Most of us will remember a time where we’ve tried to fit in. From the school yard to the office, figuring out where you belong can be challenging. Throw in class differences and privilege and it’s a whole different level of ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses’.
In this illuminating episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we hear from Kieran Mathew, General Manager of Equip Foods and the Founder of Gen Z marketing agency, Amplify. The entrepreneur shares how he got caught up in the material and monetary, why we need to detach from external validation, and how to get back to your roots to keep your feet on the ground.
