This episode is for anyone curious about life on the road, considering a career change, or just wondering what the view from the cab is really like. I'm pulling back the curtain on the things I learned the hard way—the unspoken realities of being a truck driver.

We dive into the surprises, the challenges, and the essential truths about the industry that no recruiter, friend, or YouTube video ever tells you upfront. If you’ve ever considered becoming a trucker, this is the checklist you need.

We all live in the space between what we expect and what we actually get. In this episode, we dive into the messy reality of the perception gap: how we see ourselves, the ‘masks’ we choose to wear for the world, and the difference between those layers and how other people see us.

Join me in the cab of the semi as we explore why our own assumptions are often our biggest challenge, and how understanding this gap can lead to a more authentic—and less disappointing—life.

Every October we put on costumes, but what about the masks we wear the rest of the year? We dive into the philosophy of everyday masking: it’s not about lying, it's a social survival tool driven by our primal fear of rejection.

We explore the high-stakes moment when your different "masks" (the professional you, the family you, the friend you) collide, and what happens when you realize you've been wearing one mask for so long that you’ve forgotten the person underneath it. This is a crucial conversation about authenticity, social dynamics, and the constant balancing act of being seen versus fitting in.
