What if the best thing about your work… is you?

In this episode, Denzil reflects on how a personal memory (and a conversation with Destin from Jane App) reframed how she thinks about the relationship between who we are and what we do.

Destin’s story about how her grandmother’s illness led her into nonprofit work and, eventually, to a career in community building reminded Denzil of something important: The personal parts of us don’t need to be tucked away from our professional lives. In fact, they might be our biggest advantage.

In this reflective episode, Denzil invites you to:

• Trace your own professional path back to its personal beginnings
• Notice the strengths that come easily (but might go unappreciated)
• Consider how your natural interests could shape your business in meaningful ways
  
  
  

If you’re building something (especially a clinic), this is a gentle nudge to follow that quiet thread that’s been there all along. The one that feels like you.
