Cameron Herold asks a guest what she'd tell her 21-year-old self. She says every experience is a curriculum, deliberately preparing you with unique skills for opportunities ahead. That belief, she thinks, will hold true ten or twenty years from now.

If you were to go back to the 21, 22-year-old Emerilys and give her some advice, what advice would you give the younger you that maybe you know to be true today, but you wish you'd known back then?
It's all for a reason. All of the curriculum that you go through in life has prepared me for this moment and for this very unique skill set and combination of arrows in my quiver for this full revolution. I imagine that 10 or 20 years from now, I'll say the same thing again. Life truly is a curriculum.
