Interesting discussion but not too personally relevant at my age and being retired. I did buy his book and am sending it to my 17 year old grandson who is trying to figure his life out. Adam has to fix the group photo behind him which is hanging crooked.

Adam gave a most interesting presentation. I believe his comments give us all an advantage in understanding the challenges facing younger people today.

Had technology problems. A few minutes before 4, I turned on the computer and heard voices and Pat's introduction, but no visual.

We enjoyed Adam's presentation. Found it very relevant as our grandchildren are entering adulthood. His use of personal stories to convey his message was great. Comes across much better than just stating an abstract thought. We also enjoyed the interactive public polling. First time we came across that on a Zoom presentation.

Priscilla and I considered thought provoking. Even though we are retired we are interested in how students should prepare themselves to earn a living for their entire work life. Newspapers are replete with stories of young people starting businesses on YouTube- an amazing phenomenon. Also his emphasis on continued learning is a good one to pass on to students. Opportunities will open up even more after the pandemic.

Adam Davidson's presentation on "The Passion Economy" provided us with a different and refreshing perspective from a younger generation (compared to more senior WACD speakers), on one aspect of the derivation and composition of new or reinvigorated US companies with stock market listings.

Enjoyed it very much.. as in the past many times I am not happy with what I hear however it is not the Presenters problem but the Politicians past decisions or lack thereof.
