With so many high schoolers approaching graduation in the coming weeks and my birthday just around the corner, I want to reflect on the advice I’d give my younger self after a decade of adulting. Afterwards, Eric joins me to talk about what we wished we’d known when we were younger.
We also answer a question all about finding confidence as an entrepreneur and navigating social situations, asked by a listener who is in high school right now!

Want to put some of our advice into practice?
For navigating social situations –
Try writing in a journal about a social situation that you’re holding onto but is no longer serving you. Write out how it’s impacted your life, why you’re holding onto it, and how you’re going to release it. Go deep, and then go a little bit deeper.
For being a young entrepreneur –
What is the thing that people keep telling you that you’re really good at? What do people come to you and ask advice about? Now how can you take that skill or quality and build a service, platform, or product on it? What people will you need to help you accomplish that, for support or expertise?
