S2N3. Purpose and herbal tea

Hey! Our “yapping” series are continuing with a cozy episode about finding purpose and not losing yourself in it. Accompanied by some soothing herbal tea. We discuss how different people: our family members, friends, or chess-super-players try to find their callings and pursue a meaningful path. What does one do to find their passion? What if it doesn’t work out? How to stay intact with yourself? Those are the questions we raise and diligently try to find an answer to. To the best of our knowledge and in the chillest manner possible.
