Speaker 1: It's off on the side. What's up? It's Gandhi and
Speaker 1: uh fun fact. You will hear the audio at some point.
Speaker 1: But Diamond and I started recording this and the topic
Speaker 1: got so disgusting that I actually had to stop it
Speaker 1: and pause it because we're going to have a lovely,
Speaker 1: very classy guest on today. Her name's on Jula Acharia.
Speaker 1: She is basically like a serial entrepreneur. She has multiple businesses,
Speaker 1: she invests in stuff. She has some cool stuff on
Speaker 1: the way. But the conversation we were going to be
Speaker 1: having leading up to it was disturbing, And now Diamond
Speaker 1: feels sick. This is a tease. Now you have to
Speaker 1: stick around and wait to hear it another day. I
Speaker 1: will let it see the light of day at some point.
Speaker 1: But how you feel in Diamond.
Speaker 2: Sick to my stomach? Sick to my stomach?
Speaker 1: Okay, she said, I feel like Danielle.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm trying to catch my breath.
Speaker 1: I really am, because that was wild, right, what a tease.
Speaker 1: This is the best tease ever. We might just have
Speaker 1: to release it on its own, like, not even put
Speaker 1: it with a guest, because I feel like I don't
Speaker 1: want any of the guests to go and listen to
Speaker 1: their interview and then be like, why why would you
Speaker 1: wrap my interview in such a conversation?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like a mini a minisode. Yeah, Whe's just like,
Speaker 2: I don't know how many minutes of us making me
Speaker 2: feel like you're gonna throw up?
Speaker 1: But it's okay, it's so gross. So anyway, how was
Speaker 1: your weekend, Diamond?
Speaker 2: It was amazing?
Speaker 1: Would you do that's a very great reaction. What was
Speaker 1: so amazing about your weekend? Honestly, I don't remember what
Speaker 1: I did on Saturday. Uh oh, I went to a
Speaker 1: pilates class, left early, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Okay, but I found I fell down the rabbit hole
Speaker 2: of the stud buds and I love like I love them.
Speaker 1: Talk about the stud buds. Who are the stud buds?
Speaker 1: Where do you find them? And what is the content
Speaker 1: that they're bringing? The Diamond actually said them. By the way,
Speaker 1: Diamond doesn't fangirl out about anybody, like maybe she showed
Speaker 1: up for like beany man to like wave from the corner,
Speaker 1: maybe like burna boy. It's like way from the corner.
Speaker 1: Some football players, and she's a huge Jets fan. Doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything but the stud studs she's obsessed.
Speaker 2: Ever in this building, I probably will either do a
Speaker 2: cart will which I don't know how to do, or
Speaker 2: pass out. I love them.
Speaker 1: Why don't you try to book them on the show?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, her season is over? Oh no, what
Speaker 2: I already look, they'll be here next month. What's up? Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So they are two w NBA players, Courtney Williams and
Speaker 2: Natitia Hydeman, and they are the funniest people on the planet.
Speaker 4: What's a stud a lesbian who explained to people uses,
Speaker 4: I don't want to say, just dresses like it's the dudes,
Speaker 4: like the hardcore dude lesbians that you look at them
Speaker 4: and you're like, she can probably find a guy.
Speaker 1: Yep, very strong, very male, male coded, I guess.
Speaker 2: But they are but women, they are ten out of ten.
Speaker 1: Diamond's obsessed. She was tackling this morning. When I was
Speaker 1: walking by the stude, I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Said the stud buds? Oh my god, I can't get
Speaker 1: enough of.
Speaker 2: The stud bud. So this past weekend was the WNBA's
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend and they were in Indiana and they
Speaker 2: did a seven two hour live stream on their twitch.
Speaker 1: First of all, insane.
Speaker 2: It's insane, but it was worth it.
Speaker 1: Did you watch seventy two hours of the time?
Speaker 2: Now if we watched seventy two hours worth of content
Speaker 2: on TikTok of them, but not necessarily like they're but
Speaker 2: it was. I mean, I'm so happy because I spent
Speaker 2: my weekend just laughing, laughing. And then of course we
Speaker 2: have Rodney. He was mixed in there on my TikTok algorithm,
Speaker 2: Rodney Rodney, the real Frank Gallagher who is in Philly.
Speaker 2: Ten out of ten. He was drunk this weekend, of course,
Speaker 2: and so that.
Speaker 1: Was Tenddy's kind always drunk, isn't he?
Speaker 2: Yes, he is this weekend. He actually had the bottle
Speaker 2: in his hand, so it was like, oh okay, but yeah,
Speaker 2: stud buds, Stud buds. Ten out of ten content. They
Speaker 2: showed inside the parties, the all Star weekend parties, and
Speaker 2: everyone was drunk, grinding on each other. And I think
Speaker 2: that that's something that we don't think of when we
Speaker 2: see lesbians walking down the street.
Speaker 1: I certainly do you do? Okay, well you ever been
Speaker 1: to lesbian bar?
Speaker 2: No, ma'am, yeah, no, that take you on my encounter
Speaker 2: with a girl.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what what do you mean your encounter with
Speaker 1: a girl.
Speaker 2: I like, flirted with a girl in a club once
Speaker 2: and we exchanged numbers and then she just kept talking
Speaker 2: to me via like text message.
Speaker 1: Were you interested?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: I just was like, oh, you're cool whatever. I like
Speaker 2: the attention. And then I realized, like why men say
Speaker 2: that their wives talk too much? Because she just was
Speaker 2: talking way too much. I'm like, I don't even know
Speaker 2: you like that. You're texting me back to back to back, relaxed.
Speaker 1: She was showing interest.
Speaker 2: I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: She was all the way there for you. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: good time. How long ago was that?
Speaker 2: Probably ten years ago now? Oh wow? Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: I have a decent amount of lesbian friends and I've
Speaker 1: gone to decent amount of lesbian bars, and I will
Speaker 1: say the lesbians and lesbian bars are just as aggressive
Speaker 1: as straight men and straight people bars. It could get
Speaker 1: scary and intimidating. And I feel like there's actually a
Speaker 1: line that lesbians will cross with me that a straight
Speaker 1: guy will will not cross as much. But sometimes I'm like, hey, whoa, hey, whoa,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Was I giving out the vibes?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know you might have been.
