Mentorship and Family Influence in Tech’s Future

How do global perspectives shape the future of leadership and technology? Join us for an engaging conversation with Isvari Maranwe, the dynamic CEO and Founder of YuVoice. Isvari shares her incredible journey from growing up in Silicon Valley's bustling tech scene, with deep ties to India, to navigating a career in politics and law. Inspired by her father's belief in the power of legal education, Isvari co-founded a mentorship nonprofit, aiming to provide the guidance she found pivotal in her own career. Her story underscores the importance of resilience and support systems in achieving personal and professional triumphs. Family values and their impact on risk-taking and innovation take center stage as we explore personal narratives of transformation. We'll hear about the journeys of individuals who, fueled by parental encouragement, stepped outside traditional paths to pursue their dreams. Whether it's moving continents with little more than ambition or embracing entrepreneurship over stability, these stories highlight how strong familial support can empower risk-taking. We also spotlight a youth-focused initiative striving to create ethical social media platforms, bringing a stark contrast to the profit-driven models dominating the industry. As the conversation shifts to the role of parenting in tech and wellness, we examine the influence of major tech companies and the importance of teaching responsible tech usage from a young age. Ishbari and I discuss how early exposure to technology and balanced tech engagement can equip young people with essential skills for navigating the digital landscape. The episode wraps up with a powerful call to action, urging listeners to support endeavors that amplify underrepresented voices and promote ethical engagement in technology, reminding us of the critical role parents and mentors play in shaping future leaders.
