Q&A LIVE from Texas A&M Texarkana

Paula Pant and co-host Joe Saul-Sehy record a live Q&A on the Texas A&M University-Texarkana campus, joined by Jay Davis, the university's Executive Director of Financial and Entrepreneurship Engagement. An audience of students asks raw, practical questions about navigating the tradeoffs between passion, a paycheck, and peace of mind in their 20s, preventing lifestyle creep, balancing present enjoyment with long-term responsibility, and building financial stability early. The hosts deliver a set of actionable frameworks drawn from behavioral design and self-determination theory, emphasizing curiosity over passion, automation to defeat lifestyle inflation, and building a 'bravery fund' through marketable skills and a cash cushion.
