Episode Zero – Introduction, Rules, and Jobs vs. Gigs
Welcome to Episode Zero — the official launch of the show.
In this kickoff episode, Stephen (your host) and Michael (co-host from the coast) introduce themselves, explain what this podcast is all about, and lay down the ground rules for how things will run moving forward. This is the foundation episode — who we are, why we’re doing this, and what listeners can expect.
From there, we dive into our first real conversation: Jobs vs. Gigs — the good, the bad, and the honest truth. We break down:
Stability vs. flexibility
Benefits vs. freedom
Risk tolerance
Family impact
Burnout, side hustles, and long-term sustainability
No fluff. No corporate buzzwords. Just real-world perspective from two married dads balancing careers, responsibilities, and ambition.
This episode sets the tone for the show: candid conversations, practical insight, a little humor, and advice drawn from lived experience.
This is where it starts.
