Millennials were born into the "hockey stick" moment — the rapid acceleration of two exponential curves: the democratization of learning and the unraveling of global systems.
Growing up, I watched the world shift beneath my feet. My parents needed capital, credentials, and connections to start anything. Today, with a smartphone and YouTube, anyone can learn almost any skill and launch a business.
Alongside this explosion of opportunity came overwhelming crisis. Education, healthcare, finance — nearly every system is in turmoil. Everything feels like it’s on fire.
Strangely, both phenomena — boundless possibility and ubiquitous crisis — lead to the same emotional paralysis: Where do I even begin?
I want to contribute. I want to master something. But in a world full of infinite choices and urgent problems, how do I find my path?
In this episode, we explore purpose as a compass — and how developing emotional intelligence can help us move from stuckness to clarity, and from overwhelm to aligned action.
