Isfandiyar (Asfi) Shaheen is a capital markets professional (investor) and entrepreneur, and is currently the founder and CEO of NetEquity, a company dedicated to making internet for all a reality. This is of special concern considering that approximately 4 billion people still do not have access to the internet; Asfi believes that this access can lay the framework needed for equal opportunities and help provide the basis for self-efficiency through access to all the knowledge the world-wide-web has to offer. He believes he is track to make his ambitious goal a reality by 2028.

This episode takes a peak into Asfi's life and the motivations behind all that he has achieved. He gives insight into the many failures and rejections he experienced that paved his path to success.
