Your Artifacts Aren't Achievements.

Somewhere along the way, many of us start believing that our work is proof — proof that we're talented, valuable, or worthy of being in the room.

In this episode, Joe explores why it's so easy to tie our identity to what we produce...and how that mindset leads us to defend artifacts instead of solving problems.

You'll learn why outcomes matter more than deliverables, why simplicity is often harder than complexity and what it takes to separate your self-worth from your work.

This one is about letting go of the need to protect what you create — and finding confidence in the impact you leave behind.
