The Great Nepali Diaspora: Goals, Guilt, and "Giving back" with Preeti Adhikary

This last week has people questioning ideas that this episode speaks directly to. First, what role can (and should) Non-Residential Nepalis and the Nepali Diaspora play in Nepal's growth story? Second, the struggle of Nepali entrepreneurs and the realities of doing business in Nepal.  In this episode, we speak with Preeti Adhikary, founder of The Great Nepali Diaspora, about why creating a platform for professionals in the diaspora, to share their expertise and lift each other up, is an idea whose time has truly come. Preeti talks about why the diaspora needs to take ownership of its own narrative and "at least give ourselves a chance if we are to succeed as a community". We talk about what intentional collective success looks like and why she continues to be an optimist.  Show recommendations include:  Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know, Malcolm Gladwell Boju Bajai The Legend of Vox Machina
