There’s a moment in every career when it hits:
No one is coming to fix this for you.
In this episode, Joe talks about agency — what it really means, why helplessness fuels burnout — and how reclaiming control starts with small, deliberate actions.
Now, this isn’t just another tough-love rant, mind you.
It’s a reminder that your power doesn’t come from being fearless — it comes from feeling that fear and acting anyway.
