Pod#136 - Gul Zaib Shakeel - SHE'S THE GENERAL MANAGER AT TEELI!! (feat. Kazi Akber)

Description:

Friend of the podcast and recurring guest Gul was finally trapped into making an appearance for a full episode about her. We're very impressed by her becoming the General Manager at Teeli, an outfit we're big fans of like many thousands of other people, so we had to have her on to figure out how she did it. From her childhood, to A-levels, to the job and her promotions, we got most of it. 


As before, the YouTube cut is a shorter version of the full chat which can be found only on our audio platforms.
