In this conversation, Abby shares her journey for applying and getting accepted into Harvard Law School, but more importantly, how it clarified her philosophy for achieving major life goals. She talks about how it's not about innate genius or luck, but rather emphasises the importance of breaking down goals into accessible, achievable steps.

Applications to US law schools are skyrocketing-- up more than 30% this year alone. But as more twenty-somethings turn to law school for clarity and stability, the question remains: is it really the right move?

In this episode, Abby sits down with Velen, who recently dropped out of Columbia Law School, and Joshua, who just left his pre-law firm job after wrestling with the decision to apply. Together, they explore ambition, uncertainty, and how to know whether law school is the right next step… or just the default one.

Tune in for an honest look at what it really means to choose your path with intention and stay for the advice on how to find your why before you take the leap.

This episode started the way many of my podcast ideas do, from a real conversation with a friend. Over dinner, she admitted she was utterly terrified about what AI might mean for our futures. Will it take our jobs? Will there even be a place for us in the workforce ten years from now?

These questions stuck with me. So I spoke to Magan, the brains behind 'GenZBestie' and the most tech-knowledgable young adult I know, to understand whether we should be afraid of AI, and how we can prepare for what’s ahead.

What does this all mean for us, the generation just entering adulthood and trying to build meaningful careers? In this episode, we unpack how AI is reshaping the job market for young adults, why fear might not be the right response, and how learning to work with AI might just be the key to thriving in the future of work.

The takeaway: Those who combine human creativity, emotional intelligence, and AI literacy will be best positioned to succeed in this new era.
