AGNTCY - Unlock agents at scale with an open Internet of Agents. Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support. What if AI agents needed digital passports to act on your behalf? In this episode, Ankur Banerjee, Co-Founder and CTO of cheqd.io, reveals how decentralized identity is becoming the foundation of the AI agent economy. From booking Taylor Swift tickets with an agent to proving you're a real person online, we explore why identity and trust are the hidden infrastructure shaping the future of AI. Ankur explains how cheqd is building privacy-first tools that let AI agents verify who they are, what they can do, and who they're working for, all without handing over your data to big tech. We dig into the rise of digital credentials, the limits of biometrics, and how protocols like MCP are making the internet safe for autonomous agents. If you've ever wondered how AI will operate on your behalf in the real world, this conversation offers a glimpse into what's coming next.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, Luis Guzman sits down with creative strategist and marketing rebel Ankur Garg, the CEO of Youngry and founder of Flex Work Studios, for one of the most brutally honest conversations we've had on this show. If you're expecting a polished tale of success, this ain't it. This is a real one—messy, inspiring, and filled with the kind of truth most people are too afraid to say out loud.Ankur walks us through his “Z to A” philosophy—a method where he helps people visualize their end goal first and then reverse engineer the steps to get there. But he's quick to say most people don't actually want to do the work. They want the shortcut. They want the result without the process. He doesn't sugarcoat it. He's seen it too many times—people with all the talk and none of the action.We get into the rise and collapse of his earlier ventures, including the one that made headlines: Shreds. He opens up about losing it all—money, reputation, friendships—and how walking away wasn't just a business move. It was a moral choice. After discovering people close to him were getting paid before the employees and vendors, he had to step out. But leaving meant giving up everything he helped build. That decision haunted him for years.This episode pulls no punches. We talk about betrayal, misplaced loyalty, and how easy it is to misread people when your gut's not tuned in. Ankur admits he missed the signs. He questions whether he betrayed people too—not out of malice, but by promising more than he could deliver when he was young, hungry, and blinded by the rush of success.We explore how rock bottom changed him. After years of living large, Ankur found himself back at his parents' house, broke, depressed, and questioning his worth. No sponsors, no co-signs, no golden parachute. Just Uber driving, $25 flyer gigs, and a deep need to find his footing again. What followed was three years in Pittsburgh, where he rebuilt quietly. No flash. No ego. Just work.He talks about losing confidence, dealing with physical symptoms of stress, and eventually finding his strength again—mentally, emotionally, and financially. It's not a redemption montage. It's a slow, grinding climb. But when his beard grew back (literally), he knew something inside had shifted. He finally loved himself again.Luis and Ankur go deep on loyalty, adult friendships, and why Ankur keeps his circle small. He shares how trauma shaped the way he gives and receives love, and why a simple act—like someone bringing him a coffee—can mean more than words ever could. They talk about chasing accomplishment vs. chasing validation, and how sometimes, you just need to hear “you were right” to get that fire back.They also unpack the origin story of Youngry—a name Ankur held onto for 20 years, waiting for the right moment. That moment is now. He explains how he brought in trusted partners to build something bigger than himself. The agency isn't just about marketing—it's about creating opportunities for creators and entrepreneurs who want to work smart, build loud, and do it without selling out.This is more than a story about business. It's about falling apart and coming back stronger. It's about the identity shifts we all go through and what it takes to truly reinvent yourself when nobody's watching. Ankur's story will hit home for anyone who's ever been humbled by life and had to start over.If you've ever felt like giving up, or like your past disqualified you from your future, you need to hear this one. Not because it's pretty—but because it's real.
In this inspiring episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra engages with Dr Srihari S. Naidu, current President of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) and tenured professor at New York Medical College. Their conversation explores Dr Naidu's compelling journey from his formative years and family influences to his strategic vision for elevating interventional cardiology's national profile.

In this compelling episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra explores South Asian cardiovascular health with preventive cardiology experts, Dr Jaideep Patel from Johns Hopkins, and Dr Romit Bhattacharya from Massachusetts General Hospital. The conversation begins with both specialists sharing personal motivations behind their focus on South Asian heart health, from family losses to scientific curiosity about potential genetic and metabolic distinctions. They examine whether South Asians truly face different cardiovascular risks - discussing observations of earlier disease onset, unique lipid patterns, and metabolic dysfunction at lower BMIs - while emphasizing that fundamental prevention strategies remain effective across populations. The episode culminates with powerful closing insights on prevention as an investment—how small, consistent lifestyle modifications can prevent cardiovascular disease onset even in those with genetic predispositions, ultimately enabling fuller, more functional lives in later years.
