Pensive Paddy
If you are a bit like me, muddling through your 20s, wondering what it's all about, then this could be the podcast for you. Every week, I will interview people who are questioning the status quo by going down a less trodden path in the pursuit of purpose. Topics will include entrepreneurship, self-discovery, overcoming uncertainty, career exploration, and anything a bit whacky, purpose-related that I find interesting.
I've really enjoyed recording these conversations, and I believe they will provide insights and unique perspectives to you.
Disclaimer: there may be the odd rogue episode every now and then.
I hope you enjoy and hit that subscribe button.
