What Happens When Your Identity Disappears Overnight | Interstellar with Dr. Dakotah Tyler

Today’s episode features a truly powerful and layered conversation with Dr. Dakotah Tyler, an astrophysicist, professor, former Division I football player, and deeply curious human being. ‪@CuriosityTheoryPod‬ Before earning his PhD, Dakotah was a running back whose football career ended suddenly due to injury. What followed was a period of depression, identity loss, suicidality, and profound uncertainty. In this episode, he walks us through what it meant to lose the one future he thought defined him, and how curiosity ultimately became the thing that saved his life. We break down a pivotal scene from Interstellar to explore urgency, leadership, risk, and decision making under pressure. From there, the conversation expands to include athletics, masculinity, emotional regulation, burnout, and why so many former athletes struggle when their sport ends. Dakotah also introduces the idea of “signal versus noise” and how learning to separate the two can radically change how we understand our thoughts, emotions, and life choices. This episode is about reinvention, grief, science, curiosity, and the reminder that your life can have more than one purpose. Whether you are grieving a lost dream, starting over later than expected, or searching for meaning after burnout, this conversation is for you.
