Hello TMM readers (and all the new ones here!)
Welcome to our newsletter — as always, every issue is a mixed bag. Sometimes it’s a gift guide like this Diwali one, sometimes it’s a thought-piece like this one on family dynamics, and sometimes it’s a bit of it all.
This Week On The Podcast: Meet Reshma-Chattaram Chamberlin, Co-Founder of Summersalt
A career-focused conversation where we dive into how Reshma, who grew up in Mumbai landed up in Missouri co-founding a company that disrupted the entire swimwear industry. We talk about asking for what you want and how fluffy networking doesn’t cut it anymore. Reshma shares advice on entrepreneurship and recognizing your individual capacity. We journey into how entrepreneurship is glorified so many times and may not be the right fit for everyone.
Listen to the full episode on Apple, Spotify (or any other platform) for a great conversation, solid advice, and fun recommendations from Reshma, like her favorite pair of jeans from AGolde or where she loves to eat when in Mumbai.

Our #1 Golden Rule For Listening To Podcasts
Start with an episode that speaks to you. Don’t feel like you need to listen to every episode (while we’d love that but ain’t no one got the time). The good thing is at TMM, we have something for everyone. AND if you like what you listen to, do our podcast or any of your favorite podcasts a favor by taking 2 seconds to leave the podcast a review on Apple Podcasts. This really makes a difference for podcasters, especially when it’s self-produced. Think of it as a Google Review or Amazon Review and how those significant help you decide to buy a product or pick a restaurant.
Lastly, on the eve of Diwali, we wish you and your family love, luck, and light. Thank you for being here and supporting by reading, listening, and sharing.
Sending you all the good vibes.
