Hogwarts vs. The Hard Knock Life? Our College Tour Story!

About this episode

Dr. Zubin Damania shares insights from touring colleges with his daughter, reflecting on ambition and life experiences.

Just got back from spring break touring colleges with my oldest ZPupp (yeah, wasn't she just a frickin' BABY yesterday?). Rochester, Vassar, and NYU. This episode is the full debrief...the steel cut oats, the Hogwarts campus, the NYU dean who told an auditorium full of accepted students and families that it's depressing to be poor, and what all of it reveals about ambition, projection, and just letting life life itself since the script is already written, bruh.
