What happens when the role you’ve carried for years — boss, leader, expert, pastor, parent — no longer defines you?
What do you do when a job ends, a season shifts, or life forces you out of the barrel you’ve been aging in?

In this Crafted Clarity conversation, Steve sits down with David Salyer to explore the tension we all face at some point in our lives:

Is my purpose tied to my position or does it live beyond it?

Together, they unpack:

🔸 How identity becomes fused to our job title
🔸 What happens when a role changes or ends
🔸 Why purpose doesn’t disappear when seasons shift
🔸 How to navigate the uncomfortable space between assignments
🔸 The difference between what you do and what you’re crafted for
🔸 How faith, calling, and purpose grow in the “in-between” seasons

Using whiskey as a metaphor for growth and transformation, this episode explores the idea that the barrel shapes the season… but never defines the spirit.
You are more than the role you’ve held.

And your purpose is not confined to a title.

If you’re in a career transition, questioning what’s next, or feeling the tension between what you’ve built and what you’re built for, this conversation won’t solve everything but it might help you see your season with greater clarity.
