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.
What Do You Love?
Azadi & Dancing
My guest for this episode is Kiana Kamalian. During our conversation, we discussed her ever-present energetic spirit and her quest for freedom in all forms; the experience of not wanting to leave her home country and the long adjustment period she faced emigrating from Iran to the United Kingdom; the importance of feedback and being asked the right questions; the prominence of mental health conversations on social media; the value of trial and error in every walk of life; how breaking both of her wrists at the same time propelled her towards a new future she truly desired; and ultimately, why she loves dancing.
