If you had to give advice to a group of students about life and career – without a script – what would you say? Join us as we unpack a spontaneous talk given to postgrad PR students and explore the bigger questions: What makes you, you? How do you bring that into your career? And why do so many of us chase external success before understanding ourselves?

There’s a powerful truth that often gets lost in our hustle: you are your greatest asset. Unlike external investments — stocks, property, or career titles — your value as a person stems from your mind, your values, your resilience, and your ongoing growth. When you begin to treat yourself as your most important resource, everything shifts: how you make decisions, where you invest your time, and how you measure success.

From the power of self-reflection to Keith Cunningham’s game-changing P = G + C formula, we discuss why figuring out who you are is the key to doing meaningful work. Plus, how many people would stay in their chosen careers if money weren’t a factor?

Episode Highlights:

  • Why self-awareness matters more than skills.
  • A powerful thought experiment: What if money wasn’t an issue?
  • Passion = Growth + Contribution – Keith Cunningham’s life-changing formula.
  • How changing paths can help you find purpose.
