Off Track: Who Are We Without the Title?

Welcome back to Off Track, the space where I speak unscripted, unfiltered and straight from the heart. No guests, no notes, just honest reflections shaped by real conversations and real life.

This week, I’m diving into my Season 5 episode with entrepreneur, speaker and founder of Untraceable, Tracy Hamoush. What started as a conversation about wellness, discipline and ambition quickly became something deeper, a reflection on identity, shortcuts and the courage to act on what we already know.

Here are the three insights behind this episode.

1️⃣ When the Title Disappears, You Meet the Real You

Tracy said something that really stayed with me: without the business card, you feel like nobody. And she’s right. Titles give us structure, pride and a sense of importance. I felt that deeply when I left my CEO role. Suddenly, I had to answer a harder question: who am I without the title? That transition forced me to do the inner work, to separate who I am from what I was called. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s where real identity is built.

2️⃣ The Quick Fix Is Always the Long Way

We spoke about shortcuts, whether in health, success or life. Tracy was clear: quick fixes don’t move you forward, they set you back. Focusing on fast results might feel good in the moment, but it ignores who you’re becoming long term. This applies far beyond fitness. Taking the easy route in career or life might protect your ego today, but it delays the growth you’ll need tomorrow. The harder path is often the right one.

3️⃣ Awareness Is the Starting Point, Not the Shift

Self-awareness puts you ahead of the game, but it’s not enough on its own. Tracy and I agreed on this completely. Knowing what needs to change means nothing unless you act on it. And not once, but consistently. Action builds momentum, and momentum creates real behavioral change. You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do something and keep showing up for it.

Honest, reflective and straight from the heart.

This is me, off my chest and off the cuff.
