In this episode, we talk with Javar Christian, current grad school student and all-around great guy, to discuss the pursuit of success in America and the benefits of postgraduate education. At the beginning, Javar shares a bit of his story and where his perspective on the world came from (02:15), as well as the path he took that led to his desire to begin pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree earlier this year (04:50). Then, Javar shares a bit about his journey of finding a church after his move to the greater Philadelphia area and the comfort he found in his community there (08:45). After the break, we talk about the power of growing up in different contexts and the effect that our networks have on our pursuit of “success” (16:20) and dive deeper into the pitfalls of the pursuit of perfection and wonder how social media has amplified our perception of others’ success or status in life (21:00). Finally, we look into some reasons why people invest tremendous amounts of time, energy and money into the pursuit of graduate-level education (28:10) and talk with Javar about his perspective on America today and where he thinks our country is going in the future (37:30).Share your feedback on Instagram or Twitter! @lookcloserpod
