About this listen
What happens when you stop waiting for permission and start building what’s missing?
In this episode, we sit down with Aravinda Seshadri, founder of Venturous Counsel, a startup lawyer, and an unapologetic advocate for equity in tech. Aravinda shares how she went from being the only woman of color at a big law firm… to launching her own legal practice while pregnant… to creating a workplace that actually honors balance, humanity, and purpose.
We get into:
- How growing up as a South Asian girl in Salt Lake City shaped her fight for representation
The real reason imposter syndrome exists — and how she flipped it into fuel
What it takes to say “no” in a culture obsessed with overwork
Why legal access is a justice issue — especially for underestimated founders
This is not your average lawyer story. It’s a conversation about power, self-trust, and building systems that reflect our values, not just the status quo.
If you’re a founder, creative, or anyone who’s been told to shrink yourself, this one’s for you.
Be bold. Be real. Be Anomalous.
