The Importance of Being Open and Exploratory in Conversations

3min

The following is a conversation that will provoke and, perhaps, unsettle some of you. With my friend George Poulos, we explore the perils of anchoring your self-worth on personal achievements and how operating like this is ingrained in us from a young age. We also explore the deeper meaning of crisis and what it can teach you about life. Whether you agree with us or not, I promise this is gonna make you think.
