  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Identity Work Podcast, we dive into the habit of debating hypothetical future decisions and whether it's a waste of time or a helpful exercise. Adam shares his experience of spending countless hours pondering which business school to attend—Harvard or Stanford—even though he never applied to either. We discuss how high achievers often escape into future fantasies to cope with present stress, and how this can be both a source of joy and a hindrance.

    We explore the fine line between hopeful dreaming and unproductive rumination, touching on how focusing on specific actions we can control brings us back to the present. Stephen relates this to his own experiences in dating, highlighting how overthinking future possibilities can overshadow enjoying the moment.

    Join us as we balance embracing future aspirations and staying grounded in today. Where can you let go of 'what ifs' to find more meaning in your work right now?
