Priyanka Carr: Thank you, Jamin, and thanks for having me.
[00:01:04]
Jamin Brazil: It is an honor. So let’s start with some context. Tell us about your parents, what they did and how that informed what you do today.
[00:01:11]
Priyanka Carr: All right. That’s a really loaded therapist question but I will start there. I was born in India. I lived there until I was about ten years old. And my parents were in import and export and did it for fruits and vegetables while we were in India. But my parents divorced around the time I was ten. I moved to the United States, to Los Angeles, with my mom and my mom kind of showed up in this country with not much to go off of, a little bit of money. And she started a business. So I’ve come from a family of business builders, people who have been scrapping and getting it done. She scaled her business to several million dollars in revenue and kind of ran it all by herself. That has been a strong influence in my life of just learning grit, resilience, and building and gave me my love for beautiful, amazing businesses that are driven by really, really smart decisions, driven by smart people who are hungry for more information. So it shapes everything that I do and the passion with which I live my life.
[00:02:18]
Jamin Brazil: It’s interesting. I’ve had quite a few guests that have come from first-generation American families. And what’s really interesting to me that’s only just now stood out is that the majority of them, the parents actually started a business here in the US as opposed to getting a job.
[00:02:34]
Priyanka Carr: Yep. In a way it’s easier.
