Why Younger Generations Feel Less Certain—and What’s Still Deeply Hopeful with Kian Saneii

In Inner Light, hosted by Archita, we slow down and ask a gentler question: What if the younger generation isn’t “lost”… but adapting to a world that’s changed?

This episode is for anyone in their mid-20s to 50s feeling future-anxious—or struggling to understand the generational gap. Kian Saneii, Founder & CEO of Independa, shares a grounded lens on uncertainty, meaning, and why “success” is shifting from accumulation to experiences, connection, and values.
