What I'd Tell My 25-Year-Old Self About the Grind | Pillay Place Podcast EP 20

from Pillay Place · host Van

What would you tell your younger self if you could go back?In this episode of the Pillay Place Podcast, Rahul and Van get real about the early grind — the hustle, the insecurity, the comparison traps, and the slow-building wisdom that only comes from walking it out. Rahul shares the journey from making his boss's coffee to managing over $700 million in assets, and what he'd tell his 25-year-old self if he had the chance.Spoiler: it's not what you'd expect.They talk about why doing the work others won't take builds the kind of wisdom no textbook can give you, how identity rooted in external validation quietly wrecks you, and why the moment your relationship with God becomes your compass — the pressure finally lifts.As Rahul puts it, "The work that I was doing at some point switched, and it started becoming wisdom." And Van brings the outside perspective no one forgets: "Stay in your lane and do the best that you can — not focusing on what other people are doing."Whether you're 25, 45, or somewhere in between — if you've ever grinded for approval, feared someone else was going to take what's yours, or wondered if all this work actually means something — this episode is for you.Subscribe for more faith-filled conversations that help you grow in your purpose and peace.#PillayPlace #FaithPodcast #ChristianMindset #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianGrowth #FaithAndFinance #PurposeDrivenLife #OvercomingInsecurity #PeaceThroughFaith #TheGrindFind us on Spotify @pillayplacepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/6yDlDhEWsh21t2zeg7f5AC?si=B7-HfM0VR6SJuI2i7l4KdgYouTube: @pillayplacepodcast https://www.youtube.com/@PillayPlacePodcast
