Light Work

Our work is one of the most profound mirrors we have. It shapes our relationships, tests our character and delivers some of life's most enduring lessons often in the moments we least expect it.Joining me is Michael Fisk, a friend and a senior Hollywood executive whose career has spanned Sony Pictures, MGM, Amazon, Warner Bros and Lionsgate building international marketing operations from the ground up and leading over 500 global campaigns across more than 70 countries. He is now the owner of Pangram Entertainment, a production and distribution company bringing original film and TV to worldwide audiences, and Co-Founder and CEO of Callandor Group the first global registry for Sports AI IP, building the foundations for how sports and artificial intelligence will intersect for generations to come. He's someone who has moved through extraordinary professional disruption with both rigour and grace, and emerged with a deeper understanding of himself and the way he leads.Today, we explore what his journey reveals about identity, adaptability and the quiet lessons embedded in high-stakes work. How do we draw meaning from the hardest chapters of our careers? And how does the person we become through our work ripple outward into our relationships, our communities, and the world around us?

Most people don't realize that work is actually a subconscious laboratory for the self. We rarely clock in with the intention of "finding ourselves," yet the daily grind, the friction of high-stakes projects and the rhythm of the hustle, quietly carves out who we are long before we realise we’re looking.Joining me to unpack this is my former colleague Dan Bulteel, a global social media marketing powerhouse and entrepreneur. Dan has held industry-defining roles at TikTok and Adidas, and is now the CEO of MEET-TING, an AI-driven venture redefining how we manage our most precious resource. Time.Today, we explore how our professional journeys serve as a mirror to our internal worlds, defining our identity often without us knowing it. We’ll discuss why work plays such a pivotal role in this self-discovery and how the evolution of our "professional self" ultimately ripples out to transform the lives and worlds of everyone around us.

Is a career just a ladder to be climbed, or is it a mirror to the soul? Join me Michael Djan and my good friend Evelyn Zhang as we sit down to explore the profound intersection of professional ambition and personal purpose.In this episode, we navigate the complexities of "the climb"—from the lessons learned in the trenches of the corporate world to the moments of clarity that supports our purpose. True success isn't just about reaching the top, it’s about revealing your inner light can be communicated through work. Together, we pour over how to align your daily output with your highest intent, ensuring that your career path makes sense for the unique gifts you give the world. If you are looking to bridge the gap between your professional "doing" and your spiritual "being," this is your guide.

In this intro episode I explores the deeper questions surrounding work, identity, and purpose. I share personal experiences of redundancy and the emotional turmoil it can cause. Exploring work being more than just a pay check, I discusses the importance of integrity and curiosity in navigating one's career and invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery and brining light to work.
