The premise
Every job is a world. We ask people to take us through their day.
There are millions of careers out there and most of us only ever hear about a dozen. Take Me Through Your Day sits down with one guest at a time — from opera singers to mayors, cosmetologists to screenwriters — and walks through what they actuallydo all day.
No résumé jargon. No gatekeeping. Just honest conversations about the work behind the title — the good, the weird, and the parts nobody warns you about. Consider it a tasting menu for whatever you might want to be next.
