Episode 11 w/ Jay Parmar
How often do you wish you could balance family life with the work grind? And how often do you dream of doing it all while you travel the world?
Meet our featured guest, Jayesh Parmar. Jay is the former CEO/co-founder of Picatic.com, which Eventbrite acquired in 2018. He’s an active investor and has jumped back into the Co-CEO /co-founder role at Gunkii, the company that makes the world’s “sexiest” tongue scraper.
In this interview, Jay reflects on how he began his journey into entrepreneurship and it didn’t start so well. However, he persevered and grew it enough to sell it to one of the world’s biggest event ticketing companies. He’ll take you through the ups and downs, and the ins and outs of how he did it.
Jay focuses his insights around the “life design systems” he has built with his wife to successfully balance their latest venture with frequent travel and raising a child in different cities.
Jay gives you tactics and mindset hacks to work optimally without being distracted or overworking yourself — so that you can blend your work life with family life and still have the capacity to be of service to others.
