We’ll explore how the internet, social media, and the creator economy are changing success, making it achievable for anyone with the drive and vision to go after it. From self-made influencers to entrepreneurs who build empires from their bedrooms, today’s generation sees limitless potential and fewer boundaries between “ordinary” and “extraordinary.” Join as I unpack how this new reality is shaping the mindset of today’s youth, why overthinking and analysis paralysis are being replaced by bold moves, and what it all means for the future of work, fame, and ambition.
