Episode 140: Amy Jo Martin - How To Answer "What Do You Do?" Jun 23, 2019

Show notes

What do you do? This question can be one of the most annoying questions on the planet, and answering it stumps a lot of us. There's the literal "I work for xyz company" or "I am an insert the blank." Then there's, what do you really do? What is it that you are doing on this planet? In this episode Amy Jo and Emily Costopoulos discuss the "What do you do?" question and provide guidance on how to answer it with more meaning and purpose.

They also talk through how your title may be feeding your ego not your soul, tips on how to get a conversation around "What do you do?" started in the right way, why you don't have to complete a 180 to re-invent what you do and it's never too late to figure out why you do what you do.
