In The Twenties Show podcast, I'll share my learnings that came not only from my failures but also by observing the failures of other people.

Like you should get an MBA to succeed, you should get married by a certain age, you should score this grade, you should have a partner and you know the list. Instead, this will be about challenging and questioning them so we can find our own truth. It's not about choosing our lives to unfold in a certain way that's safe and boring but rather a life filled with challenges, ups and downs, and full of rich experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the20sshow/message
