About this listen

My mind was having an adrenaline rush and it felt like a calling. I ran into a mutual friend at ahead coffee shop and in the conversation, I noticed how their personality was reflected through what they’d worked on and that got me immediately obsessed with idea of how someone personality and childhood links up with their work ahead in life. I realised that it isn’t until you really care about something, is when you actually start working on that thing religiously, until a point where you are completely obsessed with what you care for. And in that moment talking to my friend, I realised what I deeply cared about the most in life was talking to people about their life experiences and linking these roots to the what they are currently working towards; and that is why I created this podcast. To bring these experiences to life in form of a podcast and really understand how everything in life is connected, the point is to know it and understand it.

The conversation then takes a quick turn into her upbringing and her reflections on the discipline and extremes that often define the lives of successful people - and whether that lifestyle is sustainable for mental health.

    Understanding first principle rule | Ep 1
    Aug 7 2024

    Hi ! I figured I'd keep the first episode more focussed on my motivation behind starting this podcast, the name storming process, and also responding to the questions I happened to ask my friends on a google form link I'd sent to them a couple days before recording this episode.


    Be curious :)
