#36: Eric Wei - A Harvard Graduate And $30M Startup Founder Explains Why Success Makes You Miserable

Eric Wei ( @erictway ) is the Co Founder of Karat Financial, A company that helps creators and influencers with their very own credit card, taxes, and bookkeeping. The company has raised over $30M from from Union Square Ventures and Y Combinator, and previous founders/CEOs from Twitch, Twitter, and YouTube. Before Founding Karat, he worked at Instagram and Facebook, and graduated from Harvard University. In this podcast, we go over why formal education (and a perfect SAT score) doesn't translate well to the real world, how his competitiveness formed due to a lack of validation, learning to untie your self worth to external accomplishments, improving communication skills and making friends, and why he started his financial company.
