Zarna Garg is a stand-up comic, screenwriter, bestselling author, and one of the busiest people in comedy right now. But before she ever set foot onstage, she went to law school and tried her hand at entrepreneurship, failing at a vegan chili company, a tomato sauce brand, and even a matchmaking service. In this episode, Adam and Zarna reflect on how her daughter challenged her to consider a career pivot, debate the usefulness of a humanities degree, and break down the meticulous process that goes into developing a hit performance. Zarna also delivers some hot takes and tells the story of how she found her husband by posting a shockingly no-nonsense online ad.Host & GuestAdam Grant (Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @adammgrant</a> | Website:<a href="https://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://adamgrant.net/</a>)Zarna Garg (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/zarnagarg/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">zarnagarg</a> | YouTube: @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/zarnagarg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">zarnagarg</a> | TikTok: @<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@zarnagarg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ZarnaGarg</a> | Website: <a href="https://zarnagarg.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://zarnagarg.com/</a>)Follow TED!&nbsp;X:<a href="https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks</a>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/ted</a>Facebook:<a href="https://facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://facebook.com/TED</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks&nbsp;</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a>Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at&nbsp;<a href="https://attend.ted.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">attend.ted.com/podcast</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
