“he’s reduced work to just 10% of his identity” this is a great way to think about it, and something I want to do as well

Yeah, that was one of those moments where everything just started to make sense.

This was probably my favorite episode yet.

I really enjoyed the discussion on % identity and curating your tribe. I hope you explore these topics further. For example:

1. How might a % identity evolve over time, across all identities (not just work)? What goes up and down? e.g. it may be like having a "diversified portfolio of identities" that you might have specific % identity allocation targets that change over time (just we do for stocks/bonds), and continue to rebalance bi-annually.

2. How can one cultivate a tribe not centered on work, when it's currently enmeshed in work? How does your tribe subtly impact your choices? How can you curate people in-and-out?

Thanks Michael! Keep it up.
