    Hey all, Welcome back to 'Off the Record' - which is a new series where I just speak about interesting , relevant topics that are relevant with various guest(s).

More people coming outside of university are taking the 'unconventional' route of either joining start ups or creating a company of their own and the younger generation are traditionally more willing to take risks and pave their own path.

    Hey all, this is Meeks. As you may know - I created an instagram page called @SelfDevSundayss where I reviewed books and shared my insights and learnings back in 2019. I took a bit of a break since I wasn't sure where I was taking this. However, due to the recent lockdown situation, I have decided to bring this page and passion back in the form of a podcast. Find out more about my motivation for bringing this back here!
