Description

Elliot Bewick is 20 and already saying the stuff everyone’s whispering about. We get into why Gen Z feels empty, why complaining is everywhere, and how stories and confidence actually change your life. No fluff. Just real talk, laughs, and a few hard truths. 




Key Discussion Points:

• Why complaining is just emotional noise and nobody’s getting better from it

• The “we’re all in a simulation” mindset and why it wrecks motivation

• Confidence vs ego and which one helps you actually win in life

• Loneliness, validation, and why social media makes everything worse

• How picking a story for your life is the move that changes everything
