Worst investment ever

Sourabh’s worst investment ever was studying engineering, not out of choice, but because it’s what society expected of him. Sourabh started college during the 2007/08 recession. When he finished college in 2011, there were no jobs.

Sourabh believes he should have invested the four years of college in a much better way of knowing himself.

Lessons learned
  • Take a pause, shut out all influence, think about what is best for you and jot down whatever comes to mind.
  • If you go to college, go for your happiness, not to show people that you went to an Ivy League college.
  • Make yourself a priority in your 20s. Build yourself, your joy, your learning, your career, and your growth, irrespective of what somebody else is doing.

Andrew’s takeaways
  • The foundation that we get from our parents is the foundation that we carry throughout our lives.
  • Build a trusting family because that’s the ultimate strength to take you through life.

Actionable advice

Growth = mindset + skill set + tools.

No.1 goal for the next 12 months

Sourabh’s goal for the next 12 months is to scale his community. He plans to hold many meetups and meet with at least 10,000 people across Dubai, the UK, the US, and Asia to bring them together and build a support system for each other.
