Description
Work Sucks, But I Like It is the podcast about discovering what work should really feel like. Most people are burning out while chasing their passion in the work they do. Host Tony Tenaglier sits down with psychologists, entrepreneurs, creators, researchers, workers, and leaders to explore the science of flow, purpose, and meaningful work.
If you're tired of burnout, hustle culture, and feeling stuck in a job that drains you, this show offers practical insights and inspiring stories to help you rediscover engagement, fulfillment, and the joy of creating something that matters. Because work may suck sometimes—but it doesn't have to stay that way.
