|E41| Paul talks (pt. 2) - The Evolution of My Relationships, Social Media, Anxiety & View On Race

In Part 1, we explored the backstory of Paul's parents and grandparents, the qualities in them that he sees now in himself, and the influence that different cultures & privileges in upbringing may have had on our generation's views on taking risks in their professional/personal life. In Part 2, we dive a lot deeper into Paul's story of going to a school dominated by white British kids, traveling in his 20s, the evolution of his friendship groups over time, meeting his partner Shanice, and plenty more!
