What does it really mean to know yourself before making big life decisions? In this episode of Everything and Nothing, I sit down with Luki Danukarjanto a coach, speaker, and creator of the CareerBuddy app—to talk about what we call human skills (formerly known as "soft skills") and why they matter more than ever.

We talk about how identity is shaped, how cultural expectations influence the paths we choose, and why awareness and intention are essential for designing a life that feels right.

Luki shares his journey from introverted computer science student to human skills coach. It’s an honest, practical, and expansive conversation about the human side of life, work, and everything in between.

We cover:

• Identity, culture, and self-perception
• The roles of nature, nurture, and intentional choice
• How societal expectations can cloud clarity
• The danger of blindly “following your passion”
• Rewriting old stories and making decisions from awareness
• Why awareness is the foundation for designing a meaningful life

Whether you're at a crossroads, questioning your career, or simply craving real talk—this one's for you.

🎧 Listen now and join us in reflecting on what it means to live fully, consciously, and on your own terms.
