- As a kid, what did you assume being a grown-up would feel like day to day?
- Would you rather always know your choice was right, or always be able to swap it later?

- Never have I ever steered a conversation on purpose so someone would compliment me.
- Give yourself a fifteen-second pep talk out loud, in the third person.
- Which advice did you brush off when you were younger and later found out was right?

- Teach the group something you actually know well. Thirty seconds, go.
- What do you do at home when you're sure nobody's watching? The boring version counts.
- Would you rather master anything in a day and lose it in a year, or take five years and keep it forever?
