We often define ourselves by our job titles, spend the best years of our lives in offices—whether glass towers in the city or quiet corners of our own homes—but a title rarely tells the whole story.
This episode is a quiet look at the people behind the desks. It's an exploration of the small rituals that get us through the day, the impact our work has on our families, and the advice we'd give to someone just starting out.
It's an honest look at the human thread that runs through the modern office.
