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.

Living My Best Life & The Raiders
My guest for this episode is Reza Aslan. During our conversation, we discussed his decision to retire from public life; how he came to an understanding on what “living his best life” actually means; the concept of nationalism in relation to figuring out who you are (or, for some people, who you aren’t); why learning things simply to learn them is a big deal; becoming a pretty solid cook late in life; and ultimately, why he loves the Raiders.
