“How can I feel more confident?”
“How do I land an internship/job?”
“What are the keys to charisma?”
“How can I be more productive”
These are the kind of questions I ask myself everyday — but I feel like no one wants to actually talk about them.
Whether for fear of being judged or lack of people to talk to, I’ve found very few people talk about these types of questions.
So, every week I do just that. I sit down with guests ranging from college students to industry experts, and ask away.
If you’ve ever wished to hear real and honest conversations about personal, social, and professional growth - this is the show for you.
