And so I appreciate that as well. I'm excited today to be talking to Sukinder Singh Cassidy. I hope I got your name correct.

You did just like it's awesome.

Sukinder is a leading tech exec entrepreneur, investor, board member. She got over 25 years of experience with a couple of small companies such as Google, Amazon, Yodely.

She's recently served as president of StubHub. We've heard of that. I helped to sell that in 2020 for a few billion bucks.

And that company has thrived under her leadership. She's the founder and chairman of the board list. She's been profiled in many, many publications and has a new book out called Choose Possibility, which I'm excited to talk about.

Sukinder, thanks so much for your time and for doing this podcast while you're traveling in LA from a hotel room.

I wish I could come to San Diego next time, but thank you for having me.

Yeah, no, I appreciate that.

So there's a lot that we could talk about, but I always like to kind of start out just getting to know and having the listeners just get to know a little bit about why you became who you are today.

Like what were your formative experiences, you know, both the good and the bad, the challenges as well as the opportunities that you're presented with that helps you become a tech executive and entrepreneur and then you know rise to these highest of ranks, so to speak in the corporate world.

Well, it's a flatter way to describe it, but let's go with that. Let's go with that. Let's go with it. So first and foremost, I always say to people, if you want to know what formed me, like many people, I am the daughter of entrepreneurs in particular, my father and my parents were both medical doctors who immigrated to Canada when I was young from Africa.

But my dad loved running medical practice as much as he loved serving people and he loved the fact that it was a small business.

When I was, I don't know, I would say to people when I was six or seven, not six or seven, maybe seven or eight, my dad started us all doing like entries into his ledger.

So at the tax time, you know, because you remember you still like used to write out like double entry bookkeeping.

It's absolutely true. So he had his whole family deal. We were three girls and we would all be entering, you know, we do his ledger expenses from his checkbook.

And by the time it was 12 or 13, I probably understood how to do his tax return. And so what does that have to do with possibility and being an entrepreneur and like turns out it's everything, right?

Because when you witness somebody who goes to work every day on the one hand dreams of building a big business, my dad dreamed of opening like walk in clinics, probably 15 years before that became a mainstream business concept.
