In this episode, Justin Pohlmann shares his journey from full-time musician to talent acquisition leader at the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA). We explore how his transition taught him that passion isn’t the best starting point for a career search — and why identity and purpose should come first.
Justin offers a powerful framework for job seekers and leaders alike:
* Why your job is what you do, not who you are
* How to uncover your calling, mission, and passion in the right order
* The difference it makes to hire for alignment, not just ability
* How mission-driven organizations maintain purpose across every role
Whether you’re navigating a career change, leading a team, or rethinking what work means to you, this conversation will inspire you to align your work with who you are at your core.
