What's in the Title?

What's in the Title?

Your backstage pass to the world—and future—of work. Ever wondered what people really do all day at work? Not the polished LinkedIn version—the real story. That’s what ‘What’s in the Title?’ is all about. Think of it like this: you’re at a party, you meet someone with a job you’ve always heard of—or maybe never even knew existed—and you get to ask them everything. What’s their day actually like? What skills do they need? What surprised them? What’s the stuff nobody tells you? This podcast is for the endlessly curious—the ones who love learning things they didn’t even know they wanted to know. And it’s for anyone staring at a career crossroads, wondering: Is this job really what I imagine? What does it take? Could this be my next move? We go behind the job title, unfiltered. From the obvious roles you think you know to the quirky ones you’ve never considered, we uncover the magic, the mess, and the mindset behind every profession. Along the way, you’ll pick up insights, clarity, and maybe even the spark for your next big step.