Speaker 1: I don't think I have vibes if I'm being honest
Speaker 1: what you're around me constantly? Do you ever think that
Speaker 1: I'm flirting with people?
Speaker 2: No, but you do give domb vibes. Yeah, like you
Speaker 2: like to take control or something like that, And maybe
Speaker 2: maybe that's what people read.
Speaker 1: You know, they're like I just we've talked about this
Speaker 1: so many times that if ever a person feels that
Speaker 1: I am flirting with them, I one hundred percent can
Speaker 1: promise you I am not, because if I am coming
Speaker 1: off as smooth or charming or in any way likable,
Speaker 1: I'm uninterested.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I am interested, I am an absolute freakazoid weirdo.
Speaker 1: Don't really know how to make sentences embarrassing. We'll ask
Speaker 1: you about your favorite cheese, like just disgusting. I'm a
Speaker 1: horrible person. I don't know what else to say. I
Speaker 1: just look at them and I'm like, they know they
Speaker 1: know how I feel, which like, oh, my big age,
Speaker 1: why do I care if you know? Why would I
Speaker 1: care if you know? But it takes me right back
Speaker 1: to like seventh grade me where they cannot know because
Speaker 1: I could be rejected and feel like a big loser.
Speaker 1: So I just know it's not happening. I will leave
Speaker 1: a room. That's how you know I'm interested, I'm not there.
Speaker 2: And then what do you do? Just stalk?
Speaker 1: No, just nothing ever happens. I just remove myself from
Speaker 1: the situation because I feel so weird about it. I
Speaker 1: can't believe I've ever had boyfriends. They've all had to
Speaker 1: approach me, like convince me and approach me to talk
Speaker 1: to them, because no, absolutely.
Speaker 2: Not kind of the same but not really at least
Speaker 2: I stalk.
Speaker 1: You stuck, like go like look at their Instagram and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watch everything. I'm like, oh, is that a
Speaker 2: nail in the background be on the table behind them?
Speaker 2: But and then I have guy friends who I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: I think this girl might be with my crush. Can
Speaker 2: you watch her instant story? And they do it, but
Speaker 2: she's like for.
Speaker 1: What, you know, a lot of the people who I've
Speaker 1: been around in some capacity, most of the guys I
Speaker 1: talk to somehow do not have a large online presence.
Speaker 2: All Oh, I love that.
Speaker 1: They're my favorite guys. Those are my favorite people who
Speaker 1: just don't really give a crap about Instagram and trying
Speaker 1: to impress people. I get picked out by guys who
Speaker 1: take like selfies and stuff? Uh yeah, why are we
Speaker 1: hypocrites about that? I'll take a selfie and I'll post
Speaker 1: it and I want you to like it. Why can
Speaker 1: I not let someone else do that? That is a
Speaker 1: man men used to go to war. Please, They're still
Speaker 1: going to war, babe.
Speaker 2: And they're taking selfies? Please? Yeah, we my toxic trait
Speaker 2: or my toxic opinion. What men used to go to
Speaker 2: war and now we're taking selfies and like, please is
Speaker 2: it toxic?
Speaker 1: Also? Did you want that guy that went to war?
Speaker 1: Because when those guys were going to war, they were
Speaker 1: doing a lot of other stuff too. There has to
Speaker 1: be a happy medium. I don't need one of the
Speaker 1: guys from three hundred like from the Roman Empire. Not
Speaker 1: interested in that. Also, not interested in the guy that
Speaker 1: takes a gym selfie every day and licks his lips
Speaker 1: while he's taking the video. I'm specifically talking about one
Speaker 1: of my best friends who does it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I hate you. I told him he's a decent looking guy,
Speaker 1: works out all the time, he's fun. He I think
Speaker 1: you've talked to him before because he's like, ooh, Diamond,
Speaker 1: I love diamond anyway, I don't want to say his name,
Speaker 1: but he was talking about how he was just not
Speaker 1: having any luck on any of the dating apps, and
Speaker 1: he's like, what the fuck? Like, I linked my Instagram
Speaker 1: profile to it, and I just don't understand why nobody
Speaker 1: likes me. And I was like, well, that's why, because
Speaker 1: your Instagram profile is atrocious. Every picture I'm gonna show you,
Speaker 1: every picture is him in the mirror. Oh, there's not
Speaker 1: a woman on the planet who wants something like that,
Speaker 1: at least I don't think. I don't know the women
Speaker 1: on the planet who wants something like that. But it
Speaker 1: was atrocious. So he finally unlinked them, and guess what,
Speaker 1: My dude, all of a sudden had match after match
Speaker 1: after match after match, and then he linked it again because.
Speaker 3: You know what he said.
Speaker 1: You know, he said, I kind of respect this. I
Speaker 1: got to be myself. I don't want to I don't
Speaker 1: want to lure someone in being somebody else and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they find out who I am.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: If you see that running?
Speaker 2: It's all the same thing.
Speaker 1: Every single one, only there's a different rap lyric under
Speaker 1: each photo. Nope, Oh, Oh anyway, I love him and
Speaker 1: he is a really great person, but this does not
Speaker 1: represent who he is as a person. It's atrocious selfies,
Speaker 1: not cool. All these videos of like dudes who are
Speaker 1: blowing up right now like they get ready with me
Speaker 1: in the morning things. I'm disgusted.
Speaker 2: We used to go to war, okay, and now you're
Speaker 2: setting up a tripod and doing the same thing four
Speaker 2: times in a row just to get up. Come on, man, if.
Speaker 1: You think about the behind the scenes of really anything
Speaker 1: that people end up posting, it's awful. The behind the
Speaker 1: scenes the making of is awful, embarrassing. That's the stuff
Speaker 1: they need to post because that'll make people feel a
Speaker 1: lot better about their lives. Then, and we know people
Speaker 1: here who have amazing Instagram pages. But when you think about, wait,
Speaker 1: how long did it take you to make that? And
Speaker 1: what was the actual behind the scenes it please, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be those people who are like the old people
Speaker 1: that they're like. Can you believe they didn't like guys
Speaker 1: who are obsessed with themselves? Can you believe it?
Speaker 2: Can you believe it? I could believe it.
Speaker 1: Men used to go to war, they did.
Speaker 2: They used to chop down trees for wood and heat.
