Is This Working?! dives into meaningful work and the messy humans who do it. As AI reshapes industries and upends old definitions of success, social entrepreneur and Stanford GSB lecturer Connor Diemand-Yauman talks with extraordinary people about both sides of the story: the outer work (what they built, how they pivoted, the tactics that actually worked) and the inner work(the therapy, the doubt, the failure) it took to get there. Because when the world is changing this fast, maybe these stories are the only way to know if any of this is actually working.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-24T12:18:39.044702+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/is-this-working-7581836"},"episode":{"title":"Jin Ha (Hamilton, Only Murders In The Building): Stop Performing and Start Breathing","slug":"jin-ha-hamilton-only-murders-in-the-building-stop-performing-and-start-breathing","published_at":"2026-02-25T11:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/is-this-working-7581836/jin-ha-hamilton-only-murders-in-the-building-stop-performing-and-start-breathing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/is-this-working-7581836","url":"https://episode.flightcast.com/01KJA6YFY747KBMYRF1ZX20DCS.mp3","audio_url":"https://episode.flightcast.com/01KJA6YFY747KBMYRF1ZX20DCS.mp3","summary":"\"Are you breathing?\" Jin Ha's acting teacher used to interrupt class with that one question. It became a running joke among the students. It also changed how Jin Ha moves through the world. Jin Ha is a Korean American actor currently playing Aaron Burr in Hamilton on Broadway. He's also starred in Apple TV's Pachinko, worked opposite Steve Martin and Martin Short in Only Murders in the Building, with Nick Offerman on Devs, originated a role in one of Stephen Sondheim's final musicals, just wrapped season two of Apple TV's Sugar alongside Colin Farrell, and opens next in the Broadway revival of Proof this spring. Before all of that, he was at Columbia talking himself out of a banking career after his mom gently asked if he actually wanted to work at a bank. Smart mom. This conversation is packed with ideas that have nothing to do with acting and everything to do with how we work. Jin Ha breaks down why imposter syndrome hits your best people hardest (and what to do about it), shares the \"instant expert\" mindset his teacher used to unlock fearlessness in impossible situations, and tells a Nick Offerman story that quietly redefines what real leadership looks like. Connor and Jin also go somewhere most work podcasts won't: mortality, ego, and what happens when you stop performing your identity and just show up. Funny, grounded, and full of things you can actually use on Monday morning.","meta_description":"\"Are you breathing?\" Jin Ha's acting teacher used to interrupt class with that one question.
