Today we changed up our style a bit and brought on two of the funniest blokes we know. Have a listen for a good laugh.

In this podcast we will introduce you to the new Solis Podcast philosophy. We realised that trying to make everything absent of bias sucked the entertainment and interest out of our podcast. We value the use of opinions in the pursuit of information and discussion. Today's episode mapped out some expectations on high-school leavers to go to uni - and if that is even necessary in the modern world.

Today we talked about how parents can influence their children's career choices (both subconsciously and consciously). We gathered a few interesting statements from people in different early stages of their career choice development.
