How did two immigrant and first generation sisters get into both Harvard and Stanford? In episode 3 of Tiger Sisters, Cherie and Jean share the life hacks and methods we used to manifest our grad school acceptances and other achievements. In Roses and Thorns – added based on listener feedback – we share our secret pleasures, deep-seated fears, and more. We introduce The Great Book Race (potentially another recurring section; thoughts?) and share our Vision Boards from the last 10 years. We hope you enjoy this episode and please share with a friend who would find it helpful.
Hi everyone, it's Cherie and Jean, the Tiger Sisters. We’re your career mentors and internet big sisters!

~ JEAN ~
Hi guys! I’m Jean and I’m a product exec, investor, and now creator-founder with my sister Cherie. I was previously the Head of Product for Augmented Reality Shopping at Snapchat. I’ve worked in product for 12 years, and I have over 50 AI patents dating back to 2012. In a past life, I was an institutional investor at Goldman Sachs. In addition to building out the Tiger Sisters video podcast series, I’m currently Managing Partner of Sunbird Ventures, an AI-focused seed stage microfund that I founded with another female AI tech exec. I’m sharing my learnings and personal stories in the hopes that I can inspire and elevate other people – especially young women – both in their careers and in pursuit of rich, fun, and joyful lives.
