What do you actually want?
It’s the question Josh Damigo asks every coaching client, and a month after being let go from his own job, it’s the one he’s been asking himself.
Josh is back in the studio as our resident expert in something he calls “fun-employment.”
He walks Spencer and Bryan through what his day looks like… meditation, journaling, two hours of reading, three job applications sent only to roles that fit, two coffee chats, and the gym at noon. It’s not aspirational; this is his routine. The kind built when, as Josh puts it, “your full-time job is getting a full-time job.”
But the routine is the easy part. The harder conversation is the one underneath it. What do you want from the next chapter? What do you definitely not want? Why “it’s better to be broke and joyful than miserable because you’re chasing a job.” And the warning that runs through the whole hour… motion only matters when it’s pointed somewhere.
A conversation for anyone navigating the in-between, and trying to answer the question honestly before they answer it under pressure.
