What should I do with my life? That's a hard question. This podcast is trying to make it easier to figure out the answer to that question by sharing the stories of people from many different careers. We explore the questions of how they eventually decided to pursue the career that they did, what they would have done differently in college, and any advice that they might have for those who are still trying to figure out what to do.

Brian Zeng is currently an engineer at Stripe. He recently graduated from Columbia, where he grappled a lot with the question of what to do with his life. You can reach him at bzeng@stripe.com.

And a special thanks to Jasmine Stoy for the cover art!
