Making It Up As We Go
Limited conversation surrounding second shots
Failing / making a mistake then finding your path as a result or through that
Mono

Making peace with getting it wrong
Elizabeth Day: "It's more real to fuck up"
Discussing, accepting & celebrating messiness
Podcast idea to contribute to the conversation: interviews with dif people all about their mistakes, and 'unusual' journey they've been on to reach the path they walk along today
Celebrating and vocalising 'unconventional' journeys to success
What is success though?
Money? Happiness? Comfortability? Conformity? Commercialism?
Can success truly be quantified?
Link to the ethical theory of Utilitarianism and its pleasure & quantification complex

Persistent societal pressure and expectation to know
Possible failure in the educational system's negligence of the arts and other vocational subjects

How to strike a balance?
Bluffing / Guessing / Adulting
