In this episode of Get Hired, LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman is joined by Zoya Garg, the cofounder and COO of Zarna Garg Productions, the company behind comedian Zarna Garg’s global success.

Zoya’s unconventional career began in high school when she recognized her mother’s comedic talent and entrepreneurial spirit could become an actual business. Through grassroots marketing and social media strategy, she helped launch her mom’s standup career—an experience that helped her land a spot at Stanford.

After graduation, Zoya returned to the family business, where she’s putting her computer science and classics degrees to work in unexpected ways. In this conversation, Zoya shares candid insights about the fear and pressure facing today’s graduates and gives advice on how to tap into an entrepreneurial mindset when traditional paths to success aren’t available.

Key Topics:

How entrepreneurship has become more accessible than ever for recent graduates
The power of learning to sell, regardless of your degree or industry
Using AI tools to master new skills and automate complex tasks
Reframing your college degree as a flexible toolkit, not a rigid career path
Why putting yourself out there is now a non-negotiable for career success
