S2E1 - Paychecks, Cars, Apartments...

The one about the myth of independence.

Being in your 20s is not exactly a walk in the park. You are not where you want to be, but you are also not quite sure where you want to go. At least for the majority.

It is the feeling of being stuck in between growing and grown, uncertain if you are still a kid or an adult yet. It is the gap between your “dream job” and where you have to show up again tomorrow.

On this episode, Wolé and Tobi talk about what independence means to them, the milestones of independence, and common misconceptions about the whole thing.
