Off The Leash Podcast
99% of young people aren't living right. As college students and young professionals we're taught to chase what looks valuable to everyone else: attending the best university, landing the best internships, and accumulating "status." After living in a society obsessed with external validation, we've decided to change the narrative. Through conversations with experts, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and people just like us, we're creating a community for young people to look past the shallow lifestyle and understand what it actually means to live a fulfilling life. Reframe the way you think. Make better decisions. Live healthier. Laugh a little while doing it.
