In episode 03, we reflect on the word “identity”.
“Many people seem to spend a lot of time trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and what they believe. We're constantly faced with complex decisions and circumstances and Identity helps us to make those important decisions.” says our guest James Broad, who is a Global Director for The Navigators, a worldwide Christian organization based in the States.
Together with Paul Mangell they discuss the many challenges that come with the word “identity”- from having a false identity and identity crisis to having no identity at all or demonstrating your identity boldly regardless of the consequences.
Following Paul and James’ highly insightful conversation, we search for the etymological roots of the word “identity” with the help of our guest Language Detective- Gerard Rodriguez- Alpha Studios’ very own sound engineer.
Later in the podcast, our co-host & producer Yuliya Stancheva reflects on some existential questions such as “Is identity something we are born with?” and “How do we cultivate it?”. Then, she hunts for exciting movies, books and songs that play with the word “identity” and make us ponder over questions such as who we are as individuals, as a society, or as a nation.
