About this episode

I had my first real session with someone using the methodology I've been developing. I went in with a question I'd been carrying for months. I came out understanding that the question had been in his life for years before I walked in — and that the work isn't about asking better questions. It's about being honest enough that the person across from you has room to be honest back. This episode is about what happened in that conversation. What landed, what didn't, and the moment I broke the script — and why I think that was the methodology working, not breaking.It's also about the bigger thing the session surfaced: that the identity question underneath all of this — who are you, separate from what you do — isn't something AI is creating. It's something AI is making impossible to keep avoiding.CONNECTWebsite: https://samuelkirk.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/samkirkIf something in this episode hit home — or if past episodes have stayed with you — I'd love to hear from you.
