Summary

If you could travel back in time, what would you tell your 18, 25, and 35-year-old self? In this episode, Rich and Rox climb into the metaphorical time machine to revisit the versions of themselves who were lost, reckless, hopeful, and still figuring it all out.

From first heartbreaks to career chaos, from finding purpose to learning how to love — they explore what they’d do differently, what they’d do exactly the same, and what every version of them most needed to hear.

This is a conversation about perspective, forgiveness, and the surprising beauty of hindsight.

1:26.9	Not stock market advice, presumably.
