About this listen

In this episode, Ted and Patrick answer listener questions about careers, dating, and meaning. They dive into the frustration of being stuck in a 9-5 with no clear path forward, the emotional toll of job rejections despite having degrees, and the disconnect between achievement and fulfilment. They also unpack one of the biggest unspoken fears: how to actually approach women — not just with confidence, but with intention.
