As a kid, I saw that sort of structural pressure just push onto my family and it was interesting seeing the difference between how they used to fight all the time when I was little. It made me want to know why some people have less and others have more. And that really kind of took me on a journey into activism and into understanding economics. That's actually what I ended up majoring in when I went to college.
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.
