  3. The High Flyers Podcast with Vidit Agarwal Podcast
  4. Minal Mehta - Pan Asia upbringing, scaling next billion users for YouTube, tech in the early 2000's vs now, career coach at Harvard & Founding TakeTwo!

Take flight into Minal's journey -- growing up in India,
 learning ambition and owning yourself from her mother and
the drive to be better from her father; and then going to
Singapore to finish her last years of high school! 


Post high school, Minal secured a full scholar to Stanford
University, which started her journey in the US and Minal’s foray
into tech in the early 2000’s working at Expedia and Amazon in
the early days, then doing an MBA at Harvard followed by exciting
roles at the likes of LinkedIn and Youtube leading product
including building YouTube for the next billion users.


I also asked Minal about the creator economy, how to build a life
post MBA, advice for new graduates, and hear about Take Two, the
new venture Minal is building with two co-founders!
