There are endless things that no one talks about when it comes to navigating life after college. Life Snacks is a podcast dedicated to helping you figure out all of life's lessons that we weren’t taught in school. From finances to health, to relationships and careers we’re here to cover it all.

In addition to that, Jaime is the founder of Crypto packaged goods, co-founder of Color Capital investment firm, and most recently she is co-founder of BFF, an online community with a goal to make crypto accessible to women and nonbinary people. While the BFF community is decentralized, it has 70 founding members, including actors Gwyneth Paltrow and Mila Kunis, Rent the Runway CEO Jennifer Hyman, Eventbrite CEO Julia Hartz, ClassPass founder Payal Kadakia, and model turned entrepreneur Tyra Banks. In this conversation we discuss:
