The pit returns with a special episode. Michael speaks to Jason Pargin, former executive editor of Cracked.com and the current head of video, Jordan Breeding, about self-worth and career success. This conversation was partially inspired by Jason Pargin’s recent video regarding making yourself valuable (https://youtu.be/wFBr685TjNs). When you’ve found yourself a value to others and you still haven’t reached the success you feel you’ve earned, what is the healthy way to proceed?

Oh shit, David Wong on my first podcast back and my favorite Beans pod, this is a great time to come back.

I find it weird that Swaim feels like he isn't succeeding in some way. I think we grew up with the idea that fame and success was movie and tv and Swaim is out ahead on such a good format that Hollywood is still catching up to. The podcasting format is so much more personal and meaningful and fame comes in pockets in modern media... I think the things he has done here is so much more meaningful than some "successful" things done in Hallmark. Like... would it really be better to make throwaway movies for Hallmark and be successful in that than launch a podcast network where people will make deep connections to your work as a person? I dunno. I just don't see it. Sure... there's also megasuccess that we could all dream of, but even that... like James Cameron made Avatar, one of the most successful movies of all time with more coming... who's even still talking about it? Who's finding a deep connection with it? I think expectations of what we consider success or impactful needs to mentally shift.

Oh they kinda got there... interesting concept to "let the dream die"... I'd say it'd be more akin to allowing yourself to find your own dream. Hollywood and fame and shit is the dream sold to us as what we should desire. Finding something else just feels like us finding a dream that's ours.
