Ali Mahlodji — Life is a zigzag: Leaning Into Uncertainty
Growing up as an outsider with big dreams
Dropping out, making it big, and burning out
Making, and believing in, a list of life goals.
Giving kids the guidance he needed growing up
Listening to your body and having support from loved ones
How to make life decisions
Everything will turn out for something good
We are the sum of everything we've experienced
Learning to connect, and being your own best friend
Putting experience over knowledge in promoting diversity and inclusion
How to not burn out while saving the world
Shifting from doing to being and using your resources
And gender equality as the #1 job of men
Learning from children and elders what life is about
More in your material world = less in your inner world
"You always get creative in life when you have nothing"
Ali's generous offer of support
