EP07: Why 30 Good Tries Might Change Your Life with Jamyang Tenzin

from Sontsa Podcast: Rooted & Rising · host Sontsa Initiative

“You have to give it 30 good tries. In that 30, you'll get like three. And with those three, it will change your life.”In this episode of the Sontsa Podcast, we sit down with Jamyang Tenzin, Director of Growth and Head of AI at Rose Rocket, former founder of Centro, and longtime mentor and community builder within the Tibetan diaspora.In conversation with our co-hosts Tenzin Gyaltsen and Kalden Namgyal, Jamyang reflects on his journey from Dharamshala to Toronto, sharing stories of growing up as one of the only Tibetans in his school, navigating university, building a startup, and finding his place in the tech industry.Throughout the conversation, Jamyang shares lessons on networking, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and the importance of creating opportunities for yourself and others. From sending cold messages and building relationships to embracing failure and taking chances, he explains why some of life's biggest opportunities come from simply putting yourself out there.But more than a conversation about careers or startups, this episode is about identity, belonging, and community. We explore what it means to embrace your Tibetan identity, the power of mentorship, and why investing in the next generation is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back.EP07: Why 30 Good Tries Might Change Your Life with Jamyang TenzinConnect with Jamyang Tenzin on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamyangtenzin/About the Sontsa PodcastSontsa Podcast: Rooted & Rising is a new initiative by the Sontsa Initiative that highlights stories of Tibetans who are building, creating, and leading across different fields.Our goal is simple: to share real journeys, spark ideas, and inspire young Tibetans to imagine new possibilities for themselves and their communities.⸻About Sontsa InitiativeSontsa Initiative is a voluntary Tibetan youth-led initiative that supports Tibetan students in exile through mentorship, college guidance, and community building.
