About this listen

The Vancrux Podcast blends self-improvement with deep, philosophical inquiry to help you become your best self. We feature guests from all walks of life sharing transformative insights, along with solo episodes that explore mindset, meaning, and the pivotal choices we all face.

Vancrux is a coined word — “Van” suggests rising or going beyond, and “Crux” means a turning point or critical moment. It reflects our belief that real growth begins where challenge meets choice. To Vancrux then, is to Vanquish at the crucial time.

We explore topics from Psychology and Philosophy to History, Science, and Spirituality — unfiltered, bold, and grounded in freedom of thought. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a space for clarity, transformation, and purpose.

Welcome to The Vancrux Podcast. Your turning point starts here.

Formerly known as the Vanquish Podcast.

  • Existential Courage — Acting Despite Uncertainty and Risk
    Oct 11 2025

    In this powerful episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we explore one of the deepest forms of bravery — existential courage — the ability to act even when life offers no guarantees. You’ll learn why courage isn’t about eliminating fear, but walking beside it. Why uncertainty, when embraced, becomes a catalyst for growth. And how facing discomfort builds the inner strength that defines true character.

    Through vivid storytelling, thought experiments, and philosophical insights from thinkers like Sartre, this episode dives into what it really means to live authentically in an unpredictable world. You’ll discover practical ways to cultivate courage in your own life — from challenging self-doubt, to stepping beyond your comfort zone, to finding meaning even when the path ahead is unclear.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll see that the only true certainty in life is the strength you build by acting despite fear.

  • The Power of Storytelling
    Oct 10 2025

    In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, Jeevan Matharu dives deep into one of the most powerful skills in human communication — storytelling. He explores how stories turn cold facts into emotional, unforgettable experiences that inspire action and connection.

    You’ll discover why the brain is wired to remember stories over data, how to use storytelling in every area of life — from business pitches to first dates to conversations at the pub — and why the story you tell yourself might be the most important one of all.

    Through immersive examples and neuroscience-backed insights, Jeevan shows how you can become a more influential communicator, leader, and creator simply by learning to tell better stories. He’ll walk you through how to craft relatable narratives, how to make your message felt instead of just heard, and how storytelling can transform your relationships, your work, and even your self-belief.

    By the end, you’ll not only understand the power of storytelling — you’ll know how to live it.

  • The Quantum Zeno Effect: Stop Staring at the Pot
    Oct 9 2025

    In this episode, we explore a fascinating concept from quantum physics and how it applies to personal growth and success. The Quantum Zeno Effect teaches us that constant observation can actually freeze change—just like a seed you obsessively check, or a pot of water you stare at, never boiling any faster.

    Host Jeevan Matharu dives into the trap of over-monitoring your progress: checking likes, sales, client numbers, or other metrics daily, and wondering why growth seems slow. Using vivid metaphors—the seed, the boiling pot, and quantum mechanics itself—he shows why obsession with outcomes stalls progress and why patience, consistency, and trust in the process are key.

    Listeners are encouraged to focus on planting their seeds, nurturing their craft, and stepping back to let growth happen naturally. The episode blends science, metaphor, and actionable advice to shift your mindset from outcome-obsession to process mastery.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why less observation can lead to more growth, and how to let your efforts flourish without interference.