Speaker 2: They used to kill animals for us to be able
Speaker 2: to eat.
Speaker 1: Okay, but we don't have to do that anyway, We don't,
Speaker 1: thank God do that.
Speaker 2: But come on, they used to fix your tire. It
Speaker 2: like how you pulled over on the road. Now they
Speaker 2: just drive by recording themselves singing lyrics to a song.
Speaker 2: I'm sick of it.
Speaker 1: There is definitely it appears to be that there's been
Speaker 1: this shift where so many men do you want to
Speaker 1: be treated like the princess, and so many men are
Speaker 1: of this, Like I am the prize. For sure, you
Speaker 1: could be a prize. Maybe both of you are prizes
Speaker 1: and you are equally prized worthy of one another. However
Speaker 1: the hell you would say that, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: Maybe that can be both. But the guys who come
Speaker 1: in there are like, I need somebody to worship me.
Speaker 1: I am a prize. I am a high value man.
Speaker 1: What did we learn the other day? A top tier
Speaker 1: man is just.
Speaker 2: The average woman, the average woman.
Speaker 1: When you go through the definition of what a top
Speaker 1: tier man is, it was like, has a job, lives
Speaker 1: in his own apartment, has a headboard, has conditioner in
Speaker 1: the shower, likes his family, like are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: That is literally every woman I know sick and they
Speaker 1: take care of themselves and everybody around them, and they
Speaker 1: don't call themselves top tier in high value. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: But there's a whole video right now and TikTok of
Speaker 1: and it's gone very viral and there are lots of
Speaker 1: responses to it that a top tier man is in
Speaker 1: fact just an average woman Clocket. I say this all
Speaker 1: the time. I'll say it again. That is how you
Speaker 1: know sexuality is not a choice. If I could not
Speaker 1: be attracted to straight men, I would not be There's
Speaker 1: like nothing worse. Straight men are like what why? Why
Speaker 1: do I like this?
Speaker 2: What you?
Speaker 1: First of all, our boy Andrew. You know what I
Speaker 1: learned about him over the weekend. I love him. He
Speaker 1: is colorblind. He was sitting there trying to tell me
Speaker 1: colors things and he was completely off and every single one,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't accept or acknowledge that he doesn't know colors.
Speaker 1: He just kept barreling down the path that I was wrong,
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, man, let's ask somebody else.
Speaker 1: And then the person at the story we were with
Speaker 1: she was like, yeah, guys can't really tell colors, So
Speaker 1: they don't match. They just do weird things. Straight men
Speaker 1: not really my cup of tea. However, I'm very attracted
Speaker 1: to straight men. If I could be attracted to women,
Speaker 1: I would love to be. I want to be.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I tried to text the girl one.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. Who's outside pissing you off? Right now?
Speaker 2: Everybody? Why everyone?
Speaker 1: Are they staring in here and trying to get your
Speaker 1: attention talk about things?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And texting me even though I've responded about things,
Speaker 2: and I just don't understand it. But I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: to breathe through this.
Speaker 1: Do you want to name names? Who's out there?
Speaker 2: Danielle Delolo?
Speaker 1: Oh no?
Speaker 2: And now Celia just walk by. I'm almost positive is
Speaker 2: because they're walking back and forth about this.
Speaker 1: So on that note, because we have to go grab
Speaker 1: this interview, we're going to get into Angula Acharia. I
Speaker 1: explained who she was. I think you'll be interested in
Speaker 1: her life story and you will enjoy this. Okay, I
Speaker 1: am here with Angela Acharia? Did I pronounce it correctly?
Speaker 3: Perfectly?
Speaker 1: Perfectly? How do people slaughter it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: Most people try and call me Angela. Even my fiance's mother,
Speaker 3: who is dacy, Indian South Asian calls me Angela. It's hilarious. Actually,
Speaker 3: I've noticed that more Indians have a problem I saw it.
Speaker 3: I should say South Asians to be inclusive, but I
Speaker 3: find that more South Asians have a problem with my
Speaker 3: name than like white people these days.
Speaker 1: That is very surprising to me. That is weird, all right.
Speaker 1: And when she says dacy, I asked, we were talking
Speaker 1: before the actual recording started, and you use the word
Speaker 1: dacy a lot. I asked, Diamond, do you know what
Speaker 1: the word dacy means, just in case because it will
Speaker 1: probably be dropped a lot right now. And she said no,
Speaker 1: which that makes me assume most people listening are probably
Speaker 1: also going to say no. So will you explain what
Speaker 1: they s means?
Speaker 3: I will. So the word actually derives from the word dish,
Speaker 3: which means the land, and someone who's dacy is of
Speaker 3: the land, So it's basically replies to anyone who's South Asian,
Speaker 3: and eventually at some point came from the land of
Speaker 3: South Asia, so India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. And yeah,
Speaker 3: so we've been using the word really for the diaspora
Speaker 3: and non resident Indians and our rise for a long
Speaker 3: time to describe who we.
Speaker 1: Are there you go. So when you hear that word,
Speaker 1: we are talking about our country folk.
Speaker 3: Yes, people from South Asia essentially.
Speaker 1: So you may not recognize the name Aula Alcharia, but
Speaker 1: that is what we are here to change, because you
Speaker 1: will recognize a lot of the projects that she has
Speaker 1: been part of. And one of the things that I
Speaker 1: like to do with this podcast is either leave people
Speaker 1: with something to think about, hopefully, teach them something, or
Speaker 1: give them an actionable item. And I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to help us with all three of those things.
Speaker 3: I will definitely try.
Speaker 1: Okay, So when I say that you are the name
Speaker 1: behind a lot of really massive projects and people, your
Speaker 1: bio here, this is quite quite a lot. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read what it says here, okay, okay. Anjula Acharia
Speaker 1: is a trailblazing entrepreneur, talent strategist, investor, and cultural catalyst
Speaker 1: known for building global platforms and cross cultural careers. Her
Speaker 1: unique work sets at the intersection of celebrity, technology and culture,
Speaker 1: shaping who and what we pay attention to on a
Speaker 1: global stage. In regular words, what does that mean to you?
