Through David's story, they explore the pressure to choose the \"right\" path, the fear of making the wrong decision, and how our identities can become tied to our education and careers.\n\nTogether, they reflect on the \"what ifs\" that so many people carry into adulthood, the weight of family and cultural expectations, and the realization that success rarely follows a straight line. Rather than offering simple answers, this conversation encourages listeners to see detours, setbacks, and changing directions not as failures, but as experiences that often lead to growth in ways they never expected."}
