Scott Galloway just dropped a truth bomb that hit different: "follow your passion" might be the most overrated advice out there.

In a recent podcast conversation, he called out what many won't say out loud—this whole "passion" thing? It's pretty much a luxury belief. Works great if you've got a trust fund. Not so much if you're grinding to make rent.

His take: real success isn't about chasing dreams. It's about mastering skills that actually pay. Staying consistent when nobody's watching. Building something people value, even if it doesn't light your soul on fire at 6 AM.

Think about it in Web3 terms—how many projects launched purely on "passion" without solid tokenomics, without understanding smart contract security, without community building skills? They got rekt.

Meanwhile, the builders who put in unglamorous hours learning Solidity, studying game theory, understanding market dynamics? They're the ones still standing.

Sometimes the boring work creates the freedom to eventually do what you love. But you gotta eat first.
