Somewhere between teaching math in Miami and doing student films off Craigslist, this week’s guest, Zach Mendez, realized he wasn’t going back to a traditional career.

He just wasn’t built for it.

What followed wasn’t a clear plan, filled with stand-up gigs, improv classes, sketch comedy, philosophy books, long stretches of doubt, and a few lucky breaks.

Now he’s working in AAA games, bringing real humanity into roles that live inside the most fantastical worlds.

In this episode, Zach talks about the shift that changed everything:

Not trying to win.

Not trying to impress.

Just showing up, telling the truth, and having fun.

This one’s for anyone who’s realizing that there’s no “right” way to build a career.
