One of the most common questions we get on the podcast is: How do I figure out who I am and what I want?
The truth is, there’s no single moment of arrival, no magical point where everything suddenly makes sense. Both you and the world are constantly changing, which means the path will always be evolving, too.
In this episode, David Epstein and I discuss how most people find fulfillment not by following a perfect plan but by learning through experience, adjusting course, and staying open to who they’re becoming.
