Part Two of a two-part conversation: Luki is a career coach who has found his purpose helping others find theirs. He is a former computer scientist turned management consultant and campus recruiter turned educator and entrepreneur. He shares SIWIKE “Stuff I Wish I Knew Earlier” to elevate education through soft skills learning.

Some of the things we talk about in part two:

• Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Luki suggests spending 80% of your time exploring new experiences and only 20% in your comfort zone. He encourages listeners to challenge themselves by attending events like Toastmasters or improv comedy nights.

• The Importance of Volunteering: Luki emphasizes that even an hour a week can be dedicated to volunteering. It's not just about giving back, but also about connecting with like-minded individuals and potential networking opportunities.

This is the last episode of 2023. Stay tuned for future special episodes, and for the second season in early 2024!
