Join Turg and Randy Z as they rediscover the hardships of turning 30 all over again with their guest Jayce Baron. Jayce – an LGBT community thought leader, social entrepreneur and newly inducted member of Talk Thirty Nation – covers his wide range of experiences throughout his journey to share how his success has come about.
Do we over define our lives?
Jacye introduces a topic that can be taken to mean many different things. Are the goals that we set too out of reach? It’s tough to understand how our 20s really resonate with us in our 30s. But there is this moment in time where you’re confronted with the fear of crossing into another stage of life. Do we, then, discover the fact that our 20s weren’t exactly what we wanted them to be? Do we become afraid of the consequences that may have on our lives as we journey through 30?
Our defining moment as Millennials
The theme behind the Millennial generation is that we all share a common set of experiences. These experiences helped cement our generation as leaders of the revolution that has changed the way the world operates. Millennials are constantly left facing the reality that an adulthood once promised will never manifest itself the way it had been taught. What happened when we were finally faced with this reality is what makes Jayce’s story so unique. Instead of stalling out and trying to do his best to live the life that was once promised to him — a cubicle or corporate office, a 9-to-5 job for a company, setting long-term career goals — Jayce ventured down a different path. Having learned from his out-of-control 20s, Jayce managed to build his real-life social network and establish himself as an influencer.
Know your worth and then add tax
Your approach at 30 is all dictated by what you did during your 20s. Jayce was quick not to let the economic collapse ruin his chances of success, so instead of following the false promises, he blazed his own trail. It’s important to know your worth in your 30s because of the value you helped create for yourself in your 20s.
