• You're at a new job and they've already pegged you as the "quiet" one. But what do they really mean?
• How do you find a tribe of like-minded, growth-oriented people who don't seem like they're part of some motivational cult?
• After so many "we should hang outs" without follow-ups, should you just accept that a best friend isn't in the cards for you at this point?
• With a full-time job, supportive girlfriend, and research papers taking up most of your time, how and where can you find opportunities to grow your skill set?
• You're young, successful, and ready for a relationship -- but you can't seem to find anyone whose drive goes beyond Netflix and work. Where should you be looking?
• You're good at chatting when given interesting subjects to talk about, but have no skills in coming up with those subjects. How do you create meaningful conversations from scratch?
• You've got a great job and a comfortable lifestyle, but you regret never finishing college or following your intended career path. Are you a fool to go back to school?
• Even though you know the entrepreneurial life is right for you, how do you politely convey to your well-meaning but kind of clueless friends that you're not looking for another corporate job?
• Recommendation of the Week: Strong Ending -- A Journey from Combat to Comedy
