Exploring identity with Torch led to fundamental questions: who are we beyond our roles, and how can we remain authentic across them?

Exploring identity with Torch
Frederik “Torch” Hahn has East Prussian and Haitian roots and grew up in Heidelberg. His reflection on identity is apparent not only in his background but also in songs such as Fremd im eigenen Land.
Many people define themselves through jobs and titles. Others use everyday roles such as mother, father or spouse. But does that describe who we really are? Is our identity fully defined by those roles? I do not think so.
How can we approach the question of who we are? What is our true identity? Can we be authentic across different roles?
I discussed these fundamental questions with Torch. Hear why he is an excellent person to discuss them with on Project Mindset.
Naturally, we recorded at Heidelberg Castle 🙂 Thank you to Martin Scharff for making that possible. The podcast images speak for themselves!
