The GRTiQ 10: Kirsten Pomales (Ep. 161)
In a recent episode of the GRTiQ Podcast, Kirsten Pomales shared her personal insights and experiences during the GRTiQ 10 segment, offering listeners a deeper look into her life and thoughts.
When asked about the book that has had the most impact on her life, Kirsten highlighted “The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.” She carries a picture of Frederick Douglass on her phone and owns keychains featuring him. Douglass’s story, from being a slave who not only escaped but also tirelessly worked to help others, has profoundly inspired Kirsten. She emphasized how Douglass’s life demonstrates that anyone can achieve great things, no matter their starting point.
For a movie recommendation, Kirsten enthusiastically mentioned “Pirates of the Caribbean.“
When it comes to music, if she could only listen to one album for the rest of her life, she would choose “Los Verdaderos” by Zion y Lennox.
The best advice Kirsten ever received came from Becky in middle school: “You are in control and you can do anything.” This simple yet powerful lesson has stayed with her throughout her life.
One key lesson Kirsten has learned is the idea that your life is infinitely malleable. She firmly believes that people can change anything about themselves and their lives if they believe they can. The only real limitations are those we place on ourselves.
For a practical life hack, Kirsten revealed that there’s an infinite amount of free stuff in the world—you just have to find it. She calls this “raccooning,” a concept popular among her team at TalentLayer, particularly at hackathons where free food is abundant.
When discussing the characteristic that best explains success, Kirsten emphasized grit. She defines grit as the ability to keep going no matter the obstacles, seeing every setback as an opportunity to learn and grow. This relentless determination significantly increases the likelihood of success because even a small chance of success becomes probable with enough persistent effort.
In the final segment, Kirsten completed three sentences:
- The thing that most excites her about web3 is sovereignty.
- If you’re on X (formerly known as Twitter), you should be following Kirsten R Pomales.
- Kirsten is happiest when she is around her friends.
