QLC 032: The Anatomy of a Quarter Life Crisis with Paul Angone

Today I’m excited to welcome Paul Angone to The Quarter Life Comeback podcast.

Paul Angone is an author, speaker and expert on the quarter life crisis & the unique challenges of life in your twenties.

Paul’s passion for this work came about from his own struggles in life trying to figure out his twenties and the fact that nothing seemed to make sense. He’s spent the last 10+ years researching this important decade and now shares what he’s learned with others to help them navigate their twenties and avoid some of the headaches he experienced.

This interview was quite possibly the most impactful one I’ve done and Paul shared some major wisdom, both from his books and elsewhere. Seriously, this episode is packed full of amazing resources for quarter lifers.

Alright, let’s go hang out with Paul…
