Caller ID
Caller ID is a conversation-driven podcast exploring calling, career, and identity through real stories and honest dialogue.
Hosted by Brandon Davis Wells, who has served in many roles from career coach, to college baseball coach, to broadcast professional for major networks like ESPN, IheartMedia, and more. Each episode features thoughtful conversations with professionals, creatives, leaders, and everyday people wrestling with the same questions we all face:
Who am I called to be?
What work fits who I’m becoming?
How do faith, values, and purpose shape the way we work?
This isn’t a podcast about quick career hacks or hustle culture. It’s about work that forms us, choices that matter, and finding meaning in the long, often winding path of vocation. Whether you’re a student, early-career professional, parent, or someone navigating change, Caller ID offers clarity, perspective, and encouragement for the work ahead.

The Doctor Is In!
In this episode of Caller ID, we sit down with Dr. Jacob Sands, one of the world’s leading oncologists and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. But before all of that, there was a moment when he walked away.
Dr. Sands shares how dropping out of Ohio University and traveling to Costa Rica on a whim, seeking clarity, learning from a shaman, and sitting with uncertainty, became a turning point that reshaped his sense of identity and purpose. We explore how unconventional choices, risk, and self trust ultimately guided him back to medicine with a deeper commitment to service, presence, and meaning.
This is a conversation about listening to your inner voice, figuring out who you are beneath expectations, and how that self knowledge quietly impacts everything, from career decisions to relationships to the life you build.
