I have been thinking about this project for about 5 years now, it's something I debated my self when I was leaving medicine. the goal of this series is to explore all the non traditional career options that we didn't hear about/know about as brown/south asian kids (all we heard/knew about was doctor, lawyer or engineer) and do this by actually speaking to people in those careers to get a true insight on what they do, how they got there and the struggles they faced.

EP.10 - NABIL ZAIDI | Co-Founder & Design at Profound Co
<p>So excited to have NABIL ZAIDI on the podcast to share his story and his journey This one is different, he dropped out of college to pursue building Profound, a brand that he started with his 2 cousins when he was only 18 years old We talk about him starting the brand at such a young age, the struggles he faced with his parents not understanding what he was building with his co-founders especially since he decided to drop out of college to pursue it full time We dive deep into what his day to day actually looks like and what it takes to get your brand into stores like Saks Fifth Ave, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and having celebrities such as Future, Nav, Lil Uzi and Gigi wearing their cloths For me personally, this conversation was really special. Throughout the years I have seen so many people start brands that went nowhere but seeing the success they have attained and to learn what it took to make Profound what it is now was really special Best way to reach out: IG: @nabilzaidi Twitter: @nabilzaidi</p>

EP.09 - WASEEM STARK | Record Producer, Songwriter & Ad Agency Executive
<p>Man is this episode so special in so many ways. I can not explain how much fun it was to record this with Waseem, not only is he a super talented record producer, songwriter and an ad executive, he is one hell of a storyteller. There is so much great information, entertainment and me laughing in this episode.</p> <p>We actually explore so much more than the usual topics (if being a doctor was part of his journey, how his parents feel about his careers, the struggles he faced in music and advertising, and the advice he has for others who want to follow in his footsteps) but we go into some really fun tangents relating to why he hates Jimmy Fallon, the importance of skincare, disciplining your kids, the best fried chicken sandwich and even the smell of balls 🤣</p> <p>Really hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did while I was recording it!!</p> <p>✉️: WaseemStark@gmail.com IG: @waseemstark</p>
