ani sanyal (@anihustles) is the real deal. he embodies true entrepreneurship to the core, from the mindset, to the action, to everything in between, and he's our special guest for today's pod! ani is the co-founder of nyc-based kolkata chai co and run several 6 and 7 fig businesses, but he's lived through a rollercoaster of a life to gain the wisdom and expertise that he's gifted us in this episode. 

growing up in massachusetts, ani shares his battle with identity and connection to hip hop culture, which built the tenets he continues to live by. soon after graduating from nyu just to quit his 9-5 after, he lived by the dollar to pursue his dreams as an artist and record label owner, being invited to tour overseas where he faced real adversity with end-stage kidney failure. 

his story is inspirational to everyone from the commoner to the most wise, and we hope u enjoy this convo as much as we did :)
