Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook.

‘Akshaya' signifies immortality or that which is indestructible. ‘Tritiyaa' is the third lunar day as per the Hindu calendar.We explore the Vedantic Significance of Akshay Tritiya here in this podcast. ● It is believed that all sadhanas like Charity, holy bath in sacred rivers, Havan, Japa, Pooja etc. gives Infinite(Akshay) result and merit(punya).● It is also celebrated as Nara-Narayan Jayanti, Parashuram Jayanti & Hayagriva Jayanti.● Buying gold and silver jewelry is a key tradition of Akshaya Tritiya as Gold & Silver are noble metals and do not oxidize or corrode, indicating Eternity. They also symbolize abundance and good fortune.● In the Mahabharata, the Pandavas in exile were gifted a vessel called Akshay Patra by Lord Surya on the day of Akshaya Tritiya. This Divine Vessel offered inexhaustible supply of food.● The day is also known for the reunion of Lord Krishna and Sudama, who were childhood friends.● The Chota Char Dham (Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri & Yamunotri) open on the Akshaya Tritiyaa after the Winter break.  The deities are brought down from these 4 places after Diwali and again taken back to the temples a few days before Akshaya Tritiyaa.● On this day, devotees offer prayers to Lord Vishnu, Goddess Vaibhav Lakshmi and Lord Krishna by observing a fast and performing puja.● Individuals also donate clothes, ghee, rice, fruits, salt, and vegetables to the needy on this auspicious day.

This episode is part of the POE series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark. In November 2024, Akshay Nanavati set out to do what no one had ever attempted before… He wanted to complete the world's first unsupported, solo, 2,750km coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica without any dogs or kites. To do this, he would need to drag a sled with a starting weight of 420 pounds from start to finish. The goal? To explore the hidden treasures of the human soul—treasures that can only be found in the depths of solitude and suffering. He wanted to push the boundaries of what's possible and share the wisdom found on the other side. His attempt was ultimately cut short due to a life-threatening infection, but not before he covered 500 miles in 60 days. In this gripping episode of Beyond A Million, Akshay recounts the journey: the intense physical and mental preparation, raising $1.1 million, spending two months in complete isolation, and confronting the unrelenting monotony of Antarctica. We also dive into how his background as a Marine, a recovering addict, and author of Fearvana shaped the philosophy that fuels his relentless drive.

Is Rohit's India the best in ODI history? India clinched the Champions Trophy 2025 by beating New Zealand. Rohit Sharma's team played a dominant campaign, winning the title without losing a single game. Since taking over the team, Rohit has changed the culture in the Indian team, first under the stewardship of Rahul Dravid and then Gautam Gambhir. This has resulted in India dominating the ICC white-ball competitions, where they reached the final in the 2023 ODI World Cup and won two trophies in 2024 (T20 World Cup) and 2025 (Champions Trophy). So, where does that put Rohit on the list of incredible white-ball captains that India has had? And where does this Indian team rank in terms of the best white-ball sides in the world? In this episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Kingshuk Kusari, and Alan John review the Champions Trophy Final and shed light on all the talking points of the tournament. Stick around till the end, where Akshay continues to ask his weekly trivia question. Produced by Prateek Lidhoo Sound mix by Suraj Singh

Indian badminton is associated by Gen Z with the likes of Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu and Sat-Chi - the doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. It's understandable with badminton consistently becoming a crowd-puller over the last few years. But not too much has been documented about Indian badminton's glorious past. Veteran sports journalist Vijay Lokapally and his son Akshay have co-authored a well-researched English book, titled Net Flicks, that details Indian badminton's sojourn.

The conversation explores the transformative practice of pranayama, or breath control, as a gateway to understanding the mind and body on a deeper level.