Speaker 1: That's quite a mouthful. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, I've had this super varied career and I
Speaker 3: believe in just like finding the opportunity. And I believe
Speaker 3: that every single day there is like a million opportunities,
Speaker 3: but because they don't fit in with our plan, we
Speaker 3: don't pursue them. So I decided to live my life
Speaker 3: not like that. I decided to live my life with
Speaker 3: just looking at opportunities every single day and seeing what
Speaker 3: feels good in that moment. That is not the Dacy way,
Speaker 3: by the way, It's definitely not the Dacy way. But
Speaker 3: I've never been a true day see from that perspective.
Speaker 3: So you know, because of that, amazing opportunities have come
Speaker 3: to me and my career has just like literally catapulted
Speaker 3: into different areas. So I've been an investor for many,
Speaker 3: many years. I've invested in companies like Bumble, Bulletproof, class Pass.
Speaker 3: I was actually the first investor in class Past, which
Speaker 3: is a fitness platform. Now I think everybody knows what
Speaker 3: class Okay people don't still, but yeah, it's sold for
Speaker 3: over a billion. Obviously people know the dating app. And
Speaker 3: then I've done a lot of work in CpG, which
Speaker 3: is consumer packaged goods. I worked for a venture fund
Speaker 3: for many, many years, and then you know, I also
Speaker 3: became an entrepreneur because I knew the investor community and
Speaker 3: was able to raise money quite easily. So I raised
Speaker 3: money for a startup called dacy Hits, and through that
Speaker 3: it was a platform for cross cultural content from Hollywood
Speaker 3: to Bollywood. I did everything like take Lady Gaga to India,
Speaker 3: launched Britney Spears in India, took emy kand Glaziers, worked
Speaker 3: with Rihanna and really sort of gave them a global
Speaker 3: gateway to the South Asian diaspora, which you know is
Speaker 3: one fifth of the world's population, so it's a really
Speaker 3: staggering number. There's one point two billion people in India.
Speaker 3: Touring is really like blowing up there. But I was
Speaker 3: really at the start of the journey kind of. I
Speaker 3: would say, fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Ago, you founded a company called a series. It's investment
Speaker 1: in management, right, But where does one even begin with
Speaker 1: something like that, to say I would like to be
Speaker 1: an investor. Where do I get the money and how
Speaker 1: do I figure out what I want to invest in?
Speaker 3: That's such a brilliant question because it's brilliant because I
Speaker 3: founded a company called Dacy Hits, which I fell into founding.
Speaker 3: So basically, me and my ex husband built a podcast
Speaker 3: back in the day when really no one was podcasting
Speaker 3: way before you yeah you were in your diapers not oh,
Speaker 3: I think you probably were. And we put this podcast
Speaker 3: out of like they see music mashed up with hip
Speaker 3: hop and bunger and Bollywood with R and B and
Speaker 3: it just went vi.
Speaker 1: So that was at the time. To Beware of the
Speaker 1: Boys was like everywhere you go and you're Indian, you
Speaker 1: walk in, people are like, I have a song for you.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, seriously. So it was just after that,
Speaker 3: and it's so interesting you brought that up because when
Speaker 3: I founded Dacy Hits, I got an investment from a
Speaker 3: guy called Jimmy Iveen who was the founder of Beats
Speaker 3: by Dre and Interscope Records, and he introduced me to
Speaker 3: Jay Z and was like, Jay, do you know what
Speaker 3: the impact of your song had on on the South
Speaker 3: Asian community, on the DACY community. And Jay was like,
Speaker 3: I just love the beat. I was like, Jay, do
Speaker 3: you understand like this was a cultural movement, a moment.
Speaker 3: And I was like, this guy's too cool man, but
Speaker 3: how do.
Speaker 1: You even get your foot in the door to meet
Speaker 1: Jimmy Iovine and to start investing in these companies.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it was such a crazy story. So I
Speaker 3: was working in venture capital more on the recooning side,
Speaker 3: working for Vcason.
Speaker 1: So that's a good start, Yeah, working venture capital.
Speaker 3: But I wasn't in venture capital. I was basically a
Speaker 3: headhunter for venture capitalists to find like CEOs for early stage.
Speaker 3: And this podcast that me and my ex husband Ranch
Speaker 3: Bath went viral on its own. It was called dacy
Speaker 3: Heads Okay, and it just went super viral. Anyway, I
Speaker 3: called my dad and I was like, oh, this went
Speaker 3: really viral. My dad goes, you're abusing the rights of
Speaker 3: the rights holders for this music. You better build a
Speaker 3: company because otherwise they're going to take your house. And
Speaker 3: he was freaking out.
Speaker 1: That's such a daisy dad, all the way that is
Speaker 1: going to get taked, right.
Speaker 3: And like I just was like my second house, right.
Speaker 3: He was like, don't let anyone take that house. So
Speaker 3: I panicked and I said to my ex, I was like, hey,
Speaker 3: we we need to build a company an LLC around this.
Speaker 3: Our house doesn't get taken. So we did it, and
Speaker 3: I was with these vcs and I'd mentioned that this
Speaker 3: podcast has gone viral, and the next day I received
Speaker 3: a twenty four hour exploding term sheet for one million
Speaker 3: dollars to fund the company. Now I didn't really have
Speaker 3: a company, but I did because I had an LLC
Speaker 3: because I didn't want them to take my house. But
Speaker 3: I didn't really see it as a company. So when
Speaker 3: they were like, oh, we want in in your company,
Speaker 3: I was like, this is insane. Anyway, So we ended
Speaker 3: up taking that million dollars and building it into a
Speaker 3: platform which is called dacy Hits. And then a year later,
Speaker 3: we're now raising five million dollars to build the platform
Speaker 3: out more. And everybody's on this whole India trip, like
Speaker 3: all the vcs are like India's like crushing it, one
Speaker 3: fifth world's population, like digital you know, proliferation. So we
Speaker 3: were kind of on that wave. So I'm now raising
Speaker 3: five million dollars. And one of the VCS, his name
Speaker 3: is Drew Lipsha. He said to me, I want you
Speaker 3: to do some due diligence with Jimmy IVY and I
Speaker 3: used to work for him, and if anyone knows pop culture,
Speaker 3: it's him. Anyway, my first meeting with Jimmy's hilarious, because
Speaker 3: he counsels on me. I fly to La, I get land,
Speaker 3: and he counsels a meeting because Gwen Stefani has some
Speaker 3: emergency that he has to deal with. So I was like,
Speaker 3: screw that. I fly back to Silicon Valley. I end
Speaker 3: up not taking that term sheet and I went to
Speaker 3: d SHAW, which was a hedge fund, and they founded
Speaker 3: my Series B at five million dollars. So I moved
Speaker 3: to New York and randomly I'm having lunch with that
Speaker 3: VC that great craft Drew and he says, you never
Speaker 3: met Jimmy, did you? And I go no, he canceled
Speaker 3: it on me, and I was like so full of
Speaker 3: attitude and like, but I don't need him anyway. I
Speaker 3: raised five million without him, and he was like, no,
Speaker 3: you should just really like you should. You should meet him,
Speaker 3: like he's going to change your life. So then randomly
Speaker 3: I'm in LA and Jimmy has fifteen minutes to meet me,
Speaker 3: and he's like, take the fifteen minutes because if he
Speaker 3: likes you, you'll be in there for four hours. He
Speaker 3: likes me, and he gave me like the fourth pair
Speaker 3: of Beats headphones, and we like just riffed about everything
Speaker 3: about brands, about marketing, about global strategy, and next thing
Speaker 3: I know, he's shoving like millions of dollars in my pocket.
