Most people think professionalism is about fitting in, but what if it’s actually the reason we feel disconnected from ourselves? This podcast explores the tension between who we are and who we feel pressured to be at work, in relationships, and in everyday life.

Through candid conversations, we unpack how different environments shape our behavior, how limiting beliefs form, and what it looks like to actually understand yourself beyond the roles you play.

As a natural connector, Oscar is a problem solver with a passion for storytelling through the lens of culture and authenticity. You've probably seen his work online as a comedic actor/producer, and he's best known as the other half of the music parody duo Juan Bago and O.

He is now the Cultural Partnerships and Activations Lead on the Global Brand Activations Team at Vistaprint.

In this week’s episode, Oscar tells us how his rebellious nature shaped his creative career and how he had the courage to leave a “stable” career behind. He was always encouraged to pursue a government job and a pension. But he knew that kind of career wouldn’t make him happy. Fast forward a few years, and Oscar is a viral sensation. He’s worked with the Billboard Awards, is a host on the Smartest Guys in the Room podcast, and has performed with comedy sketches around the world.
