Today's guest is Rachel Wong. She's a clinical dietitian in The Bay Area by day and by night, she runs her own business where she works with clients 1-on-1 to help them overcome their unhealthy relationships with food.

The opportunities for young adults to succeed and find happiness in today’s world are endless, more so than in any generation prior. So if it’s never been this easy, then why are our 20s so hard?

Hey, I’m Troy Farkas. I’m a podcast producer, writer, and coffee-lover. Every Wednesday, I’ll talk to leading members of this new era, an era I’m calling the “Found Generation,” about all of the things that young people are trying to navigate in a post-pandemic world. We’ll talk about subjects like mental and physical health, social media, the fight for equality, cryptocurrency, ascending the corporate ladder, work/life balance, dating, and so much more.

So if you’re feeling confused as you wade through early adulthood, or if you’re a parent who is trying to understand what your kids are experiencing, then check out the info below to join me on the journey to getting just a little better, smarter, and happier every day.

Follow the show here on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe to my YouTube channel to get all the latest information from members of The Found Generation.

In the series finale of The Troy Farkas Show, I replay 10 of the most impactful moments from the show that's meant so much to me since I started it in September 2020. 

These 10 moments are just highlights of much longer conversations that you can go back and listen to at any time.

I hope you get as much value from these people as I have:

I'm eternally grateful to everyone who has listened to this show, read my blogs, watched my videos, and sent me messages. It means more to me than you could ever know.

But this isn't the end.

We're only getting started.

I'll see y'all next week.

P.S. In this episode I say there's nine lessons. Truth be told, I miscounted and didn't realize I had gathered 10 lessons until the very last minute.
