In the episode, we discuss how Souradeep got started, what motivated him to start competing professionally and the hardships and struggles he faced along the way. Souradeep also has some great advice on how the average person can stay healthy and fit. Interspered throughout are our usual antics, Souradeep's anecdotes and a whole lot of laughter!

In this episode, we are joined by Vishnu Nair (@vishnair10), an aspiring stand up comic in Bangalore. This is probably the funniest episode we have recorded to date, as we discuss various topics like: the nature of humour, political correctness in comedy along with a bunch of other topics. Hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, we are joined by Rajath K, our co-host who is trying to become a professional basketball player. We discuss a host of topics like why he chose to go down this path, why an athlete requires a strong mentality and how injury can affect you mentally. We discuss a great book called Captain Class as well. Have fun!

In this episode, we have Sid Bhat join us on the podcast as we discuss drugs. The illegal kind. Some of the topics we cover are: Why do we start doing drugs? What personal effect did it have on each of us? Some wild and pointless forays into loosely related topics. All in all, it's a pretty fun episode!

In this episode, join us as we discuss what prevents people from getting started on their ideas. Every person has had that one grand idea (or multiple of those), and yet the hardest part of this is getting started. How do we get unstuck?
