In this episode of The Identity Work Podcast, we chat with Daniel, whose interesting journey took him from Google and the explosive growth phase at Stripe to becoming a full-time stay-at-home dad. We explore the intentional, often counter-cultural choices he made along the way—like leaving his work laptop at work even amidst startup intensity—driven by faith, family, and a search for deeper meaning than corporate ladders offered.
Daniel shares the powerful concept of setting a financial 'finish line,' a practical strategy for aligning money and time with core values, offering insights valuable for anyone wrestling with 'enough.' His experience challenges us high-achievers to consider what we're performing high at and highlights how small, daily decisions truly shape a meaningful life (plus, we debate the merits of 11 AM salads).