He holds an MBA in international business strategy from Maastricht University, has lectured and mentored on entrepreneurship at several universities, and is on the Industry Advisory board of RMIT Vietnam. At Vulcan he ensures that the company is moving in the right direction with a clear plan, managing tech development, finance and business strategy. Vulcan products are designed with accessibility for the end user clearly in mind, and he makes sure that this is considered at every stage of the development process, and that Vulcan is always aware of the user experience before they commit pen to paper. Rafael was raised in a village in the south of the UK, just down the road from Lord Mayor Treloars College, the largest disabled college in the country. Many of his friends as a teenager were wheelchair-bound, or heavily dependent on technology to live full lives, and their resilience and pragmatism were a deep influence. After graduating from University with a degree in Philosophy, he went to Vietnam to travel and work, teaching English for a year before returning to the UK. While in Vietnam however, he came to love the country, the culture and the career, and decided to stay.  He progressed from teaching to academic development and management, but decided after 8 years it was time to build something that would make a difference on a much larger scale. He had seen that Vietnam was a country of tremendous potential, with people who were creative, pragmatic and ambitious, but didn't yet know enough about business to do the opportunity justice, so he took an MBA. During this time he also started learning more about 3d printing and design, and becoming involved with the local maker community which opened his eyes to the technological possibilities becoming available. Shortly after graduating he met Akshay, a representative of a venture studio called Alley51, at a networking event. After talking about 3d printing, maker spaces, and entrepreneurship for several hours, Rafael was invited to pitch Alley51 his startup idea and Vulcan Augmetics was born. In the years since Vulcan was founded Rafael has continued to learn and adapt, incorporating new technology in the most efficient way, and ensuring that the company has built a brand and product that is aligned with real user requirements. His mantra is “Make what the user needs, not what you wish they needed”.  We talked about the following and other items Educational Background and Philosophy Experiences with the Disabled Community Role at RMIT University Entrepreneurial Culture in Vietnam Vietnamese Culture and Business Environment Scientific and Engineering Interests User-Centric Design Engineering Challenges Business Model and Market Strategy Global Reach and Market Expansion Future Vision and Metrics for Success Vulcan Prosthetics and AI Excitement AI Dangers and Singularity Building a Tech Startup in Vietnam Fundraising and Market Strategy Future Plans and Market Expansion Challenges in War Zones Market Differentiation Customization and User Experience L iving in Vietnam and Safety E xploring Vietnam and Local Culture Future Plans and Technology Integration  Rafael's Social Media Rafael's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafael-masters-81276678/ Company Website: https://www.wearevulcan.com/ Company YouTube” https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT9ycoxSCAc7ZOF-3XvDpzw Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vulcan_augmetics/ Company TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vulcanaugmetics  Company FB: https://www.facebook.com/vulcanaugmeticsglobal Rafael's Email: Rafael@wearevulcan.com

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, behind only skin cancer. In recent years, advances in screening, surgery and radiation treatment have improved outcomes and led to an increase in what is known as active surveillance after the initial diagnosis of prostate cancer. “The goal of active surveillance is to maximize the quality of life for patients while at the same time preserving the quantity of life,” said Akshay Sood, MD, a James urologic oncologist who specializes in treating prostate and bladder cancer. Dr. Sood explained the importance of screening, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and what it means, the Gleason score and how these numbers help oncologists determine when to treat patients. He also discussed what's involved in prostate-cancer surgery and radiation treatments, and advances in both of these areas. Dr. Sood is also one of the leaders of the James Multidisciplinary Prostate Cancer Clinic and he described the benefits to patients of this all-in-one clinic that includes a large team of prostate cancer experts. “Unfortunately, there are no symptoms, which is why screening is so important,” Dr. Sood said of prostate cancer. PSA screening should begin at the age of 45 for most men. African American men (who have a higher rate of prostate cancer) and those with a family history of prostate and other types of cancers should begin their yearly PSA screenings at 40. “A PSA level below 4 is considered normal, while a score above 4 is abnormal,” Dr. Sood said. A high score will often lead to a biopsy to determine of the patient has cancer and, if they do, where it ranks on the Gleason scale and the genetic mutation causing the cancer.

