SIDE QUESTS BEFORE YOU'RE 25 (But they get more niche)

Transcript

Side quests before you're 25. But they get progressively more niche. Attend a local meet up or event about a hobby that you know absolutely nothing about. Spend a full day in a new city where your phone turned off. Drive to a city that you've never been to before and talk to at least five strangers. Document a 30 day transformation. Take a two day solo trip in a country that you've never been to and document the entire process. Get coffee with someone 20 years older than you and ask them their biggest regrets. Learn a skill that has no career value but changes your entire personality.
