Let’s be real. Choosing the right major can feel overwhelming.
But here’s something most people don’t talk about: Colleges expect you to change your major at some point or another.
So no, you don’t need to have it all figured out by age 16 or 17. But, that also doesn’t mean you should pick something completely random either.
In this week’s podcast episode, I’m bringing you inside a real coaching session I had with one of my Passion Project Bootcamp students, Erica. This was recorded back in 2020, but the strategies we cover are still just as relevant and effective today.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:
- How to approach choosing a major with clarity.
- How to align your interests with your college applications.
- What to do if you’re having trouble deciding on your major
- How to stand out with a strong strategy rather than with a long list of extracurriculars.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“No matter what kind of relationship you have with your friend, friendship is different from being in a relationship in a work setting.”
“Your job is not to be liked by your friends or by people, your job is to just stay focused on the mission of your Passion Project.”
“You can help that person do a great job by setting the right expectations. When there’s a lack of communication, the other person might not know what you really want.”
“The job of a mentor is to go through everything with you, including the lows and the highs.”
