"I feel like we have been dropped into this sea of pain, of isolation and dehumanization," she says. "It's a struggle to have people who, you know, that there are people who exist in the world who don't like you because of different facets of your identity." She adds: "If you were to attach yourself and stick to that part of your identity, you would actually be limiting your own flourishing"
Why is it that, so often, we need to be brought to our knees in order to wake up to, and reclaim, what really matters? And, does that have to be so? These are just a few of the questions we dive into with my guest today, Diego Perez, best known for his virtual moniker, Yung Pueblo, which is both a reminder to him to stay grounded in a younger, growth mindset, and also a contained to frame this current season of work as a project that doesn’t constrain his own personal and professional growth. Diego’s new book, Clarity & Connection, shares many of his recent insights about life, meaning, love, work, self-awareness, and of course, clarity and connection.
