How to Figure Out Your Life After Gradua...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

I genuinely believe that the world is giving the “wrong” information to 20-somethings. This is not the time to go “safe” and “practical.” This is the time to be massively risk oriented. It’s time to go live in Bali for a year, or try to become Beyonce, or live with 8 roommates in a studio apartment hustling towards your passion. I have empathy for things like student debt … but this is the time to make the high risk moves around the things that’ll make you the happiest, even if you have to work more (or take a night shift job while you focus on your passion during the day). My advice for college grads who are trying to figure it out: Either work for someone who you want to become, or go all in on your own craft.
