In this episode of Just Press Record, I've brought together two incredible minds who've never met before and an incredibly inspiring conversation ensued. Meet Dr. Hal Hershfield, the future self guru from UCLA, and Julia Carreon, a thought-leader in finance and technology. We dive deep into how we see what Hal's research calls our "future selves" and why it matters. Julia shares her journey of quitting a high-profile job to pursue a passion project, and then pivoting again. Hal breaks down the psychology behind these big life decisions, and we explore how generations from Boomers to Gen Z are reshaping the workplace. We tackle some heavy topics too, like the challenges women face in male-dominated fields and how to bridge the gap between generations in family businesses. But don't worry, we keep it light with some unexpected detours into pop culture (who knew a cartoon dog named Bluey could teach us so much about society?). Whether you're plotting your next career move, trying to understand your kids (or your parents), or just love a good conversation about human nature, this episode's got something for you. So grab a drink, press play, and let's get curious together!
