In this episode of the Round Table podcast, the hosts explore how birth order can affect career paths, intelligence, and personality traits. Some research indicates that firstborns may benefit from more cognitive stimulation, leading to higher education and better salaries due to how parents allocate their resources. However, larger studies suggest these differences are often minimal and not particularly significant. Ultimately, the podcast emphasizes that while birth order may have a slight impact, personal choices and upbringing are far more influential in determining one’s life journey. The episode also addresses a listener's question about overcoming public speaking anxiety and understanding various accents, offering practical tips on practice, effective communication, and balancing care with detachment to manage anxiety.
