Tiffany Zhong (Ep. 42): Your unique perspective
Listen now
Description
The Wall Street Journal called Tiffany Zhong Venture Capital's Teenage Analyst.  At 21, she's worked at Product Hunt, sourced consumer investments, and is the founder of Zebra Intelligence, a consulting firm for brands trying to understand Gen Z. Her journey starts on Twitter where as a teenager she engaged prominent VCs and tech founders, asking them about their businesses and sharing her views on apps and products. Tiffany gives us both a networking and Twitter 101 as she shares the importance of (digital) emotional intelligence, leading with the question “how can I be helpful” and how, irrespective of your age, everyone has at least one thing they can bring to a conversation: Perspective. Tiffany dropped out of Berkeley after a year and we discuss different learning methods, the importance of college, and how she feels about the lack of a safety net in a degree. Tiffany discusses college students and teens - the "side hustle generation," deft at building e-commerce companies and leveraging their social followings to make money. We also discuss the Gen Z stereotypes of attention, entitlement, and anxiety - and how Gen X'ers should not call Lil Pump, Little Pump. + SHOWNOTES: http://rad.family/tiffany-zhong/ + LOOKING FOR A COACH?
