Burning Hot and Fast at 22 / Untangling Your Career (Season 3, Episode 5)

"People are really looking for reasons to say no, Mohnish. That's the thing." - Ted Gonder Mohnish has done well for himself. Thanks to his mother's credit card, he hasn't managed to die of starvation. He's worked with interesting authors, fast-paced startups, and - most importantly - he has a girlfriend. But if he stops there - he's screwed. As of January 1st, 2017, he doesn't have a job. He's a full-time student - so he doesn't need one. But in 6 months, that'll change. And when you're 22, and time is running out - how do you answer the hardest question: what do I do with the rest of my life? More to the point: is that even the right question to ask? On this episode, special guests Josh Indig (AI research and serial entrepreneur) and Ted Gonder (Moneythink, Obama's Advisory Council) share their insights to wrestle, untangle, and reframe why careers (as well as their own) are just so incredibly tricky. On this episode, we cover: - If you're 22 and have no skills, what should you do? - How badly will Ted roast Mohnish on the phone? - Instead of asking "what should I do with my life?", what should you do instead? - Will Josh start an AI overthrow and doom humanity? (Short answer: No) And more, all on this episode. P.S.
