What Do You Love?
"What do you do?" is a question that is about as automatic as it gets when meeting someone new. It also happens to be dreaded by many, namely those who are undergoing career changes or hoping to seek out an identity outside of their 9-5.
Posing the question "What do you love?" instead invites people to open up about the things that actually make them who they are and truly make them tick. Deeper and more meaningful conversations can abound if we seek to learn more about someone's "why"s over their "what"s, and back-burnering the topic of their past, present, or future occupation.
Join host Justin Gott for this weekly show as he presents the titular question to thoughtful and interesting people in order to learn more about the them that exists outside of their daily line of work... and maybe pick up a thing or two about himself in the process.

Resilience & Running Successful Events
My guest for this episode is Onell Gibson. During our conversation, we briefly reminisced about our graduate program and playing basketball together before discussing the resilience that is built up after getting the rug pulled out from underneath you, the ins and outs of what makes him such a “people person,” why reflecting at the end of every day on what you learned that day is so important, and ultimately, why he loves running successful events (and Philadelphia sports teams).
