Sandra, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you so much for having me. That was a really epic intro. I'm gonna have you rewrite all my bios for me.

I am more than happy to do that for you. I always view myself I've always wanted to be, like, an actor on stage and all this, but I I love hip hop. So I'm I'm like I have my own podcast. I can be that radio, that TV personality, but I always love the hype person before the the rapper comes out or just during the show just hyping you up. So I look at myself as a hype person for my podcast guest. Yeah. If you want, I'm very cheap to hire. Well, not cheap.

I'm inexpensive. Don't like we're cheap. I'm inexpensive to hire, and I'll be more than happy to help, push you to the grandest stages of them all before you come talking on them.

Everybody needs a hype man. I was just thinking we the the the gym I go to, there's a gentleman there who every day he's wearing a bright neon yellowish green shirt, like, multiple layers of them, and he just it's like he makes every single person in the room feel like the most special person in the room whenever he's talking to them, and he's always, like, dancing and moving around. And I was saying yesterday, I'm like, man, this I need to hire him as, like, my hype man just to follow me around. And I think we all need one. Like, we all need our personal Paul to be our hype man. Like, people like that are just so so great.

They're they're great to have in your lives because you you know it when you're doing bad, you just call them up and then boom, your your level of happiness just goes up and you forget how you were sad.

Like, I'd like to place an order for a pep talk, please. Okay.

Let's do that. Talk with Phil. But yeah. So now that we've we've we've hyped you up, Sandra, I wanna know why did you become an entrepreneur?

Oh, man. When now that I look back, you know, with the with the wisdom of hindsight, it it's like the signs were there very early on. I didn't I wouldn't have known how to understand the cues early on though. So I just kinda was bumbling my way through my, you know, my childhood and my upbringing in my early twenties. But the the first sort of clues that started to push me in the direction of entrepreneur were some like you mentioned, I'm born in Scandinavia, but raised in LA. So just right off the bat, I moved to LA when I was 5. And so I've always lived, not like a double life, but, you know, I've gone back and forth and I have family in 2 places, in 2 cultures. And so as soon as I started kind of getting ready to graduate high school and think about college and think about career and job and things like that, I was like, this whole kind of American system of 2 weeks of vacation per year, I was like, that's that's just not gonna work for me.

I mean, a lot of other countries are a lot better about more vacation, but, you know, the standard kind of very I was just like, that's not gonna work. How am I gonna and so that was kind of the first clue of like the the the normal 9 to 5 corporate thing might not be on the table, but that I had no clue what anything that was not that was. You know? So I was like, okay. I coulda had that tucked away. And then another clue was after college, I got recruited by some friends who are hung out with, like, a lot of really nerdy computer science programmer dudes. And, they recruited me to a startup of theirs. And then I moved from LA to San Francisco, and I got recruited by some other friends into another startup. And I really liked being around.

I just thought they were, you know, people were doing cool things. They were like innovators. They were, you know, challenging the status quo. They were kind of disruptors. And so I just like being around that energy, and I thought I was like, I just like being around these, like, smart, nerdy people doing cool shit. You know? Like, that's what I figured. And then after a while I was like wait a minute. The the analogy was like, someone who's a nanny and loves taking care of other people's babies all the time.