Speaker 1: And you just say this so casually like that happens
Speaker 1: to everybody. It does not, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: it now three times you got the first million, then
Speaker 1: you got five million, then you got millions from him.
Speaker 3: Yes, but I don't like it can happen to anyone
Speaker 3: if you're not selling, if you're inspiring, this is this
Speaker 3: is like Okay, I didn't realize I was doing this
Speaker 3: at the time. I didn't realize that I was inspiring
Speaker 3: Jimmy to go on this journey with me. I was
Speaker 3: just talking about my journey so passionately and he wanted
Speaker 3: to come on it with me. But now I realized,
Speaker 3: and I can dissect that and say to people, don't sell,
Speaker 3: talk about what you're really passionate about, and the right
Speaker 3: people will find their way on your journey with you.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what happened. Like Jimmy was, you know,
Speaker 3: he'd done everything built, he was building beats by dre,
Speaker 3: He'd already had all these global successes with fifty cent
Speaker 3: eminem like you know jay Z, like you name it,
Speaker 3: he'd done it all, and you know, most of these
Speaker 3: people are looking for something different and unique that they've
Speaker 3: not done before. So I also was very open to
Speaker 3: everything that was going on around me. So when I
Speaker 3: saw he was interested in something, I doubled down on that.
Speaker 1: That actually brings me to a question. You are probably
Speaker 1: pretty well versed in pr and building brands and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and what we see now everywhere
Speaker 1: you look is somebody trying to sell you something. The
Speaker 1: rise of the influencer has really taken over. I actually
Speaker 1: get very when people try to call me an influencer
Speaker 1: because I'm not trying to sell you anything. I promise
Speaker 1: you that's not my goal. I want people to do
Speaker 1: what they want to do. But to these baby influencers
Speaker 1: or people who are trying to build their brand, if
Speaker 1: you're telling them don't try to sell, how do they
Speaker 1: build their brand? What are they trying to do instead?
Speaker 1: Where can you point them?
Speaker 3: You know, look, I'm going to tell you what worked
Speaker 3: for me, and what worked for me was to be
Speaker 3: truly authentically passionate about what I'm doing and talk about
Speaker 3: that from that place of sincerity. People that align with
Speaker 3: that will come along with you.
Speaker 1: So it's what we like to say all the time.
Speaker 1: Authenticity is actually what's winning at the moment when you
Speaker 1: truly care about something, follow that thing you truly care about,
Speaker 1: don't try to follow the crowd much to your own
Speaker 1: own beat, of your own drummer.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I just think you have to be
Speaker 3: super truthful. Like you know, I always cite Pyle Kadakia
Speaker 3: like she had no fitness.
Speaker 1: She's from class past.
Speaker 3: Correct, Okay, she had no fitness background at all. She
Speaker 3: didn't know anything about Finnis. She was a very passionate
Speaker 3: dancer who had a problem trying to find a dance
Speaker 3: space to have a class. But she just came at
Speaker 3: the problem in a completely different way to how everybody
Speaker 3: else was trying to solve it because she was just
Speaker 3: really passionate and truthful in her journey. Right. So that's
Speaker 3: the thing I think, Like I say, I feel like
Speaker 3: a lot of entrepreneurs are just trying to find this
Speaker 3: problem to solve because they think they want to make
Speaker 3: a billion dollars, right, and that just doesn't generally work.
Speaker 1: Authentically, I would like to make a billion dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, authentically I would too.
Speaker 1: That would be great. So you when you say people
Speaker 1: are trying to pitch you. So most people know, hey,
Speaker 1: she is an investor. Let me go to her with something.
Speaker 1: Because I'm saying this for a reason, I should say
Speaker 1: asking this for a reason. I have a billion dollar
Speaker 1: idea in my head. Yeah, and I don't know where
Speaker 1: to start.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you right now in the
Speaker 1: air because I don't want people to steal it until
Speaker 1: it's completed and I've done the first thing with it
Speaker 1: that I want to do. But I'm very excited. I
Speaker 1: do think it's going to be something awesome. I keep
Speaker 1: telling Diamond my five year plan is that that is
Speaker 1: what I want to do. So fingers crossed it.
Speaker 3: So you seem very authentically passionate about it. I had
Speaker 3: my company, I'd raised money. So pyle Kadakia found me
Speaker 3: and ca to me with this idea and I kicked
Speaker 3: the tires on it with her, and I thought she
Speaker 3: was brilliant from the moment I met her, and I
Speaker 3: knew she was going to be someone. I said to her,
Speaker 3: I will help you try and raise money. And I
Speaker 3: was introducing her to people and saying, oh, you should
Speaker 3: fund this company. It's really good, and they were like,
Speaker 3: have you invested And I was like no, because I'm
Speaker 3: not an investor and I don't invest in stuff. And
Speaker 3: people just didn't really go along with it. So then
Speaker 3: I go back to part and I go, I think
Speaker 3: I need to invest something into your company, but I'm
Speaker 3: an entrepreneur myself and her very much, but I can
Speaker 3: give you your first ten K. So she was like amazing,
Speaker 3: thank you. And I was like, and I can also
Speaker 3: incubate you into my company and I can give you
Speaker 3: free office space. And people started coming along on the journey,
Speaker 3: and then Pyle just went out telling everyone what an
Speaker 3: amazing investor I was because I've given her space, i
Speaker 3: was helping her out, i was mentoring her, and suddenly
Speaker 3: all these women were coming at me to invest in them.
