When I was in like nineteen, I took a random international political economy elective where in that course you had to make a podcast. voice-verified

That was an assignment, make a podcast about a political event. voice-verified

Had I not done that, a year or t like no, two years later, I wouldn't have known voice-verified

how to do any editing or recording or scripting that allowed me to voice-verified

do what I'm doing now. voice-verified

I don't even remember what that first podcast was about, but voice-verified

It like serendipitously set me up. voice-verified

for the career that I that I now have. voice-verified

And that's that's insane to me sometimes to think about it. voice-verified

Another example is a random person I met at a party when I was eighteen was a big reason why I moved to London seven years later. voice-verified

And if I hadn't met that person voice-verified

Would I have made that move? voice-verified

Maybe not, probably not, to be honest. voice-verified

One more example here, because I really do believe in the power of serendipity. voice-verified

I had this discussion with somebody months ago. voice-verified

about how we need to make research more accessible. voice-verified

And she was we were talking about it. voice-verified

That became like my study of the week series. voice-verified

It's like huge on on Substack. voice-verified

Even like I changed my major to psychology at the last minute. voice-verified
