Episode 1: You Are Not Your Layoff

Rich Zapata introduces Fear, Faith, and the Forest — what it is, who it's for, and what to expect. He shares his nine-month unemployment story, from the 10-minute Zoom call that ended seven years at his company through hundreds of applications and rejections that tested everything he believed about himself. He talks about the moment his faith came back into focus, why this podcast is built on three pillars, and wraps up with three action steps to help you get through today.
