  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Identity Work Podcast, we reflect on the classic career dilemma: Should you settle for "good enough" now to pave the way for "great" later? Hosts Stephen and Adam explore the tension between short-term sacrifices and long-term aspirations, sharing personal anecdotes and practical insights on how to make career decisions with intention.

    Adam unpacks his journey of testing hypotheses about meaningful work and balancing the desire for autonomy with the reality of gaining experience. They discuss the importance of knowing what you’re striving toward, why paying dues can sometimes feel aimless, and how to make it more purposeful.

    Listeners will learn strategies for navigating career uncertainty, testing ideas before fully committing, and finding gratitude even in the hard parts of the journey.

    As you wrap up this episode, consider: What’s one door you could open with a bit more effort today?
