In this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske explores one of the most fundamental yet overlooked questions: Who am I? Identity is more than just a title, a profession, or a role; it’s the foundation that shapes decisions, relationships, and personal fulfillment.
Dr. Buske shares a conversation with a fellow dentist who, despite years of professional success, feels lost and disconnected. This powerful discussion unveils a deeper issue—how many professionals unknowingly tie their entire identity to their careers, only to find themselves unfulfilled when passion fades.
Drawing from his 27 years in dentistry, Dr. Buske reveals how maintaining a fluid and evolving sense of self has kept his passion alive. He challenges listeners to break free from rigid identities that keep them trapped in expectations set by society, family, or even their own past selves.
Key Takeaways:
• Identity Drives Everything – Your decisions, actions, and relationships stem from how you see yourself.
• The Danger of Rigid Identity – Locking yourself into a single role can be limiting and ultimately lead to burnout or crisis.
• Reinventing Your Passion – Growth happens when you allow your identity to shift and evolve with new seasons of life.
• The Power of ‘I AM’ Statements – Your words shape your reality; be intentional about what follows “I AM.”
• Asking the Right Questions – Every 90 days, ask yourself: Who am I becoming? What do I truly want?
Don’t let outdated beliefs and societal expectations define your path. Take ownership of your identity and redefine what success and fulfillment mean to you.

“Your identity is not what you do; it’s who you are at the core. If your career vanished tomorrow, who would you be?” - Dr. Jeff Buske