Speaker 3: And that's how I fell into it. So I say
Speaker 3: all the time to people, I was like, you don't
Speaker 3: actually have to invest money. Sometimes you can just invest
Speaker 3: in your time is where equity and your knowledge could
Speaker 3: really help someone, and if they give you small piece
Speaker 3: of equity for that, you can really start building from there. Okay.
Speaker 1: So one of the things that we like to talk
Speaker 1: about on the Big Show all the time that's the
Speaker 1: Elvis Ram Morning Show is that the path to success
Speaker 1: is not a straight line that just continues to climb up.
Speaker 1: The way you're talking right now, it seems like your
Speaker 1: path to success has in fact been a straight line
Speaker 1: climbing up. So tell me about some things that were
Speaker 1: not necessarily as clean and easy. Yeah, what's a failure
Speaker 1: that you've had? Make people feel good about themselves?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will, Well, they sy Hits was my biggest failure. Okay,
Speaker 3: it sounds like a great success, and in many ways
Speaker 3: it was. I always compare it to Napster, and I
Speaker 3: say Napster was a big failure, but Napster built the
Speaker 3: way for Spotify, and they see Hits failed like it failed,
Speaker 3: like I didn't make any money out of it. I
Speaker 3: didn't return the money to my investors. And by the way, Jimmy,
Speaker 3: I been on my second meeting with him after him
Speaker 3: giving me millions of dollars, told me it was going
Speaker 3: to fail. And I was like, by the way, at
Speaker 3: lunch with jay Z, like said, don't be offended.
Speaker 1: Why you got to embarrass me in front of him?
Speaker 3: Right he did. He goes, don't be upset, it's going
Speaker 3: to fail. Why because I was wait early and he
Speaker 3: told me I was fifteen years too early. He goes,
Speaker 3: I know pop culture, you are so way ahead of
Speaker 3: the curb, and you know basically it's going to fail now,
Speaker 3: but it will be ready in about fifteen years. And
Speaker 3: I said, but Jimmy, you just gave me all this money.
Speaker 3: Why did you give me this money? And I was like,
Speaker 3: I thought he was joking with me, actually, and he said,
Speaker 3: because you're an album, not a single, and I want
Speaker 3: to go on this journey with you. And it's crazy
Speaker 3: because we signed Piankatropra Jonas together and she popped and
Speaker 3: we had a success with her and we.
Speaker 1: Had more her manager at the correct yea yeah, and I.
Speaker 3: Have been for the last fifteen years. And I went
Speaker 3: to India to go and seek her out and convince
Speaker 3: her to come back here with me because I knew
Speaker 3: that I could, you know, make the star that she
Speaker 3: is today. And by the way, I was so depressed
Speaker 3: for like six months to a year, where she knows
Speaker 3: because she was hit I need a chalatengy over there,
Speaker 3: she knows I was. I was really depressed for about
Speaker 3: a year and I thought I was so embarrassed at
Speaker 3: my failure. And then I remember having lunch with Jimmy
Speaker 3: on his veranda at his old house and he was like,
Speaker 3: I told you this was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: He was kind of like, it never helps. The idea
Speaker 1: so never helps, Like why you upset?
Speaker 3: Like I told she was gonna happen, But you're could
Speaker 3: have go on to do great things. But that moment
Speaker 3: you couldn't see it. I couldn't see it. Like he
Speaker 3: asked me to come and work for beats with him,
Speaker 3: I had too much ego. You know, definitely had way
Speaker 3: too much ego. I should go and work for beats
Speaker 3: and made billions of dollars. Yeah. So, and I've had
Speaker 3: so many failures, Like I mean.
Speaker 1: It's all part of getting to your success. But you
Speaker 1: learn from it. That's that's okay. So that's the thing
Speaker 1: that I would like people to chew on for a
Speaker 1: little bit. Failure is part of success. Absolutely happens all
Speaker 1: the time to learn exactly right, And we see so
Speaker 1: many people you get knocked down once and you're like,
Speaker 1: that's it. I failed. I'm not gonna get back up. No,
Speaker 1: you have to get back up and you have to
Speaker 1: try again with better knowledge because you've learned from that
Speaker 1: last experience. So if you are listening and you're working
Speaker 1: on something you failed, it's okay. All of us have
Speaker 1: and we probably will again at some point because.
Speaker 3: I mean, my other thing is like, if you're disrupting,
Speaker 3: you have to fail, like because you're disrupting something and
Speaker 3: no one's disrupted before. Like, actually, I will say, the
Speaker 3: best lesson I ever got was, you know, if something's
Speaker 3: not working, that's okay. Like I had this view with
Speaker 3: Dacy Hits where if you just keep going and you
Speaker 3: keep going, and you keep going, you don't give up me,
Speaker 3: you don't give up a venturely you'll succeed. That's not true.
Speaker 3: Like you have to pivot, you have to change your course.
Speaker 3: You have to be flexible.
Speaker 1: And coming from the Dacy family that you come from,
Speaker 1: was it expected that you were going to be a doctor,
Speaker 1: an engineer or something like that, or did your parents
Speaker 1: know this one's gone off the rails and going to
Speaker 1: do something completely different from the jump.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you something, I just I just wasn't
Speaker 3: very good at school. I had dyslexia. I went to
Speaker 3: school with dyslexia when no one really knew what it was,
Speaker 3: and my parents didn't think I was very clever at all,
Speaker 3: so they really didn't have much hope for me. And
Speaker 3: you know, the only person that did really believe me
Speaker 3: was my sister. She passed breast cancer a couple of years,
Speaker 3: but thank you. But yeah, I don't think my parents
Speaker 3: really had much much belief thought I was going to
Speaker 3: really be anything.
Speaker 1: So that makes me feel good in some ways because
Speaker 1: the only person who I think ever had faith in
Speaker 1: me from the very very beginning was my sister, and
Speaker 1: she's my favorite person in the world. When I first
Speaker 1: started working in radio, there was zero money. They used
Speaker 1: to pay me in gift certificates, so I lived with
Speaker 1: her for free. She paid my rent, she paid for everything.
