What happens when life doesn’t go according to plan?

In this episode of The World According to Craig, we’re getting real about something a lot of people feel, but don’t always talk about… being behind.

Craig opens up about his journey toward earning his Bachelor’s in Social Work—and how real-life responsibilities, work, family, and pressure forced him to take a different path than he planned. From struggling to find an internship that fits a full-time schedule… to questioning whether he was falling behind… this episode is for anybody trying to balance survival and purpose at the same time.

This isn’t just about school. This is about identity. Responsibility. Resilience.

Because sometimes there is a delay? It’s not denial. It’s preparation.

If you’ve ever felt like your timeline got disrupted… like you’re moving slower than everyone else… or like life hit pause on your plans—this conversation will remind you:

You’re not behind. You’re building.

In this episode, we talk about:

The reality of balancing work, school, and life
The hidden barriers behind internships and opportunities
Learning to advocate for yourself
Why “longer” doesn’t mean “lesser.”
Shifting your mindset from “late” to “on the way.”
