Through a non linear journey, I have experienced life through many lenses; a son of immigrant parents, a DJ, a Wall Street banker, and now as a father, husband and a passionate executive of our firm PLTFRM. Inspiration for me was invaluable in growing, attracting and getting grounded to what matters the most. Magnetic is a series aimed at sharing the conversations that inspire me. I hope they do the same for you.
