Everything you were told you'd grow up into doesn't exist anymore.

AI is coming for your career. Rent doesn't math. You can't go to Thanksgiving anymore. And underneath all of it, there's this feeling you might not even say out loud... that you don't know how to build a life from here.

You're not broken. You're paying attention.

Every time a generation has felt this, the same thing has happened next. And nobody's told you about it yet.

In this episode, I break down why the collapse you're feeling isn't the end of anything, it's the start of the most wide-open opportunity window your generation will ever get. We get into the Napoleon story (yes, really), why the people who are about to win aren't who you think, and the one thing the new game rewards that the old game never did.

You are not too late. You are so, so early.

If you're 18-26 and you've been feeling like something is fundamentally wrong, this one is for you. Send it to a homie you want to be ahead of the game with.

If you need the episode for when shit actually hits the fan and the anxiety is taking over, go check out Episode 4: Ambition is Hard. I recorded it sitting on a toilet in front of the ocean during one of the worst days I've had building this thing. It's the other side of this conversation.
