Bent Arrows: How a Tooth Fairy Dentist Explains Your Career | TRG EP 13

Описание: "In my opinion, there's no such thing as an invalid experience. Everything you have adds up to your whole person." Iman introduces Bent Arrows — his new show about how every experience feeds into the next. From the Zamani philosophy of circular time, to his friend Deli's wild career path, to his mom the tooth fairy dentist, this clip is about leaning into the wiggly, wobbly nature of success.
