We're back with Season 2 of the Spark Something New Podcast! And boy, do I have a great conversation for you to launch into this new year.
I'm chatting with the fabulous Dr. Liz Krider, a PhD chemist, speaker, and founder of KSA Catalyst. Liz is on a mission to help students discover their purpose through experiential learning, projects, and internships. We dive into how embracing life's uncertainties can lead to discovering your purpose.
Liz shares her journey of how her "experimental" and "experiential" approach to life, influenced by her Caltech background, can be applied to personal growth and community impact. We discuss inverted reasoning, tinkering with your life, and the importance of avoiding "what contributes to a miserable life" to find deeper fulfillment in your life and work.
Whether you're a student or a career professional, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical tips to inspire you to live with intention and purpose!
