I lost my voice just before my podcast, but the invite is still valid!

The journey begins! 🎙️ ​I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new podcast, "Verso Talk with Aytakin", a platform dedicated to sharing the untold stories of INFLUENTIAL IMMIGRANT LEADERS. The "Verso Talk with Aytakin" podcast is all about real conversations, genuine emotions, and the journeys that make us even stronger as IMMIGRANT LEADERS. Each episode will explore the triumphs, failures, and choices these leaders have made along the way today. ​Through “Verso Talk with Aytakin,” I aim to amplify the voices of SUCCESSFUL IMMIGRANT leaders who have faced obstacles and hardships & persevered to make a difference in the world. Once a week, I will publish an interview with successful immigrant leaders who are INVESTORS, FOUNDERS, and EXECUTIVES in Tech. Each episode will explore the triumphs, failures, and choices immigrant leaders have made along the way today. To mark this exciting milestone, I’m hosting a special podcast launch event at a private venue in Silicon Valley! ​It will be a day filled with meaningful conversations, an elegant ambiance, delicious food and beverages, and opportunities to connect with some of the most inspiring minds. ​The event will kick off with an engaging panel discussion featuring immigrant investors who will share their journeys, insights, and advice. This will be followed by a relaxed and elegant networking session, dinner, and beverages to mingle, share ideas, and make lasting connections. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSO TALK SHOW ​“Verso” means “the unseen or opposite side”. Through this podcast, I aim to create a space where immigrant leaders can reveal the parts of their journeys that often go unnoticed. ​Beyond titles & achievements, Verso Talk will dive deep into the experiences, the struggles, and the pivotal choices that have shaped who they are today. ​"Inclusion starts with listening. Let's ensure every immigrant's voice is heard and celebrated."
