Episode 22: Personal self? Work self? It's the same self.

Probably sometime in the middle of 2017, I noticed that some random dude on the Internet named Vadim was liking and resharing some of my stuff. Within a few months, I realized he lived in NYC -- where I’m from! -- but worked for a company in Fort Worth, where I lived. We met at a hotel and had a free breakfast and shot the shit about life. About a year later, we ended up being co-workers at that place. I lasted maybe eight months there, none too spectacularly. He was there probably 2.5 years. Now we’re both gone, but remain friends, so we had this conversation or Episode 22 of my show here.

Most of this is about feedback, authenticity, work-life balance, and imposter syndrome. There was actually 8 minutes and 44 seconds at the beginning where we were discussing penis necklaces, but I took that out because … well, vague notions of professionalism. Then there were about 3 minutes and 51 seconds at the end where we were gossiping about people you probably don’t know, so I took that out too. What’s left is still fun. Let’s get to it.
