling life—and how do we help our kids do the same? Bestselling author and host of the podcast "What It's Like to Be..." Dan Heath joins Amy for a conversation that challenges some of the biggest assumptions parents make about success, careers, decision making, and what their kids will remember most about growing up.

Dan shares why meaningful work often comes from unexpected places and why room for experimentation and exploration is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children.

Dan and Amy discuss:

Why there's no such thing as a universally "good" career

How to help kids discover passions without putting pressure on them

A simple exercise that creates unforgettable family memories

Why experimentation leads to more fulfilling work and life

Four common decision-making "villains"—and how to avoid them

Practical ways to make parenting, work, and everyday decisions with more clarity
