Episode 2: Starting a Start-Up, Pursuing Engineering & Enjoying The Journey

Hi friendsss! This is the 2nd episode of Running Late, brought to you by Emel Khan. This episode features Ayo Aigbe, also known as @ayodeleaigbe on Instagram. She’s the founder of @shophangio which is the all-in-one hanger of your dreams. She's an entrepreneur, engineer, student, inventor, STEM advocate and one of the most positive and encouraging people you’ll ever come across. She was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about her experiences with starting a business, finding her path towards engineering, enjoying the journey and our collective lack of knowledge on music these days. ✨ • The overall theme of our conversation was "enjoying the journey" 💜 Here are a few of the specifics mentioned in the show: Sources talked about: 2:00: How we met at Aron Placencia's event -- he's the CEO & Founder of Roleplay (https://roleplay.co/) 16:00: https://missmuslim.nyc/look-good-feel-good/ 35:00: Discussing the old Tumblr days 37:00: MYSPACE!! 48:00: Her favorite artist. Hint hint, it's H.I.M 50:00: We try to figure out 6ix9ine’s name (we figured it out now) end up confusing him with Chris Brown, Kodak Black and and XXXtenation (which we thought was pronounced extension) and ended up calling him Mr. 69. It's honestly the most embarrassing thing I'm putting on the internet.  53: We also talked about how I once thought a friend of mine ended up buying a Bugatti because of an IG photo (it ended up just being a song by Ace Hood) 56:00: Our love for calendar invites  Bonus: Take a shot every time you hear me say the word "yeah" Connect with Emel: Email Me / Send Music: emelkhancollabs@gmail.com Tweet Me: http://twitter.com/RunningLatePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RunningLatePodcast Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/itsemelkhan/ Facebook: http://facebook.com/RunningLatePodcast Use the hashtags #runninglatepodcast, #runninglatewithemel and #RLWE to discuss us on Twitter, FB and IG!

It’s the hoops you have to go through, it’s the things you have to tackle, it’s the person you’re becoming. That’s what’s interesting."