In this episode, Akshay Bhat, an Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher, delves into the Ayurvedic principles of health and the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. He explains that Ayurveda views health as a balance between physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, emphasizing that one's dosha is just a piece of the larger puzzle of well-being. Akshay discusses how understanding these doshas can help individuals tailor their lifestyles, diets, and routines for optimal health.  Vata, associated with movement, can lead to issues like back pain when imbalanced. Pitta, linked to fire and digestion, can cause inflammation if not balanced. Kapha individuals, with slower, heavier constitutions, may thrive on more intense exercise. The speakers highlight the importance of knowing your unique constitution to maintain a balanced lifestyle, stressing that what works for one may not work for another. They also explore the concept of circadian rhythms and how aligning daily routines with Ayurvedic principles can promote overall health. The discussion encourages listeners to embrace their unique constitution and take steps toward better self-care through Ayurveda.

In this episode, Akshay Bhat, a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner, explores the four pillars of life in Ayurveda: Dharma (righteousness), Artha (material possessions), Kama (fulfillment of desires), and Moksha (liberation). He emphasizes that balancing these aspects is crucial to leading a happy and healthy life. Akshay delves into how Ayurveda and yoga are interconnected, with both practices supporting spiritual growth and well-being. Ayurveda, which dates back over 6,000 years, is not just a system for physical health but also a guide for living a purposeful life. The speakers discuss how disease is viewed as a "mistake of intelligence" in Ayurveda, and how balance across the four life pillars is key to achieving wellness. The concept of Dharma is explored, contrasting it with Adharma, which represents a life driven by ego and negative emotions. The importance of balancing material and spiritual needs, or Artha, is highlighted, with the caution that modern society often promotes unnecessary desires. Finally, Moksha, or liberation, is discussed, with the speakers suggesting that it can be found through various activities like yoga, meditation, and creative pursuits. Each person's path to freedom is unique, and discovering what brings a sense of expansion is essential for personal growth.

Hello and welcome to another episode of C60! Today we have an incredibly inspiring guest joining us: Akshay Nanavati. Akshay is the author of "Fearvana," a former Marine, and a modern-day explorer who has transformed personal adversity into a journey of purpose and enlightenment. In this episode, Akshay shares his unique philosophy of acceptance, emphasizing the power of embracing life's challenges as they come. Born in India and having faced down a troubled youth, Akshay's transformative moment came after watching "Blackhawk Down," which steered him away from a self-destructive path and into the military. Despite numerous physical challenges, he became a Marine and later confronted profound trauma and PTSD after his deployment to Iraq. Turning to neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, he developed the ethos of "Fearvana," where fear and suffering are seen as gateways to nirvana. Akshay is now preparing for his most daring adventure yet: an unprecedented solo coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica, spanning 1,700 miles over 110 days. He views this journey not just as a personal challenge but as a means to push the boundaries of human potential and share valuable insights for overcoming involuntary suffering. We'll dive deep into Akshay's personal philosophy, the concept of duality, and how embracing both light and darkness can lead to inner peace and purpose. Akshay also discusses neuroplasticity, mental endurance, and the importance of reframing pain. This episode will leave you with profound insights into navigating life's struggles and transforming them into a meaningful, fulfilling existence.

Akshay Kothari is Co-Founder at Notion, one of the fastest-growing companies of the last decade. Akshay has run every function in the company from sales, to marketing to finance and even led their fundraising efforts raising $340M+ from Sequoia, Index and Coatue with the latest round pricing them at $10BN. Before Notion, Akshay was VP Product at Linkedin for 5+ years, leading all of their content efforts. He joined LinkedIn when his previous company, Pulse, was acquired by LinkedIn in 2013. In Today's Episode with Akshay Kothari We Discuss: 1. Founder Mode, Veto Powers and Focus: Does Akshay agree with "founder mode"? What are the biggest downsides to founder mode that not enough people are discussing? Why does Akshay believe that the single greatest power of a founder is their "veto power"? What is the biggest opportunity that Notion jumped on that they should not have done? What is the biggest opportunity that Notion did not jump on that they should have jumped on? 2. Raising $50M @ $2BN Valuation: Why did Ivan and Akshay decide to do this raise when they did not even need the money? How did the fundraising process for this round go? Why did they choose Coatue and Index? Why did Sequoia say no to this round? With the benefit of hindsight, what does Akshay wish that they had done differently? 3. Raising $270M @ $10BN Valuation: How did Sequoia come back into the frame with this round? Why did they say yes here when they did not before? Why does Akshay believe that of all the investor brands, Sequoia is the most powerful? In what way does having Sequoia as an investor change the trajectory of the company? Is Akshay concerned about how he will be able to scale into the $10BN valuation? How does Akshay address the challenge of bringing new team members in with stock options priced at $10BN? How much of a blocker is that? 4. Boards and Social Media are F*******: How is the way in which boards are constructed broken? How does Akshay believe that boards should be constructed? What roles should founders hire for in their board members? Why is Akshay most concerned about the "Tiktokification of everything"? Why does Akshay believe that social media has never been more concerning?  

