SE01 EP29 - Redefining Professionalism & Ditching the Old Rules

from Sourdough Modernity · host StringFellow Hawke

Episode Description:What does it really mean to be professional in today’s world? Spoiler: it’s not about wearing a suit, fitting in, or playing corporate games. In this episode, we challenge outdated ideas of professionalism and call for a new standard — one rooted in merit, emotional intelligence, and basic human decency.We unpack how societal norms around appearance, behavior, and success have shifted (and still need to), why kindness belongs in every boardroom, and how we can build workplaces where talent and integrity matter more than how you look or how much noise you make.It’s time to evolve professionalism — because it shouldn’t just benefit the loudest, richest, or most "polished." Let’s build something better.www.buymeacoffee.com/sourdoughmodernityEmail us at: [email protected]. - WE HAVE MERCH NOW!https://ky1pgh-dy.myshopify.com

Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

Hear the stories behind the bakers, authors, growers, millers, artists, and other creative minds that you've always wondered about.
