About this listen

Everyone has a second story, some people have a few. It’s the story we create after we’ve had that moment in our lives that move us in a different direction. For some people, its personal, they lose a loved one, or they find one. For others, it is professional, they chase a dream, or they miss out on one. Its what we do after that often defines the direction our life will go. Are you going to rest on your laurels? Or push even harder. Are you going to sit and stew, or stand up and fight? Are you going to stop at one story? Or are you going to re-write your own history? This is Second Story.@Second Story Podcasting Economics Social Sciences

  • You’re Still Living Your First Life (And Don’t Know It)
    Mar 23 2026

    Most people don’t realize they have a second life… until they’ve already lived through their first one.
    In this episode of Second Story, Josh talks about something most of us never question early enough—the life we’re living.
    The path.
    The plan.
    The version of success we were handed.
    For a long time, Josh thought he was doing everything right; he had the perfect family, the beautiful home, and the job he was good at.
    He was following the script. Building something stable. Moving forward.
    But at some point, he had to stop and ask a harder question:
    Was this actually his life? The career he wanted?… Or just the one he fell into?

    This isn’t about quitting your job or flipping your life overnight.
    It’s about awareness.
    Ownership.
    And choosing a direction that actually feels like yours.
    Because the truth is:
    You don’t get a second life when you succeed…
    You get it when you finally question the first one.

  • Why Stupid People Think They’re Smart
    Feb 26 2026

    Why do some people sound so confident — even when they have no idea what they’re talking about? In this episode, we break down the Dunning-Kruger Effect, the psychological phenomenon that explains why beginners often overestimate their knowledge while true experts tend to doubt themselves.
