• Encourage repetition—listeners can replay critical sections to lock in next steps.

• Rebuild mindset and self-esteem, set goals, and plan life “like a business.”
• Navigate job searches or start a simple business; get tech- and finance-savvy.

• Make better decisions, avoid old patterns, and chart a long-term future.
