The One About the Pro Leisure Circuit (Again)

In our 99th episode, Rands is back on the Pro Leisure Circuit — infinite time, a suspicious amount of Arc Raiders, and no wind in the sails — and we wrestle with what actually motivates a person when the engine of work goes quiet.

The usual suspects:

• Arc Raiders, absorbing ten-hour days like it's a job
• Rands Leadership Slack — 35,000 leaders, 7,000 a week
• Daring Fireball, John Gruber's one-person media entity
• Ray Kroc, who started McDonald's in his fifties
• CalArts, where Lyle's daughter learned she didn't want to animate for a living
• UC Santa Cruz, Lyle's decade in the state of California
