I have my first guest on the show, my long time close friend, Jake Augustini. Jake is a fellow Texan, a singer/songwriter, someone who has worked in tech for the past decade, a world traveler, and shares a love for humor and understanding why we think the way we do.
We discuss an array of topics including:
- The risk of telling people about one’s creative endeavors
- Identity structures surrounding career, money, and status
- Struggling with a savior complex and my need for “impact”
- Early stage momentum with creative ideas
- The importance of community and getting inspired by others
- “The 3 C’s” framework: Commitment, Capabilities, and Confidence
- Fear of committing to different ideas and being "stuck" with them
At the end of the episode, Jake performs one of his original songs, "Ghost.”
