Vivian sits down for an honest conversation with Zarna and Zoya Garg, the hilarious mother-daughter duo redefining what it means to build wealth, legacy, and success on your own timeline. Zarna went from Mumbai to Ohio, from lawyer to matchmaking entrepreneur to selling out comedy shows at 40—proving it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Now, she's touring with comedy legends, landing Hulu specials, and her daughter Zoya is right there building her company alongside her. Together, they're breaking down the immigrant money mindset, the real cost of chasing your dreams mid-life, and why the timeline we're sold for success is complete BS.

In this episode, you'll learn:

The financial reality of reinvention, what it actually takes to walk away from a stable career at 40.
How immigrant family dynamics shape your relationship with money, risk, and ambition: from the pressure to pursue "safe" careers to navigating conversations about wealth, inheritance, and financial independence across generations.
What happens when you build a family business in the age of "nepo baby" discourse, how Zoya convinced her traditionally-minded mom she was the best person to grow the Garg empire, the money conversations every family should be having (but aren't), and why betting on yourself and your people might be the smartest financial move you ever make.
