What shaped Naveen Jain's entrepreneurial mindset?
It's really the strings of experiences, first of all, that makes you who you are. You know, a lot of us tend to go back and trying to find that one single moment that changed us, right? And it comes from this philosophy that we constantly keep saying, it's the last straw that breaks the camel's back. And we all know that it's never the last straw that breaks the camel back. It's all the other straws that were there before, right? So it's really the strings of experiences together that makes us who we are. Every experience in childhood that you have, good, bad, how your parents actually nurture you. And then as we get along, I would love to tell you a little bit more about this idea of counterintuitive parenting and how we incorporate that into our own world.
Because, you know, when you are born and when your kids are born, they don't come with a user manual. It's not like, here's who I am, here's how you operate me, and here is my user manual, right? I wish. I wish, right? The point is, we all wish that way, but that's not how it happens. And we do our best to raise children. But what's really interesting is that If you grow up in humble beginnings like many of us do on who are the first time entrepreneurs, we all grow up in very humble beginnings. And we believe that shapes us who we become because we still have that hunger, that desire to actually do something. And it could be a desire to obviously be financially successful. But as you will learn, making money is simply a byproduct of doing things that improve other people's lives. And I'll give you how I look at starting every venture. I can't find wood here anymore in the office. Here, I have one for you. Here you go. It's a knock on wood. Every company so far I've started has been wildly successful.
You know, there is a method to the madness of how do you think about these audacious moonshot ideas? And I'll give you the framework for that. And then as we go along and we'll talk about that, now that once you become successful, how do you start to bring that type of hunger into the children? And how would you go about doing that? So with that, first of all, I want to thank you, Ilana, for hosting me here. You have been an unbelievable mentor to millions of people who listen to your podcast. And the fact that you're dedicating your life to improving other people's life is something that everyone could learn from. So it's not what I'm going to tell you that is going to be important. It is everyone who is listening to you every single episode. They need to know that your sincere desire to help the humanity, to help everyone who's listening to it, make them better with every guest. You give your time. The most important thing you have in your life, your time to actually doing it for others, someone else. And that to me is so commendable. So my hat's off to you and thank you.
