Work Sucks, But I Like It
**Work can suck—**and this podcast dives into the elephant in the room: the daily grind. From toxic workplaces to those rare moments where we actually feel like we’ve earned our paycheck, we explore how people navigate the chaos of modern work-life balance. Honest, relatable, and sometimes a little cathartic, this show is all about what it really takes to survive (and maybe even thrive) in today’s working world. Tony is a Quality Manager in the aerospace industry and a columnist writer for Thermal Processing Magazine. He is currently pursuing his PhD in I/O Psychology and is the author of "The Impression of a Good Life: Finding Your Song and Dance" and "Don't Let Life Pass You By: Win the Game of Work and Play".
Work Sucks, But I Like It
E9: Work Sucks, But I Like It: Why It's Time to Rethink How We Value Work
“Life is not a spectator sport.” – Zig Ziglar
We live in a culture that constantly tells us to escape work. To “do our own thing,” retire early, or make passive income while sipping drinks on a beach. If we’re not careful, this narrative slowly convinces us that work is a prison sentence — something to be endured until we reach some vague finish line of success, freedom, or validation.
So, Why This Podcast?
Because work matters.
Because the stories of real people doing real work deserve to be heard.
Because not everyone needs to start a business to live a meaningful life.
Because you don’t have to go viral to be valuable.
Because work, when seen rightly, is not a prison — it’s a practice.
And because we need a new kind of conversation — one rooted in participation, purpose, and presence.
If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to be part of it. Visit worksucksbutilikeit.com and reach out if you have a story to share.
Let’s stop spectating and start showing up — together.
