The Thoughtful Millennial Halima Lone and John Choque

In this episode we implore why we have or haven't moved away in pursuit of education, work or just pure escapism. On the way we have understood that we shouldn't always chase the adventure of starting in a foreign place just because of the way is presented on media and actually how it done for the right reasons, international experience teaches open mindedness and respect for others.

In this episode we discuss the implications of this often used expression to just do something without permission and asking dealing with the consequences afterwards. This approach is critical for survival and gaining momentum and is often seen in startups but it should evolve organically as an organisation grows and its less about doing something and more about doing the right thing.

In this episode we discuss how society has conditioned us to identify ourselves by our work (profession or educational background). We come up with ways to challenge those biases by recognising our scope of influence and where external factors influence the outcome, and remembering that we can assess the assessors too. If the work doesn't meet the desired outcome, doesn't mean we can't be satisfied by our contributions. So time to take credit where credit is due.

In this episode we try to understand why perspectives on mental health have changed from generation to generation. As awareness and understanding of mental health illnesses continue to grow, we ask "does our generation have a increasing influence on getting mental health in the agenda?"

In this episode we bond over how we try to avoid "killing time" as much as possible but instead reframe this concept into something we feel less guilty about. If we add the dimension of purpose or rest, then we succeed in making every moment count.

In this episode we explore the topic of empathy, can it emotional intelligence be taught or is it something we are born with?  It is a well known truth that empathy is one of the key components to building meaningful relationships with others, but in our quest to becoming more empathetic humans we need to be aware of the fact we will never fully understand another person - and that's OK.
