The All Immigrant Podcast

Traversing continents does come with its own set of challenges to overcome, especially the moving and growing pains this brings. Finding strength and building resilience is a key trait that all successful persons share. But how does one defy the odds to build these traits into their story, and how much of it is nature versus nurture?

Immigration is usually driven by a need to find a better life or access to better opportunities. On this podcast thus far, we have interviewed immigrants on their journeys and experiences as they traversed continents. However, sometimes, where we currently are might be the best place for us, and our desire to leave could stem from the fact that the 'grass seems greener on the other side'.

Join us on this week's episode as we speak with Brendan Rogers, Founder of 2AM VC, as he takes us through his journey and investment philosophy, and why he believes India has the most untapped potential for an entrepreneur.

Moving countries involves adapting to new norms and cultures, connecting with people who have had different life experiences than you to find common ground, and learning to fend for yourself in a new country. Doing it more than once creates more complexity and can either make you stronger than ever or break you down. Adversity, if taken the right way, often sets you up for the next achievement.
