And weeeee're back with part 2 with Tenzin!
We continue our conversation with Tenzin, starting from when he decided to leave nursing, sparking a series of changes that involves sword-fighting in the woods, dropping out of grad school and even...chandeliers.
In this episode, we break apart the idea that one has to have a single career, and explore what it could mean to develop an entirely new expertise every decade.
Plus, Abbie wonders if she'll ever be as wise as Oprah, and Timmy takes a visit to a town Abbie would rather not see.
If you haven't already listened to part 1, be sure to do that first and then come on back to this one -
We know we're not the only ones in the middle of a career pivot. Who better to chat with us on the subject than Tenzin?
We’ve each known great and maybe not so-great influences on our life when we were kids. In Tenzin’s case, it was a guidance counselor who discouraged him from becoming an artist, ultimately leading him to be a nurse working in the ICU during the worst of COVID. What happens next?? You'll have to listen to find out.
In this two-part series, we explore how it's totally ok - and ultimately freeing, to jump ship and try out new careers. Plus, Abbie considers a life in outer space, and Tim comes out as an American black bear.
We love Tenzin, and we know you will too!
Can we save democracy in the United States? What if we focus on the local and bring people together to engage online in meaningful ways? Well, Johnathan thinks it’s possible, and that’s why he started MyBalbo.
Many of us want to stay politically active, but our reach seems limited - how do we go one step further to use technology & have conversations across divides and become substantively connected to affecting policy that affects us.
Meet Johnathan Celestin, founder of MyBalbo, an app that provides real community around American politics and offers users a chance to talk about the hard issues, engage with their representatives, and find ways to make a difference.
In this episode, hear Johnathan’s journey of how he started MyBalbo with his siblings, how he navigates the systemic hurdles to starting a company as a person of color, what it’s like running a company with family members, and how he is already helping Americans can engage meaningfully with politics.
Also listen to hear nice compliments from Johnathan’s mom and Abigail & Tim audition to become ASMR influencers.

Where do you imagine yourself in 4 years - owner of an arts space, an astrobiologist, or a ghost suspiciously similar to the ghost from Hamlet that forever haunts the world after being assassinated by an alien spacecraft?
Tune in this week for a special episode that features 2033 Podcast host Abigail as she explores her own inevitable career pivot. When you've had a specific dream your whole life, and suddenly it needs to change - what then?
Join us as we bushwhack through the existential thicket as we explore what it’s like knowing that a change is needed in one’s career but unsure of the next steps to go. Ft. an improvised musical number about Abigail being assassinated by aliens as she enjoys her breakfast.
What if you are doesn't fall neatly into any box? Part of what makes Timon an incredible person and therapist is he holds so many aspects of his identity that society too often does not see as going together, namely being queer and Christian. Timon walks through his process of going through social work school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist, his unorthodox journey to getting there that provides him unique relationships and, perspective, and what he hopes to accomplish in helping others navigate their own dialectical tensions and identities that on the surface might seem at odds. This is a great episode for anyone interested in mental health. Plus, Tim wonders if anyone enjoys his version of small talk and Abbie lobbies for a new bread-themed nickname.
Did you know a youth orchestra could change the future of an entire city? Daniela certainly could tell you a thing or two about that. She's no stranger to the idea that younger generations face a hard fact: our careers will generally not be as linear as those of our parents and grandparents. How do we still shoot for success and allow for change?
In this episode, hear Danielle Ocampo Sánchez’s fascinating story on her ever-evolving definition of success, finally reuniting her passion for music by helping manage Amadeus, an organization that gives young people access to music education in her hometown of Medellin, Colombia and beyond. Plus, Abigail evaluates Tim's abilities to transition between subjects, and Tim provides us with a unique serenade.

With all the bad news in our inboxes, in our feeds, and in our lives, is there really any reason still to have hope that positive change can happen? During our second Generation gathering, an amazing array of inspiring guests sat down to discuss this very question.
Hear a wide range of practical ways these individuals have found ways to give back to their communities, rediscover dreams, create political change they wish to see, and find personal ways to light up their days. The answer? Find hope in the little things, however you can. Also tune in to hear Tim realizing his elevator career pitch may need some tweaking and to Abigail slowly morphing into Gollum.

Dean is a fighter - in all senses of the word. He fights Muay Thai, he fights MMA and, he fights FOR victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam. On a solo trip, Dean learned about Agent Orange, a chemical herbicide used by US troops in the Vietnam War that has caused millions of cases of illnesses, including birth defects, over multiple generations. Upon meeting Agent Orange victims, Dean was inspired to found An Phuc International, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting these victims. On today's episode, Dean candidly discusses the successes and challenging moments in his journey, encouraged by connections on the ground in Vietnam but often discouraged by fundraising and nonprofit management. This episode exemplifies our podcast’s mission: honesty about the struggle of change-making while maintaining hope to keep moving forward. Also hear about Abigail’s international hat-collecting , and Tim's amazingly smooth transitions.
When you think about the current climate crisis, do you feel like curling up in utter despair? You're not alone. That's why we were so excited to sit down with Rivka Schafer, a Gen Z climate activist with a message of hope and action that's grounded in so much practicality. Rivka is a queer, gender non-conforming Orthodox Jew who is passionate about art, nature, and activism. As a climate activist with the Jewish Youth Climate Movement and LGBTQ+ rights advocate, Rivka definitely inspired us, and we know you'll walk away from this episode with renewed energy for climate activism (see what we did there?). Plus, learn the correct pronunciation of "Abbie," and hear both Abbie & Tim be bullied for how old they are.
We are excited to share our first live recording featuring 9 members of the 2033 community - recorded at our Generation retreat. We all know what it’s like when a good idea of ours gets squashed by someone else - usually someone older and with more influence. After continual frustration, how do we - as young people - fight against the very real feeling of being jaded. Gathered around a small couch in Vermont, hear change-makers talk about how - whether in the arts, education, or sciences - Millennials and Gen Z can still continue to move forward by making what can be a radical choice: to hope. Show notes: If you hear us references Jai's talk, he led a workshop about privacy and technology. The books we reference are The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell & Be Water My Friend by Shannon Emery Lee Keasler. The writer we forget is Walt Whitman, and the full sentence we are trying to remember is: Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one. Participants: Vance Lovett, Elena Cothalis, Jai Kumar, Ashley Melgar, Charlie Malcolm, Miranda Aisling, El Chen, and your hosts - Abigail & Tim Steckler.
