Summary

In this Minisode, Vishen discusses the question every parent asks their kids, which is, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The thing is, the question is outdated and misleading in the world we live in today. Instead of asking your children, "What do you want," there's a more powerful and empowering question you can ask to prepare them for their future.
