Unscripted and In The Room

This episode is for you if you're navigating the world of AI like the rest of us (yes, even if you're in tech). Join Rucha as she talks to Silvia Diaz Roa, a VP of Startup Banking at JP Morgan, 2x Founder, and Speaker about what we love and hate about AI, how AI can make your work and life easier. This was really fun to make and I hope you tune in and love listening to it as you navigate the world of AI.

What if the secret to building a multi-million dollar brand wasn't a perfect plan but an unshakeable belief that everything would work out?

This episode, I'm joined by Jade Begwin, founder of 4AM Skin. She recently landed her brand in over 1000+ Target stores nationwide with her co-founder, Dr. Sabrina Sadeghian and has created a new category of skincare after closing a $4M round.

Jade takes us into the nitty gritty of what it actually takes to formulate something you'll put your name behind and land in the hands of every girl in NYC.

Expect the technical, unglamorous work and some funny stories behind what "overnight success" really looks like.

Unscripted and In The Room, where we skip the highlight reel and get into what actually happened, and how we got here.

Rucha dives into the popular message being told to us about our 20s being the best years before everything turns bad. Tune into this episode to gain insights on all things dating in your 20s, being at different stages of life post grad, and everything in between to truly conquer this messy part of your life to set a great foundation for yourself.
