In this episode of My Future Podcast, we take a deep dive and break down the popular left-brain vs. right-brain theory and how recent research shows it’s not as simple as it seems. Discover how both sides of your brain work together in everything from schoolwork to high-stress archery tournaments. We discuss and share valuable expert tips from Harvard’s Dr. Robert Shmerling and personal insights on how balancing focus and creativity can help manage stress in both sports and academics. This is definitely a must-listen-to before your next tournament, competition, exam, and more! Tune in for helpful strategies like controlled breathing, visualization, and positive self-talk to improve performance in life, archery, and more.

In this episode of *My Future Podcast*, Carson is joined by fellow archer and friend, Megumi Chang, to discuss the thrilling conclusion of USA Brady Ellison’s quest for his first Olympic gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics. They break down the intense gold-medal match, where Ellison lost by a mere five millimeters in a dramatic shoot-off against South Korea’s Kim Woojin. Despite the heartbreak, Ellison’s sportsmanship, resilience, and remarkable Olympic journey offer inspiring lessons for athletes and non-athletes alike. This is a reflection and discussion on the power of vision, preparation, and humility in both archery and life. You don't want to miss it!

Welcome to the very first episode of My Future Podcast! I'm Carson Chan, a 15-year-old nationally ranked archer, and I’m so excited to kick off this journey with you. In this podcast, we’re diving deep into the world of archery (woohoo!), personal growth, and the sometimes crazy, always interesting experience of being a Gen Z teen.

Let’s talk numbers for a second: Gen Z, which includes everyone born between 1997 and 2012, makes up about 27% of the global population—that’s over 2 billion people! In the U.S. alone, we’re around 68 million strong. We’re the first generation to grow up fully in the digital age, with 95% of us owning a smartphone. We’re also super driven, with about 60% of us planning to get a college degree, and we’re passionate about making a difference, with 76% of us concerned about humanity’s impact on the planet.

I’ll be sharing my own experiences as a developing athlete, chatting with experts, and giving you tips on how to master your craft—whether that’s in sports, school, or life in general. Plus, we’ll explore everything from the latest tech trends and college admissions to relationships and current events. And I’m excited to share that we’ve got some amazing special guests and interviews lined up for future episodes.

Thank you so much for tuning in! I’m truly grateful to have you here as we kick off this journey together. Your support means the world to me, and I’m excited to see where this adventure takes us. Whether you’re here for the archery tips, the Gen Z insights (we keep it real), or just to hang out, I’m glad you’ve decided to join me. If anything resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you—feel free to DM me on Instagram @meetcarson or message me at CharityArrows.org. Let’s grow, learn, and have some fun along the way — one episode at a time!
