Knowing Yourself Is the Real Win In this episode of Between Coffee and Beer, we dive into the power of self-awareness, whether it’s in your job, your creative projects, or your side hustles. We talk about how being honest with yourself (and others) about who you are and what makes you happy can lead to better decisions, stronger teams, and a lot less burnout. From hiring the right bandmate to leaving a job that just doesn’t fit, this conversation is all about owning your truth even when it surprises you.
Podcast Summary:
It’s Never Too Late to Pivot
We start off with a reminder that it's never too late to change course. If something isn’t working, it’s okay to admit it and move on even if that means a total shift in direction. Happiness and alignment with your values always matter more than a title or paycheck.
Finding the Right Fit Isn’t Just About Skill
Whether you're hiring for a job or filling a spot in a band, skills aren't everything. We share stories about choosing people based on personality and vibe over resume lines and how that often leads to the strongest teams.
Be Real: Authenticity Wins
We reflect on how important it is to stay true to yourself, especially in business. Some people succeed by being an open book, while others thrive with more direct, traditional marketing. Both can work—as long as you're doing what feels right to you.
Life Lessons from Kids, Bands, and Jobs
A story about our son ghosting baseball (and someone ghosting his job) sparks a chat about the importance of showing up—or knowing when not to. Quitting isn't failure when you’re doing it for the right reasons.
Let Us Know Your Story
We wrap by asking you: When did you think something would be your thing, only to realize it wasn’t? Or when did you market yourself one way, then find success in a totally different style? Drop a comment or send us a message we’d love to hear about your own pivots and lightbulb moments.
