A proposito di questo titolo
Ed interviews Thanita 'Ninar' Wongprasert, an old student of his and former guest on the show in 2018. On the earlier show she came on to talk about gay rights and same sex marriage in Thailand, and the two begin the interview with a high five to celebrate the eventual passage of gay marriage laws in Thailand. Ninar then discusses her work with various international NGOs and agencies of the UN. She was able to work on multiple issues, from the ozone layer to cyber security among others, and focused mostly on public information campaigns. Ed asks her about the transition from their international program to a prestigious organization such as the UN, and Ninar notes that building out her resume was a big project, but once she did that, she sailed right in.
Ed then asks about Ninar's new project, which is a type of consulting project that helps people find their purpose in life. To some extent, there is a focus on young people and helping them find a job that is truly meaningful to them, AND that will still be needed in the age of AI. But Ninar makes clear that they will advise clients of all ages, even if it's a retiree looking for a new hobby.
This segues into a discussion of Gen Z and the Thai education system and how Ed does his best to teach Thai students to think for themselves. Ed ends by pointing out that of all of his students in 17 years, Ninar is the ONLY student ever to get a perfect 100 on an essay exam. Yay Ninar!
