Welcome to the FIRM podcast. In this first season, I sit down with San Jose entrepreneurs and creatives to talk about life, their inspirations, and come-up stories. I'm excited for this first season because during this time, with a global pandemic in the forefront, we can all use a little encouragement to get us through. My goal for this podcast is to inspire folks to chase their passions. The guests on this show embody the fabric that makes up this beautiful city, and I can't wait to share their stories with you all.
