"In the years after 9/11, Muslims in America had to defend Islam, almost on a weekly basis" This week on the Pod - What was is like to grow up in America, post 9/11, how did 9/11 shake up the American Muslim community, and is Donald Trump being elected President, actually a good thing? And will America have a Muslim President in our lifetime? We speak with friend of the Pod, Shams Malik to help get answers to these questions, and better understand what the future might hold for Muslims in an increasingly divided America

In this week's episode, we speak with Pakistan's rising stand-up comic, motivational speaker, corporate slave, and host of a new groundbreaking late-night web-series, Tabish Ahmad Hashmi. We talk about a broad range of topics - Pakistan and its neighbor's stand-up culture, the struggles of challenging societal norms, why we have probably lost our sense of humor, and how the term 'liberal' has been demonized, and attached with anything that does not confirm to myopic societal norms. *The conversation contains a tiny big of vulgarity (strong language), but a lot of adult talk*.

It's here! In our first conversation, we talk to Sennen Desouza. Sennen is the Co-founder and Business Development Director at InvestorsLounge.com and a pioneer of the Zero to One Disrupt Conference. InvestorsLounge is a market leading analytics platform for institutional and private investors in the Pakistan. One of the first Incubatees of The Nest i/O, Investors Lounge has gone from strength to strength, serving close to 16,000 institutional investors today. We talk about how Sennen and team found their product market fit, overcame substantial challenges, and what lies ahead for this promising venture. We also discuss the recent evolution of the Pakistani start-up ecosystem, the ample that opportunities exist, the good and the bad about working with different kinds of investors, court cases, and intellectual property rights among other things. But most importantly, we talk about how Pakistani entrepreneurship is really, JUST GETTING STARTED!
