Today’s episode is a talk I gave at Newtown High School — and honestly, the themes apply to anyone at any stage of life. We get into the real stuff: self-awareness, dealing with pressure, making decisions for yourself, and tuning out opinions that don’t matter.

Whether you're 18, 28, or 48 — this is about getting clear on who you are and where you're going, without letting the noise steer the ship. I answer real questions from the audience and go deep on things like building confidence, starting from zero, and the long-term mindset that leads to actual fulfillment — not just quick wins.

We talk about:

🧠 How to build confidence from the inside out
🧭 Making decisions without chasing outside validation
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Handling pressure from family or society
💡 Why self-awareness is the real unlock
💵 Starting businesses with no money
🔁 The power of changing your mind
📱 Social media, mental health, and not getting caught in the trap
⏳ Why you’ve got more time than you think

This is one of those timeless convos — real questions, real answers, and real energy. If you're in the middle of figuring things out... you’ll want to hear this one.
