Ever wondered how a Math Olympiad–turned–venture capitalist became the master of his own universe? In this Tiger Sisters episode, we sit down with Jeremy Liew—the guy who famously was the first investor ever to bet on Snapchat before it was cool—and get all the tea. He drops wisdom on skipping detours (“If you know what you want, just DO it”), confesses to getting fired (and how it led to bigger moves), and casually floats the idea of nationalizing AI. Meanwhile, Cherie and Jean lose their minds over his “we’re all just bags of meat” epiphany and dissect how following mentors can rocket-launch your career. From YOLO safari trips in Tanzania to skipping red lights (still illegal, FYI), it’s a jam-packed  convo that’ll make you laugh, rethink your next move, and maybe try that leap-of-faith you’ve been putting off.
