Today, Sidd and I talk about the idea of adversity and his experiences in overcoming it as a new entrepreneur and a student. In our conversation, Sidd introduced me to a phrase that’s been stuck in my head ever since our discussions - called the “Black Swan Moment” A black swan moment is essentially an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Sidd argues that everyone has their own “personal” black swan moments that push them to grow and overcome adversity. Enjoy the show!

In this episode, Sidd sits down with us to discuss the concept of mentorship.

In this pilot episode, we will delve into the life and philosophies of Sidd Ahmed, this season's mentor. Sidd will walk us through his childhood in Trichy, the beginnings of his company (VDart Inc.), and a typical day in his life.

We hope that this episode will shed some light on our reasoning for choosing to tell Sidd's story the way that we do, and what can be expected from this season's future. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoy making it!
