#146 Separating Work & Identity - Simone Stolzoff on the myth of a "Dream Job," last-minute around the world trip, journalism, work, identity, writing his book, knowing when to quit, and the dangers of turning passion into a livelihood

Simone Stolzoff has worn many hats. He's worked as a writer, designer, and now, Author. He grew up with "four parents", each having a unique influence on him,  He grew up being told he could do whatever he wanted but realized there were assumptions behind that.

#144 The Creator Pivot - Khe Hy on laying people off, collapsing course demand, seasons of creativity, having zero change in net worth in eight years, competitiveness, investing, coaching, and marriage on the pathless path

In 2015 Khe left a Wall Street carrier to pursue his own path of "uncomfortable introspection", reevaluating his life. This is a constant process - Khe is always being emergent to himself. Now he finds himself at a crossroads - after a great initial success in 2020, he recently had to scale down his cohort-based course.
