  • Vivek and Vikram Nayar: The Two Robbers - Desire to Take Risks (Part 1)
    Today we’re dropping part one of a two-part episode with Vivek and Vikram Nayar. Viv and Vik are twin brothers, their parents are from South India and their family has lived in Toronto, New Delhi, New York, and Chicago.
    Viv & Vik live in Philly now and are the founders of Two-Robbers--a fast growing craft hard seltzer company based in Philly. In two years, they’ve taken an idea that came from Viv wanting a healthier alternative to beer and transformed that idea into a company & life-style brand.
    If you’re in eastern PA, the greater Philly area, and NJ, go get a six pack of Two robbers. And I'm sure they will be available in other places soon. Go follow their story on IG @two_robbers. 
    Jeremiah sat down with them at their office in Bok Building--a converted high school in South Philly that is a space for Philly businesses and community services. It’s a laid back, creative environment. You will hear the hustle of the place in the background during the episode.
    In part 1, Viv and Vik talk about where their desire for creativity & entrepreneurship came from and how 2 robbers got started. They also speak about their family and how their older brother and parents have inspired them. At the end, they’ll take a break to crack open a few more 2 robbers. We'll have the second part dropping next week. We’re excited for you to hear their SYHDE.”

  • Season 2 Intro

    Welcome to season 2 of SYHDE — the podcast that captures a moment of time in your life through audio. On SYHDE we interview people and get them to share their story for the purpose of inspiration, motivation, and human connection. We want to capture a moment in the interviewees life becuase we believe that the people around us have impactful stories, and we want to bring those stories to the world in a clear, relatable way.

    Last year during season 1, we interviewed 7 people giving them the space to reflect and share their story—where they were from, where they were at the moment of our interview, and where they wanted to go. This season, we’re sticking with that relentless focus on capturing people’s now, but we’re adding a small twist.

    On season 2, we are focusing on people who are building—people who have creative passions and who are working hard to achieve their hustles and dreams; artist, entrepreneurs, travelers, and creatives. You’ll hear their stories here. Welcome to Season 2 of SYHDE.

  • Fumnanya Ekhator: Let’s Get as Many Tools in the Toolkit
    This week our guest is Fumnanya Ekhator! She is a 27 year old Nigerian woman who’s lived in Lagos, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and D.C.. Check out her resume: she’s worked in the white-house, she’s at Penn law and is in the process of acquiring her 2nd ivy league degree, AND she has a prominent youtube Channel that’s amassed over 40 thousand subscribers to her page.
    But these accomplishments didn’t come easy—during her journey, she’s experienced moments of intense criticism for simply being herself. She’s never let that stop her from progressing though, and she’s adapted the principle that her father expressed to her at a young age—that Fumnanya has the final say on who and what she is.
