- What is Kair Cut: Unfiltered about?
The idea behind Kair Cut: Unfiltered is simple - I will be inviting friends, people, acquaintances whom I know, whom I have met, during my early entrepreneurial days or over the period of 24 years of my existence. These are people whose work I have been following from quite a time now. They are people who are really really good and better than all of us at doing something they are really passionate about and whose opinion I personally value and respect in that specific domain.
They can be from any field, any domain. The idea again is just be curious and ask them the why behind what they do and learn from them. In this segment I will be on the listeners side, I will be on your side driving the conversation and asking questions that matter!

Without paypal we wouldn't have Linkedin, Facebook, Yelp, Youtube, Yammer, Tesla, SpaceX, Reddit, Sequoia Capital and many more. The 200 men driving this company were responsible to change the e-commerce and banking infrastructure completely allowing us to send money easily sitting at home via our pocket devices! All thanks to - The Paypal Mafia!
