Episode 7: When the Story Changes
Sometimes life shifts in a way that’s hard to explain. The plan made sense. The rhythm felt right. But something changes—and suddenly, you’re standing in a story that no longer fits. In this episode, I’m talking about those quiet turning points. The ones where leadership feels uncertain, identity feels blurry, and the version of yourself you thought you knew starts to evolve. I’ll share what it looked like for me—in the work I do, in being a dad, and in how I process it all through music and art. I’ll also open up about the story behind “Borrow Mine”, my standalone single written for anyone who’s out of gas and tired of pretending they’re not. Because sometimes what we need isn’t advice. It’s presence. And a little borrowed hope until we can find our own again. You’ll also notice something different about the intros from now on. I’m not explaining it. Just go with it. Let’s keep this thing fun. If you’re feeling in-between right now—between what was and what’s next—I hope this episode gives you a little permission to pause, reflect, and keep writing the next line at your own pace. 🎧 Listen to my music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2fVaE8YQk3YIGFgPrfGTzG 📖 Grab my book The Optimist’s Way on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJV7PDZ5 🌐 Explore more of my work—art, music, advocacy—at: www.mikebakerhq.com Thanks for being here.
