About this listen

EPISODE 002

In this reflective episode, CK shares how a year of independent work has brought a deep sense of calm and clarity. He ties the feeling to the changing Midwest seasons—fall’s natural slowing echoing his own shift in pace.

After years of software development at agencies, this new rhythm has helped him realize the power of purposeful work. Even amid stress and uncertainty, having direction reshapes how he approaches his craft and manages tension.

It’s not about working less, but working with intention. We often get pulled into directionless building in tech, which traps us in limbo. It's exciting at first but ultimately hollow.

Listeners are urged to build with purpose—not just because we can but because something meaningful is worth sustaining. Our best work is done not out of opposition but out of love for what we’re trying to protect or create.
