Rapid Fire:

• The hardest thing about your job? 
  • It’s the fact that I'm basically now doing these two jobs. And I'm trying to be good at both of them and better and better every passing day. But there are only 24 hours in a day. So, the hardest thing is prioritizing by constantly wanting to do both Netflix and investing really, really well. 
• One book or a blog that has influenced you personally and professionally?
  • Built to Last, I can think of many built to last, Principles by Ray Dalio, Crossing the Chasm.
• Your most favourite superhero?
  • I probably don't have a favourite superhero. But if I had to pick one, it would be Batman.
