061: For the Young & Lost Men: How to Unlock Your Potential & Find Fulfillment with Alfi Oloo

Are you in a funk? Do you feel lost in life? This is for you. In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Alfi Oloo, a product designer by day and mentor/advocate for revised learning at night. Listen in as we dive deep into what to do if you're in a funk, how to unlock your potential and find fulfillment, and the power of leaning into personal development.

Alfi sheds light on how to grow your curiosity and find out what you're passionate about. He breaks down how dialogue and listening is the key to solving problems, developing into a respectable man, and advancing in life. Alfi then shares powerful advice for young men who are seeking greater purpose and direction, either in their careers or just in their personal lives. He also details why mentorship is a double-edged sword, one that can either help or hinder you.

"We've gone all the way from weapons and war to a conversation. Why do we rely on conversations? Because they are the things that most reliably improve us for the better." – Alfi Oloo

Your potential is immense and it's already within you. Mentorship and human connection is what will bring it to the surface and enable you to see it, feel it, and act on it.