Speaker 1: She's older, so she's.
Speaker 3: To shout out.
Speaker 1: She's the greatest. She is the theacy child who went
Speaker 1: on to get the white coat in the stethoscope.
Speaker 3: Good for her.
Speaker 1: But she always said, I just know that you're going
Speaker 1: to do something different, and she always supported me and
Speaker 1: my parents when I first got this job, and sometimes
Speaker 1: to this day they will ask me what I'm going
Speaker 1: to get a real job? Really still now it's it's
Speaker 1: lessened now, but it still happens every now and then. Like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what's the plan. B. I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't have a plan B.
Speaker 2: This is it.
Speaker 1: So this is either sink or swim. Hopefully we're swimming.
Speaker 1: So far we've been all right.
Speaker 3: But they being great without armbands without it.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting thing and I think, especially coming from
Speaker 1: the culture that we come from, to try and branch out,
Speaker 1: step out and do something different. But I love to
Speaker 1: see so many people doing it. And I ask you,
Speaker 1: when you say you've introduced so many people from this
Speaker 1: part of the world to South Asia and the culture there,
Speaker 1: what do you think it is that makes a successful crossover.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You know, I learned this amazing story from Lady Gaga.
Speaker 3: So when I took Lady Gaga to India, everyone was like,
Speaker 3: you're gonna change her. You're gonna change her. And everyone
Speaker 3: in India was telling me like, do not bring Lady
Speaker 3: Gaga here. She is a vegetarian country and she wears
Speaker 3: meat dresses. This is true. Like they were like, this
Speaker 3: is not going to resonate. And I believe that anything
Speaker 3: can resonate. I really do. And you know, I sat
Speaker 3: with Gaga and I said, tell me what's really important
Speaker 3: to you and The two things that came up were like,
Speaker 3: she said a bunch of things, but was food and God.
Speaker 3: And I said, when you come to India, just talk
Speaker 3: about food and God. Oh and she loves to tea
Speaker 3: as well, So I was like talking about God and
Speaker 3: tea and she came and that's what she talked about.
Speaker 3: And she also, you know, India was going through kind
Speaker 3: of this kind of LGBT crisis where you know, it
Speaker 3: was illegal to be gay and all this kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: and she really reached out to that community in a
Speaker 3: really meaningful way. And yeah, I mean, I think it's
Speaker 3: just a case of thinking about what's truly important to
Speaker 3: you and what resonates with that new market that you're
Speaker 3: you're trying to expand to. So you know, I learned
Speaker 3: that from her because she kept saying like, oh, you're
Speaker 3: going to try and change me, and I was like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm really not. Everyone was like, don't talk about this,
Speaker 3: don't talk about that. She's too you know whatever, like
Speaker 3: she's too groundbreaking for Indians, and I was like, don't
Speaker 3: underestimate our people.
Speaker 1: I've noticed quite an interesting divide when it comes to
Speaker 1: Indians and the way that they respond to me. It
Speaker 1: is because because Dandhi is my great great grandfather.
Speaker 3: Oh no way, oh yeah, oh wow, yeah wow so world, No,
Speaker 3: not at all.
Speaker 1: I was just born into a family. I'm just as
Speaker 1: impressed by it as other people are. But because of that,
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 3: Your great great Graham Vosa.
Speaker 1: The pictures of my uncle with him in the ashrooms
Speaker 1: and all kinds of obviously the last name stuck.
Speaker 3: By the way, just so you know, there's a memorial
Speaker 3: of Gandhi in Union Square. You know that I do. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so everyone want.
Speaker 1: Everyone go look. But because of that, there are certain
Speaker 1: expectations of what they would expect me to be like,
Speaker 1: and I am not meeting those expectations. So a lot
Speaker 1: of people have a lot of shit to say, none
Speaker 1: of which is nice. But then they expect me to
Speaker 1: be walking in his footsteps, which is a crazy thing
Speaker 1: to expect.
Speaker 3: Can I just stop me for one second, because you
Speaker 3: are walking into footsteps? Can I tell you why? Because
Speaker 3: he was a disruptor and he didn't do things the
Speaker 3: way everybody thought he should do it. He went to
Speaker 3: law school I think it was in Oxford and decided
Speaker 3: one day that he wasn't gonna wear those clothes, you know,
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like, he was a disruptor. He decided
Speaker 3: for a non violent demonstration when everybody was. You know,
Speaker 3: he was a disruptor, and you are a disruptor. So
Speaker 3: I think you are absolutely following in his foot.
Speaker 1: Well, well thanks. I like to think the same thing.
Speaker 1: But I always say I am a descendant. I'm not
Speaker 1: a disciple. There are people out there who will call
Speaker 1: themselves disciples, and you can hold them to that standard,
Speaker 1: but that is not me, and I think you would
Speaker 1: very much support it. So we have this one group
Speaker 1: of people who like to say you are an embarrassment
Speaker 1: to your family, shameful, this is awful, how dare you
Speaker 1: change your last name? Get out of here? And then
Speaker 1: there is another demographic of people, and it is often
Speaker 1: split among age groups who are incredibly supportive and say
Speaker 1: I love to see this. I love to see something new,
Speaker 1: something that's not in the vein of what everybody else
Speaker 1: is doing. And it's just a fascinating dance with the
Speaker 1: two sides of India, and I like to see it.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking, like, what actually works over there
Speaker 1: at the moment.
Speaker 3: I say, India is one point two or three billion people.
Speaker 3: Everyone's different one size does not fit all.
Speaker 1: It's tough to explain India to a lot of people
Speaker 1: who have not been there, because I say all the time,
Speaker 1: it's not like the United States, where you could go
Speaker 1: from Florida to Tennessee and you can have a general
Speaker 1: idea of what the culture is going to be.
Speaker 3: Like I mean, think about the foods. Yeah, foods are
Speaker 3: like completely different.
