Look... you were likely once told that your life would begin in secondary / high school, or college. That your development as a person was dependent on pursuing these academic paths set before you. I am here to encourage you to rewrite that narrative, and take your growth and passion into your own hands. Where do YOU want to go?
Matias Sørevik is a passionate Norwegian leadership coach. Matias helps guide young adults who have dropped out of school (a whopping 30% of young adults leave school prematurely, without qualifications in Norway) to find their passions and pursue their future confidently. These young people feel overwhelmed and like their options are limited; Matias is helping these people grow and disregard their perceived limitations. He is shaping the future generations of Norway, and we can learn so much from him.
Rewrite your narrative.

Bonus episodes are the best. I couldn't hold this one in, so you get it early!
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the future, and it is our current reality in a lot of different mediums. AI will continue to develop and it is said it will replace many jobs humans do today. The reality is daunting and you might be feeling very overwhelmed by even thinking of digesting what this all means for humanity. Ayush is here to encourage you to move past the overwhelm and embrace what AI could mean (and likely does mean) for your future.
Just because you're not qualified doesn't mean that you are not able.

Cancer is a lifechanging experience - it does not discriminate and can impact anyone from any walk of life. However, it does not deserve to stop your life. Sure, it can and probably will slow your progress in life, but it has no say in your accomplishments and what you are capable of.
Also, whether or not you studied science, you can create your own scientific business.
These two facts are what we discuss today with Jeff Bevin, childhood cancer survivor and beard-care brand owner. He also has ADHD and has a superhuman child as well. He doesn't let anyone but himself define him or determine the heights he can reach, and neither should you.
You are superhuman - don't let anyone tell you differently.

People will tell you you are not capable of doing something, even though it is none of their business and even when you are in fact very capable (you absolutely are).
People with physical disabalities are often, falsely, believed to be not as capable as those people without physical disabilities. Ray McAllister PhD is completely blind, but he lives a life of independence and fulfillment. The thing is, this shouldn't be surprising to people, but to many people it is surprising. Ray wrote a book, Wingless, to show the world what it is like to be differently abled than other people. Ray wants to do things that are hard and thrives in learning environments.
Go do that thing, even if you are physically disabled.

The future of the world is uncertain. The young adults of today have A LOT riding on them; not only are they dealing with the tribulations of growing up, as we all did, they are dealing with growing up in a world where navigating the future is not as clear as it used to be. Though, not to be a pessimist -- there is a lot of beauty ahead, as well as serious potential. Eddie Mazariegos is a startup founder and brother of a member of Gen Z. Eddie is on a mission to help others like his brother discover who they are and how they want to contribute to the world. He had to pave this path forward while being pushed in other directions, and he wants to share his story with us all.
Get inspired - and go start that company.

There are barriers to entry for many people who are labeled "different" - that is, not your white straight neurotypical male (it is not a lie). Neurodivergent people are not an exception to this. Autistic, people with ADD, ADHD, Anxiety... etc. do not have the same opportunities presented to them to grow their career. Mentra, and Shea Belsky, are on a mission to change this reality.
You are qualified to have that job you want, even as a neurodivergent person. There is a seat at the table for you.

CALLING ALL WOMEN: Do you think you are paid enough in your current role? Be honest...
It's no, isn't it. It is probably a no. Do you want to make $30K MORE?! Yes, of course you do. This is the episode for you.
Mia Smithson is the Founder and CEO of The 30K Program, a coaching business dedicated to leveling up women in the workforce, landing them $30K more than they were paid in their last role. Women learn to negotiate, package their skills, and how to advocate for themselves. Most importantly, they are encouraged to believe they are worthy of the money. So often, women feel they are not qualified to go after higher paying jobs or jobs that seem way out of their skill set. This belief is valid, based on the societies millions of women live in, but it is not reality. Mia is here to show you the truth and encourage you to go for everything you dream of. Get uncomfortable.
