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.

Dr. Rob Pool wears many hats, Vice President of Student Affairs and Auxiliary Services at Ashland University, faith-driven leader, mentor, husband, and lifelong drummer. But in this episode of Caller ID, we strip away titles, roles, and résumés to get to the real question: Who are you when the labels are gone?
Rob and I go way back — from playing in bands together to walking through leadership, faith, and life’s hardest seasons side by side. In this conversation, we dive into identity, trust, calling, and what it means to stay grounded when your job, influence, and responsibilities keep growing.
This episode is about:
- Why your identity cannot be your job
- Learning to trust when outcomes feel uncertain
- Leading with humility, not ego
- Faith, doubt, obedience, and surrender
- And how music has remained a grounding force through every season
If you’ve ever wrestled with purpose, burnout, ambition, or the pressure to perform — this one will hit home.
