In this segment of the You Winning Life Podcast, host Jason Wasser (SPEAKER A) and guest Marc Weinstein (SPEAKER B) discuss the practical realities of becoming a therapist and the role of social media in building a therapeutic practice. The host admits he often discourages people from pursuing therapy as a career, noting it’s not a glamorous path despite his passion for the work. They explore why figures like Dr. Phil achieve media prominence and what steps are required to reach that level. The conversation then shifts to personal work philosophy, with the guest emphasizing a strong preference for freedom over a traditional 9‑to‑5 desk job. He describes deliberately moving away from a fixed schedule toward project‑based, mobile work, collaborating with diverse people and enjoying the flexibility it provides.

Chapters

It's not so, you know, I talk people out of becoming a therapist all the time. Yeah, exactly. I'm so good, right? I would love, right? And it's like this, it's not such a sexy career, even though I love what I do. And I'm using social media to leverage it. But like, people are talking about these things as if it's like, I want to figure out like why, you know, Dr. Phil or all these people have talk shows, I want that. I'm like, yeah, but what do they have to do to get there? That's the tricky part.
Yeah. And that's just it, right? Like, I, in my work life, I really value freedom. So I hate sitting at a desk from 9 to 5. It's just not something that I really like. And I've made an effort to remove myself from that lifestyle and to focus more on, you know, on projects. And it's cool because I get to move around a lot. I get to work with a bunch of different people, and there's a huge positive side to that.
