    Matti: "Embracing the chaos"

    An incredibly candid conversation with the friend who inspired this entire podcast: Matti. When I first met him a year ago, he was on the "right track" to reach what he thought was success: attending an Ivy League institution, finishing top of his class, working at one of the world's biggest companies, and starting a Ph.D. at another top academic university. And yet, this was not the right track for him. Join us for an honest conversation and listen to Matti talk about some of his darkest periods, drastic changes in his life, and creating his own path.

    Melinda: "At the end it's a bunch of humans trying to make something"

    Melinda and I recently spent an entire night on her couch talking about her transition from working as an engineer at Ferrari in Italy, to getting a job as a product designer at Apple and moving to the Bay Area, and a lot more. Join us for a conversation about leaving one life in Italy and building another on the other side of the world, what it's like to work for 2 of the most famous companies in the world, coping with anxiety, and "winning at life".

    Alex: "I think I deserve to be here but I don't feel it, oftentimes"

    Alex is a Ph.D. candidate in chemical engineering at Stanford University. He is also the first person I ever met who openly talks about having ADHD (Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder). In this episode, he shares details about his experience, life at Stanford, and his journey toward finding a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that brings him joy.

    Lisa: "We can do it BECAUSE we're flawed"

    Lisa is the director of communications and training at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I met her in one of the classes of the master's program we were both enrolled in, and I was immediately fascinated by her intelligence, kindness, and impressive career. In this episode, we talk about her professional journey, dealing with imposter syndrome, coming to terms with her age, and the importance of being flawed.
