from Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong

"Specialization is for insects. You can be an investment banker and an actor. A Navy SEAL and an author. A film director and a football coach. Don't buy into the myth that you have to over-specialize." – Abhi PrakashJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and three outliers who are building worlds from scratch, Unni Rav, Shawn Flynn and Abhi Prakash. In this episode, they go all the way in on the thing nobody talks about enough: what it actually takes to keep growing when the problems get bigger, the stakes get higher, and you're doing something most people around you have never done before. From M&A deals that carry the weight of 200 families, to standing in front of a camera for the second time ever, to coaching JV basketball while building AI companies. This one hits different.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
