あらすじ・解説
In this episode of The Future is Hired, I’m sharing a personal, laugh-to-keep-from-crying story about how my son’s fall break trip home turned into a $6,000 saga. From car breakdowns in the desert to last-minute Vegas hotel bookings and a surprise 21st birthday adventure, this rollercoaster of a week is packed with lessons in preparation, problem-solving, and resilience.
Tune in to hear how we navigated stranded college kids, unexpected expenses, and the unique “teachable moments” that came out of this wild experience. While this episode detours from our usual career prep focus, it underscores the importance of real-life skills—whether it’s for the workforce or handling life’s curveballs.
If you’re a parent of a Gen Z kid, you won’t want to miss this one—it’s relatable, hilarious, and filled with takeaways you can share with your own family.