It's the first true offseason episode of 2024 and nearly all attention has turned to the upcoming Presidents Cup. Andy and Brendan begin this episode with a Victory Tuesday celebration for Brendan's Boston College Eagles after a Top 10* road win at Florida State on Monday night to open the season. They then discuss the breaking news of the day, captain's picks for the Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal. Mike Weir decided to go heavy on the Canadians, selecting Taylor Pendrith, Corey Conners, and surprisingly Mackenzie Hughes in addition to Min Woo Lee, Si Woo Kim, and Christiaan Bezuidenhout. More qualms were had with Jim Furyk's picks for the American side, leaving Akshay Bhatia, Billy Horschel and Justin Thomas behind for Brian Harman, Max Homa, and vice captain Keegan Bradley, among others. Producer PJ comes on to defend his fellow Gen Z-er Akshay, and Andy shares a possible conspiracy theory regarding one selection for the U.S. After a walk through the history of Expos first basemen, the two then discuss the two events on TV this week, the Champs Tour stop in St. Louis and the Omega European Masters in Switzerland. One-and-done picks for the Champions Tour are made and Brendan shares two new facts about Frugal Fritelli, perhaps the best ones yet. To wrap things up, it's a quick NFL roundup before the season kicks off on Thursday night.

Cam Davis is your champion in Detroit as the Aussie wins his second Rocket Mortgage Classic after Akshay Bhatia three putts on the 72nd hole. We recap all the action from Detroit including another close call for Cam Young plus Seth Waugh's resignation from the PGA of America, Chambers Bay in reported discussions to host a LIV event, golf's moment during the debate, some updates on our own golf games, and a ton more.

It is a first of the month recording for the Shotgun Start, which means extra pep and enthusiasm. Brendan is joined by Joseph LaMagna to discuss the Rocket Mortgage Classic, specifically what “hypnotherapy” is and why it is working for the winner in Detroit. They also discuss how this could be the blueprint for a PG-B Tour event with its nice field mix and good Sunday leaderboard from it. They discuss Cam Young's rough Sunday, snapping his driver, and the discourse around him being unable to win. They also hit on Akshay's three-putt to lose and his current positioning for the Presidents Cup alongside many others outside the auto-qualifying spots. The odd finish on the DP World Tour is cause for a separate chat on what it means to be “choking” in golf, but that's after they discuss what may be the greatest backboarding moment of all time, one so bad it's good. The U.S. Senior Open will bring us Blandemonium Monday, which is a thing after producer PJ jumps in with his notes on the weekend in Newport. News hits on Nelly having to WD with a dog bite and Chambers Bay entertaining the idea of hosting a LIV event with the USGA perhaps leaving them out in the cold.

We have a jam packed pod this weekend as Akshay Bhatia wins the Valero, Nelly Korda wins the LPGA Match Play, and Lottie Woad claims the 5th Augusta National Women's Amateur. We start in San Antonio where Bhatia won in a playoff over Denny McCarthy after McCarthy's back nine 28 (!!) to force extra holes. We talk Akshay's career outlook in light of his second win on tour and try to make sense of McCarthy's incredible run of birdies before his chunked wedge in the playoff. We also talk Rory, Spieth, and a few other notes ahead of the Masters. Then it's on to Las Vegas (30:00) where Nelly Korda wins for the fourth consecutive start as she defeats Leona Maguire to win the LPGA Match Play while Lottie Woad birdies 17 and 18 to win the ANWA (44:00). We close with some observations from our day at Augusta today (1:10:00), JT's split from Bones, LIV-Miami, upcoming content this week and more. Learn more about your ad choices.
