“Young people are so carefree!”, but is it true? In this series ‘Snack for Thought’, we dive into real conversations on the money and life issues young adults face, while keeping it light-hearted with a mukbang style, sharing the food gems around our office at Duxton Hill, giving listeners plenty to chew on.

As trusted advisers to our affluent clients for over two decades, journeying with different generations, this series also gives parents and guardians insight into what their children or grandchildren (early 20s to 30s) may be experiencing. We explore the topics young adults care about, the challenges they face, and the concerns they discuss with peers. We hope these conversations help you understand them better and connect more meaningfully.

In this podcast episode, Kate and Helen reflect on what it truly means to be successful over Dopa ice cream, just steps from our office. Since young, many of us have grown up with a fixed definition of success shaped by the expectations of those around us. For some, these expectations can become a source of pressure and even feel suffocating at times.

But today, more young people are courageously redefining success on their own terms. Whether it is choosing to care for a farm, becoming a Pilates instructor, or pursuing a less conventional path, our generation is learning that success does not have to fit into a single mould.

As the final episode of this series for the year, we hope these conversations encourage younger listeners to reflect on what truly matters most to them. And to the older generation, we hope this offers a glimpse into what your children may be navigating, helping foster deeper understanding and connection.