Speaker 1: Like the Lessard did a different the people, which is different. Correct,
Speaker 1: different states were colonized by different countries of Goa, which
Speaker 1: is very heavily Portuguese. People look different and it's a
Speaker 1: totally different thing. It was a bunch of kingdoms that
Speaker 1: all came together as one. So it is tough as
Speaker 1: diamond and I will always talk about to look at
Speaker 1: them as a monolith because everyone is so different, and
Speaker 1: India's the biggest population in the world, so why would
Speaker 1: you think we're all the same? Correct, it's odd. But
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see what you're doing and how you're
Speaker 1: merging the two cultures because that's important to me as
Speaker 1: somebody who straddles the line on both. Are you feeling
Speaker 1: good about it?
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's up next for you?
Speaker 3: So right now, my thing is I just launched this
Speaker 3: label with Warner Music Group, with Warner Records. Just give
Speaker 3: a shout out to my guys there, Aaron and Tom.
Speaker 3: I started this journey, like you know, fifteen years ago
Speaker 3: with Jimmy Iveen. We did everything from like Jehu to
Speaker 3: launching Priyanka, but still the platform itself, the label was failed.
Speaker 3: And here I am back here fifteen years later with
Speaker 3: a different group of people starting this journey again. So
Speaker 3: I'm like at the beginning, and then I was realized, Yeah,
Speaker 3: accomplished all these failures. They were pretty good.
Speaker 1: It seems like some pretty big wins within the last Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, no, there were some winds along the way. Now
Speaker 3: you got me focused on failures.
Speaker 1: Excellent, the lay way.
Speaker 3: Exactly focus on your failures.
Speaker 1: And just quickly you mentioned the project that you're working
Speaker 1: on now, which is new, but you didn't mention the
Speaker 1: name of it.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's five Junction Records. It's in partnership with Warner
Speaker 3: Music Group and Warner Records, and you can find us
Speaker 3: on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Five Junction. Is it the number five?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, easy enough.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so now I'm on this journey again to
Speaker 3: really sort of you know, lift the voices of South
Speaker 3: Asian people everywhere here in America. And I really believe
Speaker 3: that America is I know people hate me saying this,
Speaker 3: but I do believe that American pop culture influences the wor.
Speaker 1: I think it's our biggest export. Correct If you ever
Speaker 1: think about what is America exporting, we are exporting pop culture.
Speaker 1: And you see that when you travel the world and
Speaker 1: you see the sneakers that they're wearing, the hoodies, whatever
Speaker 1: it is. So I understand people having a problem with it,
Speaker 1: but it is a fact.
Speaker 3: Yes, So people say eighty million America is not the
Speaker 3: center of the world, like blah blah blah, and I
Speaker 3: was like, it's not the center of the world. Actually,
Speaker 3: But if I'm in the pop culture game, and I'm
Speaker 3: in the culture game, then it does start here.
Speaker 1: So what are you excited about pop culture wise that
Speaker 1: you see coming up?
Speaker 3: You know, I think we're in this really fascinating time
Speaker 3: like today that Journey's evolved so much that Pharrell is
Speaker 3: using Indian music and Indian culture and Indian clothes at
Speaker 3: the Elvie Men's fashion fashion show in Paris, and I
Speaker 3: just feel like we've really come a long way.
Speaker 1: So you're happy to see it. You don't feel like
Speaker 1: it's appropriation that pisses a lot of people off.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. No, we love that people are
Speaker 3: embracing our culture. We love that it's proliferating. And no,
Speaker 3: I'm cool with it. I don't have these hang ups
Speaker 3: about what's.
Speaker 1: It called appropriation?
Speaker 3: Appropriation in general, I'm all about sharing culture. I'm all
Speaker 3: about people embracing everybody else's culture and doing it without fear.
Speaker 3: Like I have this the Valley Party every year that
Speaker 3: I throw and like people say to me, like I
Speaker 3: have like what you know, non Indian celebrities that come,
Speaker 3: and they'll be like, I would love to wear a lenger,
Speaker 3: which is like the shoe, you know what that is,
Speaker 3: But it's like a big skirt and a little top.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's a bigger top. Or I'd love to wear
Speaker 3: a sari, or I'd love to wear this. But I
Speaker 3: don't want to be you know, appropriate, Like I don't
Speaker 3: want to culturally appropriate. And I'm like, no, just go
Speaker 3: for it, like you know, I mean, it's like I'm
Speaker 3: sitting here in a dress in a jacket. I don't
Speaker 3: feel like I'm appropriating Western culture because like I'm from India, right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And I'll make my own
Speaker 3: version of anything I want. So yeah, I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: So there's something to think about, is failure as part
Speaker 1: of success. There's something to learn how to invest and
Speaker 1: ways to invest outside of just money. Now, if you
Speaker 1: want to leave us with actionable items. If you are
Speaker 1: somebody who's trying to build a business or trying to
Speaker 1: build your brand, what do you think are the most
Speaker 1: important steps to doing that?
Speaker 3: Well, one thing I would say is like you've always
Speaker 3: just got to think really big. And I always say
Speaker 3: if you dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough.
Speaker 3: I'm always in a constant state of fear.
Speaker 1: I'm always doing things that I'm like, right now, you're scared, right,
Speaker 1: I'm Petria.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I'm always making the phone call that nobody
Speaker 3: wants to make. I'm always just like kind of in
Speaker 3: a state of fear. Like I'm always doing things that
Speaker 3: scare me. And that's okay, Like I've kind of got
Speaker 3: used to that now, that adrenaline. Maybe it's funny. My
Speaker 3: fiance is a firefighter in New York City. Shout out
Speaker 3: to him, and I feel like, you know, we both
Speaker 3: thrill seekers in totally different ways. Like he goes into
Speaker 3: burning buildings and he doesn't know if he's coming out alive.
Speaker 3: I go into phone calls or meetings and I don't
Speaker 3: know if I'm coming out alive. Not in an obviously
Speaker 3: physical way, but in an I mean, I might come
Speaker 3: up with some crazy idea that people think of is
Speaker 3: absolutely stupid, and counsel me, like you know who knows.
Speaker 3: Don't be afraid to feel scared. Like there's this quote
Speaker 3: that I live by, which is minds are like parachutes.
Speaker 3: They only operate when they're open. Your mind has to
Speaker 3: be open all the time, you know, and it might
Speaker 3: change your journey, and maybe that's exactly what you need.
Speaker 1: I think that is a great note on which to end.
Speaker 1: If people want to find you online, they want to
Speaker 1: get you to invest, or maybe they just want to
Speaker 1: follow you, how can they get ahold of you? Or
