THE HOSTS
Raj "Work In Progress" Parekh
My day job is mostly cleaning up excel spreadsheets and powerpoint slides for important people in fancy suits. But hey, it’s an honest 9-hour workday so I’m not complaining! I graduated from UC Irvine where I picked up 3 degrees along with a specialization in boba and coffee consumption.
Outside of work and this podcast, I love spending time with books, espresso machines and PS4 (where I’m currently trying to get good at Rocket League). I also enjoy cooking as well as going out to try new cuisines. I grew up in Mumbai, India, went to college in Southern California and then moved to the Big Apple, so I guess what I’m trying to say is I moved from Bollywood to Hollywood to the home of Tony Stark.
Sanchit "Trainwreck" Wadhawan
My official job title is “analyst”, but these days, whose isn’t? At present, I do my analyzing at a large consulting firm. I graduated from The Ohio State University where I majored in business, watched a lot of football, and complained about depressing weather. My hometown is Knoxville, TN, but I pay rent in Atlanta these days.
In my free time, I enjoy listening to music and audiobooks, often while cooking or doing chores. I love hiking which is great since I can see Smoky Mountains from my neighborhood on a clear enough day. I go to a lot of fancy coffee shops but my favorite coffee experience is still getting endless refills at Waffle House with a side of hash browns.
