What is it about work that defines us? Is it that “A man should be what he can do,” as Private Prewitt says in “From Here to Eternity”? Or that “A job is not just a job. It’s who you are, per Remy from 2010’s “Repo Men”? Is it some pithy third pop culture quote that we couldn’t find because the Internet stopped working for about an hour earlier today? Who can say?

 This week, our boys Sid and Keith will breakdown the breakdown of what actual jobs consist of - standards versus goals, setting targets, understanding that obstacles aren’t an unwelcome challenge but the actual reason for the job existing … oh yeah, we’re diving deep this week, dear listeners. Getting all introspective up in this podcast, ya heard?

So, tune in and turn up this week’s episode of the Overlap Podcast or you’ll be missing out on understanding the … jobliness of jobs.
