Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is that if you love your work, you can glean insights from all kinds of sources.
and illnesses. Everything is research.
I had a great time interviewing writer Serena Bowen for Before Breakfast last year.
Serena is amazingly prolific and has written literally dozens of novels, mostly romance and thrillers.
She has a devoted fan following who love being drawn into the worlds and stories she creates.
In our interviews, Serena mentioned taking ice skating lessons to learn how ice skating coaches talk.
What motivated the lessons?
A character in a book she is working on is an ice skating coach and she needed to be able to write realistic dialogue.
Serena explained, everything is research.
She said that's true for writers.
But I would say that's true in lots of other fields too.
The world offers up all sorts of ideas if we are willing to pay attention.
Personally, when I read or listen to podcasts or even interact with friends and family, I pick up strategies for streamlining daily life and building in meaning and fun.
Some of these strategies find their way into my podcasts or blog posts or books.
So, for me, listening to podcasts and reading magazines about spring cleaning or talking with other parents about birthday party hacks all count as research.
For an HR professional, reading and hearing about people's experiences of work is research.
What they learn about what frustrates people, what gives them a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, what attracts them to potential workplaces, and so forth, can all inform how the HR professional approaches his own work.
For an English teacher, pleasure reading is research.
A teacher might have occasion to teach the literature she reads, of course, either in its entirety, but perhaps also just as an excerpt—to illustrate a particular literary device.
If you work in marketing for a bakery, hearing about the pain points in people's daily lives could help you market your products.
You could promote quiche for a nice but easy breakfast when you have house guests.
You could highlight chocolate peanut butter bars or lemon ice box pie.
by, as desserts you can buy a couple days ahead of time, before a dinner party.
When you understand people's needs, you can figure out how your baked goods could meet those needs.
There was even a story on National Public Radio recently about a physicist who heard a game -show question about polar bears not showing up on infrared cameras, and was inspired in her scientific research by the antifreeze properties of polar bear's fur.
For sure, truly everything can be research, even a game show.
While it's certainly important to do things in your life besides work, when you love your work, you can gain insights from all kinds of sources, if you're paying attention.
So pay attention. You can learn a lot about the world, just by being in it.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
Thanks for listening, and here's to making the most of our time.

Hey, listeners, I need to tell you about Hill House Home.
I love this brand. They invented the viral nap dress, and let me tell you it is so flattering and comfortable with their signature smocking.
I'm not the only one who loves Hill House dresses.
Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Anne Hathaway, and in the Hill House nap dress.
One of my favorite things about Hill House dresses is how versatile they are.
I can wear the same dress during the day and then head out for dinner at night without missing a beat.
Hill House homes commitment to comfort and style doesn't stop at their dresses.
They started with bedding back in 2016 and their prints are just gorgeous.
Their bathrobes and pajamas are so soft because guess what, the PJs are made with the same cotton fabric as their baby onesies.
So when I wear them, I literally sleep like a baby.
Hill House is perfect for all ages.
They have the cutest baby and kids items like tiny robes, onesies, and PJs you can monogram, all just adorable.
