EPISODE 207
Who even are you?
And why I don’t carry as often as I once did.
You do honorable, important, and dangerous work in your profession, but that work also feeds into your social needs and you’ve internalized and reinforced the attributes that make you good at your job to a degree that sets you up for problems down the road. Mike addresses the importance of examining your identity, and why you need to expand your roles in life outside of your career because you might not always be as special as you think you are.
