Dream Shakerz Weekly Shakedown 08-07-21

In this episode, we'll be connecting with Khalil R. Bilal, a current Associate at TCV and Board Member of TxtCart and Fitted Laundry. During the show, Kahlil discussed how he uncovered his interest in finance and investing, his path from investment banking to growth equity, and how he balanced the demands of banking with personal responsibilities such as being a Father and plotting out his career journey. The level - up is'nt present this week, but we'll be back with a full set of opportunities next week. 

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the Dream Shakerz Podcast, our weekly show that covers technology, venture capital, and professional development from the vantage point of an ex-banker whose since switched to overseeing operations at a startup and a former management consultant whose in the midst of transitioning to graduate school to study human-computer interaction and design. As young black men, we realized that there was a void in regards to content creators who came from impoverished backgrounds but have also found success in professional spaces while staying true to who they are as people. We want to inform you, our audience, that your beginnings should not rule out certain career paths and that professional success doesn't necessarily mean you have to cut off all cultural ties. Given our success in plotting a course from public housing units in the Bronx to programs at Harvard, we believe we can effectively speak to this need.
