I'm Not Who You Think I Am

Scott Lynch
About this episode

We’re all navigating a world where image is everything, but it’s hard to show up as our true selves when so much of life demands a polished facade. When my wife and I had our daughter, Ainsley, our life turned upside down in the best way possible—and then, in a moment of boldness (or madness), I left my stable job to pursue a new path. It was a leap that shifted our lives and pulled me into a new version of myself that even I didn’t quite recognize. In a culture that idolizes a highlight reel, it’s all too easy to lose ourselves in the expectations of others. I share how embracing change forced me to confront the gap between who people think I am and who I really am.
