Episode Details

Episode 63 of The Most Important Podcast Ever with BJD features the return of leadership coach and former Best Buy, Under Armour, and Tesla executive Angie Bruhn.

What begins as a conversation about layoffs, AI, and disruption quickly becomes something deeper: a discussion about identity, grief, reinvention, and learning who we are when life changes underneath us.

Brian and Angie reflect on:

• navigating uncertainty
• the emotional impact of job loss
• why “who you are” is different from “what you do”
• how AI is reshaping the workplace
• finding purpose after disruption
• and the importance of learning to love yourself beyond the title.

This episode includes deeply personal reflections from both Brian and Angie on loss, caregiving, parenthood, resilience, and the moments that reshape our lives forever.

“When it happens, it feels like wreckage… but it’s actually a passage.”

Grateful for these conversations… and for the incredible crew at Streetside Studio 7 and Deja Bleu House of Coffee who help bring them to life. Available everywhere you get your podcasts. #GratefulHeart
