Finding Purpose, Approaching Women & The Happiness Trap | Ep. 25
In this episode, Ted and Patrick answer listener questions about careers, dating, and meaning.
They dive into the frustration of being stuck in a 9-5 with no clear path forward, the emotional toll of job rejections despite having degrees, and the disconnect between achievement and fulfilment.
They also unpack one of the biggest unspoken fears: how to actually approach women — not just with confidence, but with intention.
