Silicon Valley Life
Naeem Zafar and Meena Mayappan interview Silicon Valley folks who don’t make the headlines but are innovating and changing trends. We interview these folks but also talk about new technologies, trends, events, and things that we love to do as normal folks living the life of Silicon Valley. We talk about places we visited and recommend, restaurants we explored, and things that we bought that others may find interesting. Podcast cohost brings different angles to the conversation since Meena is a techie and Naeem brings the business angle as well.
