"Part of the reason I think diverse teams outperform is because a lot of the times you have people that are hungry to succeed and you have people who are not just doing it for themselves."

Miriam Rivera paved her own way into tech. Growing up a Puerto Rican in New York, Miriam found her way to a private high school in New Hampshire, went onto Stanford, which introduced her to tech, and from there, onto Google.

Miriam learned a lot of things on this journey, like what "old money" vs "new money" looks like, the value of ownership, and the importance of diversity from the top down.

She and Elias get into all of these learnings on this week's episode of The American Dream.
