CTRL+CLICK CAST: Embracing the Suck with Chris Harrison

There’s a reason they call it work: it’s not play. And sometimes the work we have to do sucks. For this week’s episode, Chris Harrison joins the show to encourage “embracing the suck,” AKA doing what you don’t want to do in order to grow and move forward. A WordPress developer, Chris shares his own experience embracing the suck when he started a new job and had to work with Drupal and Joomla. He discusses how he shifted his mindset and saw benefits (for both himself and his employer) from “sucking it up.” Chris also offers suggestions for anyone stuck in the suck, including side projects, creative outlets and helping others. Tune in now!

Thanks to CodePen for sponsoring this episode!
