Prof G advises against following your passion in favor of following your talent, emphasizing that the path to success and fulfillment is not always aligned with one's passions. He argues that while something might give you some enjoyment, it doesn't necessarily need to be your passion 00:05:00 - 00:05:02.

He warns not to mistake something you are good at and enjoy for a passion 00:05:06 - 00:05:07. Instead, he suggests that you should "follow your talent, not your passion" 00:05:09. Prof G points out that being great at something brings with it certain benefits or "accoutrements" such as relevance and admiration 00:05:13 - 00:05:28.

This approach is underscored by the acknowledgment that achieving economic security requires hard work, talent, and a strong focus on money, rather than just following one's passion 00:03:15 - 00:03:26.
