NEW EPISODE of OTL at Night!

Kelvin gives Mason and Ejiro random hypotheticals that turn into a way too deep conversation about the purpose of life, risk-aversion, and pursuing your dreams.

It ain't deep until it is...

Thank you for listening!

Today’s guest is John Hollway, a Professor at Penn Carey Law School and a Positive Psychology Expert.

When we are in college or early into our 20s, many of us struggle with our identity. We’ve spent our entire lives “LinkedIn chasing,” trying to accumulate the best titles, jobs, and accolades. At some point, we all have a realization that we are living an unfulfilling life because we’ve been chasing another person’s definition of success.

This interview will redefine what it means to live a fulfilling life, and provide you with systems to help you get there. Professor Hollway shares insight into why so many human beings fall into this trap, and explains the science behind how we can fix it.
