Joe Guay joins me for a conversation that kicks off with The Whole Mind Game, exploring the tension between a Real Job and being Self-Employed. We talk about the security and benefits that come with working for someone else, the control and purpose you can find when you work for yourself, and the trade-offs that make this such a personal decision.

From there, Joe reads his essay Realizing I Could Be More Than the Poor Man’s David Sedaris and we dive into the ways comparison can both inspire and limit a writer. We cover his path into voice-over work, the challenges of writing fiction, and the habits that protect a writer’s voice while still chasing big goals.
