Meet Dylan. It’s past midnight, and he’s still awake, staring at the TV while his thoughts spiral. In just a few days, he’ll start a new job—a fresh opportunity—but instead of feeling excited, doubt creeps in. What if I mess up again? What if this job is just like the last one? He left his previous role because of a toxic manager, but now he wonders—was it just the company, or is he the problem? His mind replays every past mistake, convincing him that history will repeat itself. The stress lingers into the morning, leaving him drained before the day even begins. Dylan wants to break this cycle. He wants to navigate change with confidence instead of fear. But how? In this episode, Jay is joined by Nick Tasler, an organizational psychologist and bestselling author who helps leaders like Dylan embrace change and make better decisions.
