Main Takeaways:

• Third Culture Child refers to a person whose parents are from two different cultures and the child themself is from a third, different culture.
• When you truly feel called to pursue something, you should go for it. If it doesn’t work out, you can always come back to where you’re currently at.
• For most businesses, bootstrapping is the most sustainable method to grow.
• Don’t let the shiny object syndrome slow down the growth of your existing business. Continue to learn and drive your current business towards better opportunities.
• As a rule of thumb, ensure that you maintain a written record of all the communications so that there’s a clear set of expectations on what each person’s responsibility is.
