In this video, I share the exact career decision system I built over 15 years moving from athletics to UPSC & IRS to content creation and mentorship, so you don’t have to waste a decade figuring it out. We break down how to use the Ikigai framework with numbers (love, skill, market, meaning), how to calculate your real risk budget with runway and Maslow’s hierarchy, and how to avoid prestige traps, survivorship bias, and sunk-cost guilt. If you’re confused between UPSC, a “safe” job, business, or the creator economy, this video will help you choose the right career path logically, realistically, and in alignment with who you are, not who society wants you to be. --------------- My gear for shooting this video: Sony-ILCE-7M3-Full Frame Mirrorless Camera: https://amzn.to/4l4KVLf Canon EF50MM F/1.8 STM Lens: https://amzn.to/4c8UswO Logitech Tripod: https://amzn.to/3XFtffg Zoom H1 All Black (2024 Version): https://amzn.to/429Gypv  Shure SM7B Cardioid Vocal Dynamic Microphone: https://amzn.to/3RsSLAJ GODOX SL150II 150W LED Video Light: https://amzn.to/4hUP2H1 Rode Collar Mic: https://amzn.to/3E1UfyO --------------- For more podcasts like this one, subscribe to our channel.
