Continuing our conversation from last week on keeping apathy at bay in a chaotic world, this episode dives into how to stay focused on your goals. 

 Drawing on Timothy Snyder's critical lessons from his book, "On Tyranny," Kemi emphasizes the importance of fighting for the integrity of our professions and institutions in the face of growing authoritarianism and misinformation. Listen in for insights on how to leverage our privileges and skills for meaningful impact, even amidst chaos. 

 This episode is your roadmap to regain focus and purpose in your career by creating structures that support your work and maintain your commitment to meaningful contributions, ensuring that when the dust settles, we have something to return to.
