Trying Something Different

What do Joe Rogan and Dax Shepard all have in common? Oh thats right, they host their own podcasts! Enter Bharath Kumar, Sanmoy Karmakar, and yours truly as we try our luck with our own podcast. We are calling it The Money Sitters, and it’s already available on all major platforms, just visit our Anchor if you want to take a listen. Bharath, Sanmoy, and I are all freshman at Tepper aspiring to break into the Finance industry. Being students at CMU, there is always the looming option of being an entrepreneur in the back of your head. I don’t mean looming in a bad way, but instead a drive to work for yourself and start something meaningful. Our goal with this podcast is not only to keep our audience posted and educated about the ongoings within the Finance industry, but also learn with them as we aspire to find a problem we can solve.

The Plan

So thats the big picture, but let me dive into whats happening as of now. As I mentioned earlier we are available on Spotify, Google, and some other platforms with Apple coming soon. Our intent is to pick a topic like VC, tariffs, politics in the market, or even FinTech every week to discuss within the episode. All episodes will begin with a short intro about what’s to come, and progress into a discussion about the week’s topic. Episodes will end with a weekly recap of the market, some big M&A’s, and a weekly fun fact of some sort.

Current Stage

Our first two episodes so far have been an Introduction and another on Tariffs. I don’t want to spoil too much, but we discussed the effects of the presidential election in the first episode, and looked at the implication of tariffs in the second. Like I said though, I am not here to spoil them but instead invite all of you to go take a listen. We would sincerely appreciate if you all could give us feedback on how we can improve down the line, it would go a long way.

Connect With Us

As I mentioned earlier, if you are looking to take a listen just hit our Anchor link and find the platform that works best for you. Also while you are at it, hit us up on instagram for the latest updates on our progress and a chance to recommend an idea for future episodes.

So that’s the Money Sitters. We are signing off for now, thank you for taking your time to read this! We hope you enjoy our content going forward.

Project Consultant at Axtria, Inc.

A Bridgewater, New Jersey native, Adi holds a passion to solve problems at the cross section of business and technology, pursuing his goals at the Tepper School of Business. As of now his plan is to concentrate in Finance and Business Technology Analytics, along with a minor in Computational Finance during his next four years at CMU. Just barely dipping his feet into the water here at Carnegie Mellon, Adi is also a member of the Scottie Ventures organization. In the past, he has worked with a generation Z based marketing consultancy agency and even a cloud based data science startup in the past. Some of his hobbies include cooking, where he excels especially with Mexican cuisine. A former tennis player, Adi also enjoys getting onto the court and playing tennis when he gets the chance. His favorite activity, however, is hiking as he loves exploring new corners of the world and the majesty of mother nature no matter the location. Even hiking, though, does not compare to his love for food regardless of the cuisine. He prefers spice, but desserts are just as satisfying, always looking for something new to experiment with.
