22. Degree. Debt. And nowhere to be.

Everyone’s posting their wins. You’re just trying to remember the WiFi password from high school.

Myles isn’t failing to launch. He’s j

ust honest enough to say:

“I don’t know if I’m burnt out, or if this system is just fire.”

This episode is for anyone feeling stuck between who they thought they’d be by now… And who they actually are. Spoiler: You’re not behind. You’re just awake.

This isn’t a motivational episode. This is a brutally honest one.

Myles has a computer science degree, a mountain of debt, and zero job offers. He’s 22, living at home, and surrounded by siblings “crushing it” in cities with skylines and salaries. He spends his days rewriting résumés, scrolling LinkedIn, and wondering if his future ghosted him.

This episode dives headfirst into the "failure to launch" myth, post-grad paralysis, comparison culture, and the quiet panic of feeling like everyone else has their life figured out—except you.

But here’s the flip:

Maybe uncertainty isn’t failure. Maybe it’s the first sign you’re thinking for yourself. And maybe living at home isn’t a setback—it’s just the only rational response to a broken system.

If you’ve ever laid in bed wondering when dreaming turned into dreading… If you’ve ever wanted to throw your phone across the room because someone got a promotion and you just got out of bed… This one’s for you.
