On this episode of the playbook, I have Sri

She von Nanda, the senior vice president and chief technology

officer of PayPal. And we're going to talk about blending curiosity and currency. Make a difference in your life. Join

me on the playbook. This is entrepreneurs the playbook. For each week I bring you

some of the greatest athletes, celebrities, and

entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to

success and what made them champions on the field and in the boardroom.

I'm your host David Melzer.

This is Dave Melter with Entrepreneurs The Playbook

and I have the Senior Vice President and CTO

of a small company that probably you haven't ever heard of

PayPal that's right Sri Shiva Nunda and I'm not gonna butcher that name

welcome to the playbook. Thank you, David.

I so much appreciate, you know, when people,

executives from companies that everybody has heard of,

you know, get an idea of how do you get that dream job because a majority of the

entrepreneurs out there they dream of escalating their career to a world-renowned

name company the Silicon Valley Company, but you still need skills, knowledge, and desire.

So I want to start there with that development.

How important or focused was the skills that you were

creating compared to attaching yourself to some big idea or dream? The skills were

very critical of course and the thing is not all of us start with the ambition of figuring out a career ahead of time.
