#005 - Perspective Shift: Pandemic, Growing Older, and Stakeholder Capitalism

The pandemic was a challenging transition that caused many to reassess their priorities in our fleeting lives. A few years vanished instantly, and that time is irreplaceable. We simply aged and moved forward. Aging comes with its own challenges, including personal change and witnessing friends take on life's responsibilities. As we grow older, we gain a better understanding of society and strive to contribute positively to leave the world a better place. In this episode, I chat with my friend Naish who I’ve known from middle school. We chat about how the pandemic shifted his perspective on spending time with friends, the complexities of navigating life as we grow older, and the contentious issue of whether stakeholder capitalism is truly beneficial for society.
