Every story begins somewhere.

In Part 1 of this conversation about careers and neurodivergent life, David K? is joined by co-host Jessica Random and guest Ridge to begin exploring the moments that quietly shape who we become.

The discussion starts with a simple but powerful question: what small moment from life keeps resurfacing? From there, the conversation moves into early memories of feeling different, and the ways those moments begin to influence how we see ourselves in school, work, and the world around us.

These grounding stories set the stage for a deeper exploration of identity, patterns, and the paths neurodivergent people often take through their careers.

At the end of the episode, a thread from the neur0loom story appears — the first hint of a quiet character whose story unfolds across the four parts of this conversation.
