IAM109- Entrepreneur Creates Community of Travelers Focused on Local Cultures

I grew up in a small village outside the capital of India, where we had no running water, or electricity and didn't even have toilets – that's a story for another day but this was the beginning of my life. I moved to the US at age 12 and after college, I took up a job in the sciences that would make my parents happy. After some years of collecting courage, I quit my corporate job to pursue my passion – of which I had no idea! So I went out to find it and through many jobs and businesses, I did. That's when GLYD was conceived.

Hello, hello, hello, this is Gresh from the I AM CEO Podcast, and I have a very special guest on the show today. I have Monika Bhasin of GLYD. Monika, it's awesome to have you on the show.

Well, thank you so much, Gresham. I'm really excited to be on the show and share my insights with the community.

Gresham Harkless 0:41

Yes, I'm really excited to have you on the show and hear about all the awesome things that you're doing. And what I wanted to do was just read a little bit more about Monika, so you can hear a little bit more about all the awesome things that she's doing. And Monika grew up in a small village outside the capital of India, where they had no running water or electricity, and didn't even have toilets. But that's a story for another day. But that was the beginning of her life. And she moved to the US at the age of 12. And after college, she took up a job in the sciences that would make her parents happy. After some years of collecting courage, she quit her corporate job to pursue her passion of which she had no idea. She went on to find it and through many jobs and businesses she did and that's when GLYD was conceived. Monika, are you ready to speak to the I AM CEO community?

Monika Bhasin 1:23

Yes, I am. I'm excited.

Gresham Harkless 1:25

Awesome. Let's do it. So, the first question I had is I wanted to hear a little bit more about your story, your CEO story, and what led you to start your business.
