He introduces his transformative “Four Fingers and One Thumb” framework, a practical way to stop pointing outward and start taking responsibility for your future.
    The conversation also explores mentorship, coaching young people, finding balance beyond high-performance culture, and why discovering your core interests is essential for long-term fulfillment.
