The FUTUR3 Podcast

We’re Shaan, Shailin, and Saiyan - three brothers in high school who, like most teens, don’t have it all figured out yet. Instead of guessing our way through what comes next, we started a podcast to learn directly from people with real-world experience. We interview professionals across a wide range of careers to get honest, no-fluff insight into college, work life, and the paths that got them there. Our goal is to help high school students feel more informed, confident, and inspired about their future.
