my takeaways from the 2019 Forbes Under 30 Summit

I had the great fortune of being recognized as a Forbes Under 30 Scholar this past October, which meant I was selected as one of 1000 students out of 20,000 applications to attend the 2019 Forbes Under 30 Summit in Detroit Oct 26-30th. I recognize my privilege in being able to attend this event, I wanted to democratize/decentralize my learnings.

I put together a presentation on my takeaways & key quotes from the Forbes Under 30 Summit here:

My main takeaways from the event were:

1. recouple my personal & professional selves by using radical transparency to share my narrative
2. i belong in this investing room, even if i feel impostor syndrome sometimes (everyone feels that way at some point)
3. recognizing the innate humanity in people, regardless of their status/celebrity *everyone puts their pants on the same way in the mornings

Special thanks to Forbes & the SDSU Lavin Entrepreneurship Center for sponsoring my trip to Detroit to attend this event!
