I think in some ways, you know, that same route that was in me is in a lot of people. There was just this like underlying anxiety and sadness that I did not want to admit to myself. And for whatever reason, it just intensified in me in particular where I couldn't let go of the party because the party kept me away from my feelings. Because I couldn't embrace myself, it just led to this like snowballing of these patterns and they just became thicker and thicker over time.
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.
