Summary

This week’s Sesh starts where a lot of great conversations do: realizing you’ve been trying to smoke an empty vaporizer like an absolute idiot. From there? Chaos. We get into why joints have officially become the preferred method, why glass somehow feels harsher as you get older, rolling paper debates, weird product tangents, and then somehow take a hard left into one of the more honest conversations we’ve had in a minute. We talk about whether the education system is actually preparing people for real life… or just training people to follow a script that doesn’t exist anymore. College degrees. MBAs. Job hunting. Why some companies want ridiculous credentials for jobs that absolutely do not need them. Why younger generations are rethinking work entirely. Why older generations stayed put. And what “valuable work” even means now. We also get into: Why mentorship seems way harder to find now Whether college is still worth it Mike Rowe, dirty jobs, and overlooked careers Why so many people feel disconnected from the work they do Society rewarding conflict over contribution Men, employment, and some uncomfortable realities around motivation and purpose Basically… one of those episodes where we started talking about rolling joints and somehow ended up questioning modern civilization. Classic. If you’ve ever questioned school, your career path, or why adulthood feels like everyone’s making it up as they go… this one’s for you. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going. We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.
