It was over a year ago that I asked my mentors a question: “How do you think you should spend your 20’s?” Their answers blew me away.

A lot has changed since then… The COVID-19 pandemic has taken lives, disrupted plans, triggered a global recession, and united the world in a common battle. And on a personal note, today is my 25th birthday. I’m halfway through my 20’s. And I’ve been thinking about how I want to spend the second half.

I’ve realized the timing couldn’t be more perfect to share these conversations with you. I hope they offer some clarity and perspective in this strange and confusing time. They have for me.
