November 17, 2025
Most people don’t have “bad careers.”
They have the wrong environment.
If you’ve ever wondered why you can crush it in one role and completely flounder in another, this episode will blow your mind.
I’ll show you how to identify your ideal work environment using a simple framework I call “People as Plants.”
We’ll look at what kind of soil, light, and water you need to thrive, and how to spot those conditions before you even accept the offer.
You’ll learn how to ask smarter interview questions, rebuild self-trust after layoffs, and use neuroscience to find (and recognize) your dream job faster.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “What’s wrong with me?”, this episode is the answer.
🎯 In this episode we riff on:
↠ Why so many high performers get stuck in jobs that aren’t right for them
↠ How your brain and body actually know when something’s not a fit
↠ The “people as plants” framework to find your perfect environment
↠ How layoffs, fear, and job trauma cloud your self-trust
↠ The science behind manifesting (and why it’s not magic, it’s neuroscience)
↠ How to use your RAS to spot dream opportunities faster
↠ The exact questions to ask in interviews to make sure they’re a fit for you
↠ Why vulnerability and self-awareness make hiring managers fall in love with you
