Summary
There's a question that sounds simple. But for most of us — especially those who've built something real — it's one of the hardest questions to sit with. Who are you outside your job title? In this episode, I take you with me to Antarctica, to the Winter Olympics in Milan, to my farewell gathering on Microsoft's campus, and to the moment I almost didn't share my podcast publicly. Each of those moments taught me something different about identity. About how quietly it becomes wrapped up in a role. And about what it actually takes to start designing it from scratch. This is what it looks like — and feels like — to begin again. For newsletter updates, sign up here . For video episodes, visit our podcast on Apple , YouTube , or Spotify .
