You know how a comedian will test out new material, and turn to their colleagues and ask, “Is this anything?”

Welcome to a new bonus episode series—aptly named just that (Is This Anything), that will run on our off weeks from the traditional show, where a guest and I will take their ideas, put it under a storytelling microscope, and find out if these ideas have legs. So what do you get? A front row seat on how the pro’s develop and evolve their stories.

So for this episode, meet my friend, Simone Stolzoff. Simone is a unique voice in the intersection of journalism and design, and he’s has been invited to speak at conferences like TED, where he tackles the big questions around work-life balance and identity with practical, actionable insights.

In this episode, Simone and I dive deep into the art of balancing multiple professional identities and how this balance can transform the way you tell stories. We explore the importance of focusing on small details and individual experiences rather than macro explanations, providing a more relatable and engaging narrative.
