This Week: No Wasted Experience: Turning Jobs Into Purpose This week, Brett welcomes Patrick Kae back to the podcast—this time not as a guest, but as a new co-host! As Brett prepares for a big move to Charlotte, Patrick is stepping into a bigger role, and together they reflect on what it means to step into the unknown, take on new challenges, and trust the process.A major theme of this episode is how all those seemingly random life experiences—odd jobs, unexpected pivots, moments that felt disconnected—can eventually reveal themselves to be useful. What once looked like a junk drawer becomes a toolbox for purpose.They discuss:How past roles and jobs helped shape their valuesWhy it’s okay (and necessary) to start before you feel readyHow to reframe uncertainty as opportunityThe importance of continuing to grow in recovery, even when the path isn’t clearWhether you're early in recovery or years into your journey, this conversation is a powerful reminder: No experience is wasted—it just might not make sense until later. New chapter. New co-host. Same heart.
