Hey everyone - My friend and I have a passion for venture capital and an interest in global markets. To that end, we are thinking of starting a podcast that would bridge the two. I wanted to share a survey to get thoughts on the idea. Here's a link to the survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/1mixpRSbIlOhf74mc0VP_DaHMSy9LdRtX4a96MSaNi0E/edit?ts=612715d1. The podcase will be titled Underrated and Understated. If you could please fill out the survey we would truly appreciate it. Thank

Kindly recommend some self help books!

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
