"I did an internship with Merrill Lynch after my freshman year in, uh, Los Angeles, in downtown la."

"I'm running three different agencies that all help businesses grow, create more revenue opportunities as well as operating more efficiently."

"there isn't really a lot of predictable structure and a set routine. A lot of it is just on a day, day-to-day basis."

"Being able to really be disciplined in your schedule and have time blocks set for certain tasks."

"I think the freedom to innovate and, uh, be able to do things as I see fit or how I think that is the best way to per, uh, pursue something."

"but that, you know, that does set the foundation for success down the road. And so the idea is that you won't be working as much later on."

"The pace of things and how quickly things are changing. It's really dynamic."

"The people that typically thrive would be the ones that are curious. They're really self-motivated and driven, uh, and resilient."

"The experience that they gained from doing that and throwing themself in the fire was a lot more advantageous than if they were to work for someone."

"There's a ton of resources and tools that you can learn how to do this. I'm happy to help anyone interested in starting their own agency."

"The opportunity cost of inaction or delayed action."

"All the different extracurricular activities definitely helped."

"I was always raised with a close, you know, sense of a very strong sense of identity and ties to Bangladesh"

"The level of detail in the program is beneficial and prepared me for what I'm doing now."
