297: Todd Torabi, Product Designer at Petrolicious

Today's guest is a really special person... he's my brother! You’ve heard him on the show before as he was my co-host during some of the earlier episodes of Ask Farnoosh. Todd and I have a very big age gap. I am almost 11 years his senior, so you can imagine we have a special relationship. I remember changing many of his diapers, babysitting him and driving him to school. Both our parents worked at one point and the only person who could take Todd to kindergarten in the morning was ME. I would actually take Todd to my 1st period history class my senior year in high school and have a special note that allowed me to leave school at 8:30 to go drop Todd off at kindergarten and come back to school. I was single parenting at 17! Proud to say that Todd – a MILLENNIAL! – has gone on to achieve a great deal in his early 20s. He is currently a product designer at Petrolicious, a media company and award-winning film series showcasing the powerful relationship between vintage cars and their owners. This job he got by first just emailing the founder out of the blue. Talk about guts! Todd also teaches. He helps run a 10-week User Experience Design course at the technology school, General Assembly. He loves to play basketball and tennis. He is a die hard Patriots Fan and has recently taken up meditation. You wouldn’t know we’re related based on those interests…except the tennis part. He and I took lessons this summer and he kicked my butt. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
