In this episode, I explore why modern society often values the act of “being employed” more than the substance of one’s work. I reflect on how corporate life grants social approval simply for showing up, while freelancers live without that safety net. Leaving a company, I argue, is not only a financial risk but also a psychological one—the loss of identity and recognition once tied to a job title. Through this reflection, I invite listeners to consider what truly defines personal worth beyond organizational belonging and to find the courage to build credibility on their own name.
