    In this episode of Sniffing Out the Bullsh*t, host Sabrina Chevannes debunks the myth of 'Follow your passion' in entrepreneurship. She emphasizes that while passion is valuable, it should not be the sole motivator for starting a business.

    Through personal anecdotes and the journeys of successful entrepreneurs like Sarah Blakely and Steve Jobs, Sabrina highlights the importance of solving real-world problems and mastering one’s craft.

    She cautions against the dangers of pursuing a passion-driven career without the necessary skills, practical considerations, or market research, citing studies from the University of Montreal and Stanford.

    The episode advocates for a balanced approach, stressing perseverance, curiosity, and practical problem-solving. The narrative critiques social media's glamorization of quitting stable jobs for passion projects and recommends books like 'So Good They Can’t Ignore You' by Cal Newport, 'Grit' by Angela Duckworth, and 'The Lean Startup' for further insights on achieving long-term success.
