Episode notes

Who are you when the job title drops away? This episode digs deep into the question we often avoid but desperately need to ask ourselves.


Jake and Damian dive into the importance of knowing who you are beyond your role, sharing honest and powerful insights from guests like Simon Sinek, Phil Heath, Ali Abdaal, and John McAvoy. They unpack how easy it is to confuse identity with achievement, and why that can leave us lost when the spotlight fades.


From writing your own obituary to asking a friend what truly makes you you, this episode offers simple yet profound ways to reconnect with your real self, beyond the job, the status, or the performance.


It’s a grounding reminder to live with purpose, let go of regret, and define success on your own terms.
