The Not My Job Pod is a podcast hosted by Emily Gant about work, people, and the weird stuff in between.
This podcast was born out of a simple realization: I don’t want my job to be my entire personality. So I talk to people outside the tech bubble — artists, community builders, creatives, and curious minds — about the passions, projects, and ideas that make them come alive. Just real conversations about what people love and why it matters to them.
