EZ27 It Started From A Comment

Came from India to solely support his family and his 11 brothers and sisters. To help them financially so that they could attend college. Once here, he was isolated and rejected for his color, his heavy accent, and was ready to go back home when someone made a comment that changed many things for him. He stayed. He persevered. And now, he sees each challenge, discrimination, favoritism, and conflicting values as a learning opportunity. In this episode of Empowering conversationZ, he talks about the comment, his mindset, discrimination, and much more. My guest this week is Kam Gupta, Management consultant, and coach.
