Most teens today feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in the race to be impressive — all while secretly wondering: “How do some students become so great, so young?”

In this episode, we break down the real process of building passion and achieving meaningful success — not by performing for approval, but by discovering purpose and leaning into long-term growth.

You’ll learn:

  • Why passion isn’t found — it’s built
  • How over-scheduling and screen time quietly close the curiosity window
  • The dangers of the Impressiveness Trap and how to escape it
  • Why real growth happens in the Goldilocks Zone of just-manageable challenge
  • How teens like Corey are solving real problems and becoming the kinds of leaders the world needs — and colleges are eager to recruit

This episode is a roadmap for teens who want to rise above burnout and build a life of purpose, impact, and excellence. It’s also a powerful guide for parents who want to support their kids the right way — with clarity, not more pressure.
