Hanging out with Zareen Khan

The Hangout with Rushdi

Hey guys, I sit down with Zareen Khan from W2W Events whom I think is such an unsung hero. All links to her are below and you google w2w events if you are too lazy to copy, paste or the links don’t work for some reason. What she and her company does. Most importantly her “Why” and how gender does play a role – 04:20 We talk about what Zareen’s work consists of, her company W2W which helps set up businesses and helps them run as opposed to a company that just charges one to open up after having ticked the boxes and paying a fee. We talk about perspective from both genders and the possible challenges people might depending on your gender and race. Also, I have to note that now she has branched out to other things as well, most importantly into something like PR which is what a lot of artists lack in knowledge as well as in a networking sense, hats off to what shes achieved and the community she’s formed. “Enough of surviving, it’s time to thrive” – Zareen How Zareen’s journey began – 18:57 She couldn’t sing to her radio.. that’s about it. And even better, I totally understood what she meant by that. Why start a company (W2W) to help assisting other when profits are not the drive - 21:43 She goes into how she operates and the challenges faced, which is not completely unknown but actually quite popular such as a network that turns over due to time and the region we operate in. The hype of entrepreneurship – Reality vs Instagram - 29:41 How there is no running away from social media mediums playing an important role in business and entrepreneurship. Also how there has to be accountability and perhaps a governing body to ensure that the person and products have ticked off certain boxes before being unleashed into the world. She shares her perspective of being an entrepreneur and how it’s going overall. Social Media Influencers (SMI) and what exactly are they? – 44:22 Why does feminism get a bad rap? - 55:40 We cover a variety of subtopics once this Pandora’s box opens. Random topic - “When are you getting marriage?” - 1:11:30 Quite a rabbit hole we jumped into but with Zareen it was so enjoyable to have this conversation and she tells us the torment she goes through which Bub and I thoroughly enjoyed because we realized we weren’t the only ones who goes through this. What is the definition of a relationship to millennial’s or in this day and age? - 1:21:36 Bub was flabbergasted at the telepathic connection Zareen and I make on this topic especially with #couplegoals. We discuss what we think is going on with relationships at this point in time and also share our own experiences. Zareen shares “horror” story of a date – 1:28:49 I think I owe Zareen a treat for sharing such a gem and guys listening please take notes if you ever thought of doing anything of the sort. You are welcome men across the world! Random topic - Marriage, when does one’s work or dreams have to intertwine with marriage where it’s no longer a reason not to get married? 1:40:11 I suggest you listen on from 1:21:36 and don’t stop FYI. Question for me – Where do you see the podcast going? – 1:42:30 For the record, I don’t think I answered this as well as I would’ve liked, but I put it out there so that if there’s anyone listening who thinks they can help with anything.. you know where to find me. For the record, I am completely aware that this episode is slight longer but talking with Zareen Khan was extremely enjoyable and I believe she in some form a saving grace for artists. We at The Hangout with Rushdi wish her all the best and will support her for anything she needs at the drop of a hat. As always, please like, share, subscribe, slap and complain. I dare you! Rushdi
