When you say "I’m a …” and treat it as fixed, you quietly close doors you don’t even see anymore.

In this clip from LOOPs Episode 3, we unpack why rigid identity labels become dangerous in the age of AI, especially as roles, tools, and industries keep shifting. The risk isn’t learning the wrong skills. It’s over-identifying with a role that no longer reflects how the world actually works.

When identity becomes too narrow:
curiosity shrinks
adaptability drops
opportunity disappears

The goal isn’t to abandon identity, it’s to build one that stays coherent but flexible. That’s how you keep learning speed high without losing yourself in the process.
