The Knowledge Gap

How to Find Your Passion — with Diego Carmona & Milana Rosado

What if you don’t know what your passion is yet?

In the first episode of The Knowledge Gap, Diego Carmona and Milana Rosado talk about the pressure to “find your passion” and why it’s okay not to have everything figured out. They explore how trying new things, following your curiosity, and learning from your experiences can help you discover what you actually enjoy.

Whether you already know what you want to do or you’re completely lost, this episode is a reminder that passion isn’t always something you find—it can be something you build along the way.

Tune in and start closing the gap between curiosity and opportunity.

In this episode, we sit down with Emma to explore her journey into scientific research. Growing up in a small town, Emma never imagined that her curiosity would one day lead her to present her work at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), one of the largest science competitions in the world. Join us as she shares how she got started, overcame challenges, found mentorship, and developed a research project that made an impact. Whether you're interested in science, research, or pursuing big dreams from a small community, Emma's story offers valuable advice and inspiration for students everywhere.
