What happens when you realize you've tied your entire identity—and self-worth—to your job title? This week, we're joined by Vasileios Nikolopoulos, whose Space Summit talk became one of our most-discussed ever. We dive into the uncomfortable question: Who are you, when you’re not at work?

What this episode covers

We explore the trap of turning hobbies into side hustles, the surprising power of boredom (backed by Harvard research), and the moment a late-night Slack message became a wake-up call. Vasileios shares his personal journey from growing up in a culture of "doctor or lawyer" to rediscovering joy in broken motorcycles and un-posted moments. This is a conversation about breaking free from the "grindification" of life and learning to listen to yourself again.
