“The Challenge of Finding Friends and How to Solve for it in the Modern World” by Pai Charasika
Description: Once upon a time it was far easier to make new friends as a generation of people found entertainment in the pastime of face to face interaction. With the advent of social media, virtual reality, and sooo many things to occupy our time, it has become increasingly more challenging to meet new people in real life where you have a natural synergies and a natural desire to speak. It’s hard out there to meet new people! ???? Either people already have their clique of friends or people rely on relationships that are “environmental”. In this discussion I’ll give you my perspective on this mode of communication and ways to potentially solve for this modern day conundrum.
A native of Louisville, Pai has 17 years in the investment industry as a local finance guy by profession. Who over the last several years has passionate in the entrepreneur/startup space. A divorced father of two who appreciates good people and a good time.
