Hey guys, 

Today we’re joined by one of UCL’s Biggest Names On Campus (BNOCs) and one of the coolest mechanical engineers in the game. It is a pleasure & privilege to introduce you to .... Mr HD!!

Today, we really enter the world of deep chats and de-construct the notion of 'selfishness' and 'maturity.' 

Indeed, for me, I would say maturity is one of the most misused concepts we use in our society especially amongst GenZ culture. In fact, alot of the time, I've found it's used as a cop out. It is used as a way of refusing to enter a difficult conversation. 'Immature' is seen as the magic word to 'effectively' shut the chance of a conversation down with the inaccurate claim that the other party is not mentally able to engage in such discussion, something very cowardly. 

HD and I dive head first into this and discuss the differences between maturity and immaturity and give our own personal encounters with these behaviours. We also recognise and appreciate how vital it is to actively seek to understand different perspectives especially those contrasting your own in order to be mature towards a situation. 

We also talk about selfishness, what it is exactly and when, how and why is it acceptable. As you will hear, HD shocks me at first, when he says there is “absolutely nothing wrong with being selfish." However, as HD explains I appreciate what he means but together we also stress the importance of always being mindful and careful of others during one's decision making. 

We diverge a bit about the incredible opportunities and possibilities here at UCL and how remarkable the students are carrying out projects which will truly blow your mind! Speaking of blowing your mind, we learn, at the end, that our very own HD is not just your typical mechanical engineer. Nope. Man is in fact a UCL KPOP ICON !! 

Hope you're enjoying the conversation as much as we are. 

See you in Part 2 ... :))
