This isn’t just a story about the Ivy League — it’s about the systems that define elite education and teach us what “success” is supposed to look like.How prestige, pressure, and performance culture shapes (and potentially crushes) the next generation of leaders, founders, and decision-makers.Many of us were taught to believe these institutions were built for us — that if we worked hard enough, we could earn a seat at the table. But the truth is, these schools were never designed to serve everyone equally. They were designed to sustain power.Even if you’ve never set foot on an Ivy League campus like Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, you’ve felt its influence. You’ve seen how prestige opens doors and how it quietly decides who gets access to opportunity.If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to have a head start, this episode pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening at these schools.From hidden hierarchies to the illusion of meritocracy, we ask: What are we really chasing when we chase prestige?We share:✅ The privilege and pressure that come with elite education✅ How prestige rewires your self-worth (and how to unlearn it)✅ The mental health toll of “always achieving”✅ What we learned from walking away from systems built on validation✅ How to define success on your own terms — beyond the brand names🐯👯♀️ We’re the Tiger Sisters — Your Wall Street & Silicon Valley big sistersDecoding Money • Power • Love✨ New episodes every Monday | Shorts all week ✨🎯 This episode is sponsored by Read AI, a meeting co-pilot that takes notes, analyzes meeting sentiment, and shares smart next steps for you and your team.
