What I would say is... Most importantly, don't be afraid of taking the wrong step. That's the thing I see most frequently in young people today. They get analysis paralysis and they look at the world and they're trying to plot their career out 10 moves ahead. And I will tell you that used to work. There used to be a framework where you could say, okay, I'm going to go to this college.

I'm going to get this degree. I'm going to go to law school. I'm going to work at this firm. I'm going to achieve this. And if I just hit these milestones, I know what my life will be like. We live in an age of chaos and upheaval that is not anything familiar to any of us that are younger than 50 or 60 years old.

In these times, you can't plot your course, and so you shouldn't be afraid of making a wrong move. You should follow your instinct, follow what feels right, and constantly be adjusting and recalculating for the things that are important to you in life and not the things that you think should be important to you or you're told are important to you.

Because there might be moments in time where you feel like you made the wrong decision. You're at the wrong job. You took the wrong choice. But ultimately, a door might open as a result of that leads you to a place where you are very happy that wouldn't have opened if you hadn't made that quote unquote wrong choice. So keep moving forward.

Don't let yourself be afraid of decisions and just push the envelope and keep recalibrating as you advance through your career.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. I would just say I think it's the important work you're doing here. People, too many of the podcasts that I listen to are about how to hack your way to success, are about practical advice on how to build a certain type of business, how to buy real estate.

where it's all about tactical advice that you might pay for or take a course on or something like that. And of course, I'm generalizing, but I guess my point is it's refreshing to have a microphone to a topic that is more about how to guide people's lives through change. And for people listening who are experiencing a lot of change in their lives, tactical advice is doesn't really help.

Hearing just holistically and qualitatively about the human experience in times of change, I think is a really reassuring thing. So I just want to applaud the work you did, Vince.
