    Entering 2023, we are now in an age of Open AI paired with crippling student loan debt crisis, yet somehow society keeps telling us a college degree is what will get you paid in the market.

This episode is for those who wants to make a pivot in their life, break your own personal beliefs about school and what you can do, and/or if you're stuck not sure what the next steps are. Take massive action folks. We are here for it!
