🅴🅿🅸🆂🅾🅳🅴 🆂🆄🅼🅼🅰🆁🆈

In this episode, Jay and Liam define the comparison trap, expose how it harms young people, and share proven strategies to avoid it.

Our unique format includes two segments. The first one is designed for teens and young twenty-somethings, and the second one has added content for parents and professionals who work with young people.

🆃🅷🅴 🅷🅾🆂🆃🆂

𝗝𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝘂𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗱

Since 2014, Jay has been empowering teens and twenty-somethings around the world to find their place in the world of work and reach their full potential. As a career guide, he helps young people identify a True Job Match so they can move forward with clarity and confidence. As an author and motivational speaker, he inspires and equips them to believe in themselves and overcome the forces that damage their identities and cause them to self-sabotage.

𝗟𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿

Liam is a next-gen (as the podcast likes to say) senior in high school who is currently navigating the twists and turns of finding a fit. Liam understands the struggles of career confusion and unhelpful advice given to the youth today. He teamed up with Jay to create the Life After 12 podcast as a tool to help his fellow peers. Here's a fun fact about him: he can speak Spanish and Italian besides his native English, and he plays three instruments.
