Kumar hails from India, where he started coding at a young age. He's had an unconventional way of learning - where he has often learned a lot he earns and leverages today completely by himself using YouTube and the Internet. Starting from making his own small side projects, now he is working as an Engineer for Airchat, a company started by Naval Ravikant, the renowned Angel Investor and Founder of AngelList. He is merely 20! Currently living in San Francisco in his gap year. This podcast's best to learn how to learn and how to build.

Episode #3: Mark Rachapoom
Mark has taken the unconventional route multiple times by self-teaching his iOS development, dropping out of university and working for Silicon Valley startups. Currently, he is building his own startup called Merce.co - we talk about it in the episode - check it out. The best thing I love about Mark is his ability to be vulnerable more than most people I have ever met and his ability to put thought before speaking his words. One of the best conversations I have ever had, beyond just this podcast.
Books recommended by Mark: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and Atomic Habits.
