Podcasts about Dhruv

Hello Hello Hello!Overcoming the righteous elitism that plagues the day-to-day operations of Queen is Dead, Amartya, Cris, and Varun convene to discuss the evolution/regression of one of Bombay's most significant production houses: Yash Raj Films. More precisely, the decline in YRF's output is examined through their two major franchises – the Dhoom series and the Spy Universe. A broad discussion segues into observations about music and themes and filmmaking and dissing QID's in-house YRF-esque dramatic hero Dhruv Krishna Goyal before arriving at Production #7 of the Spy Universe – Alpha, helmed by Shiv Rawail and starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, with support from Anil Kapoor and the re-ascendant Vijay Singh aka Bobby Deol.Spoilers for two franchises that no one cares about (as per Dhruv).TIME CODESIntro - [00:00 - 05:31]Bottom of the Barrel ("War 2") - [05:31 - 16:30] The Appeal of the Spyverse (up until "Pathaan") - [16:30 - 24:04] The Appeal of the "Dhoom" Franchise (Minus "Dhoom 3") - [24:04 - 45:30]What Happened to the Music?! - [45:30 - 53:46]The Demise of the Spyverse (post-"Pathaan") - [53:46 - 01:37:00] The Lethal Ladies (and the Three Bored Audience Members) of "Alpha" - [01:37:00 - 02:29:28] Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can follow us on Letterboxd at -CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.VARUN: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/.AMARTYA: https://letterboxd.com/amartya/.

I read a few articles the last couple of months on the topic of VCF Edge by Dhruv Tyagi , and with the 9.1 release there were a couple of interesting posts about Zero Touch Provisioning, so it was time to invite him to the podcast and explore what VCF Edge is all about. Of course we also touch on things like Zero Touch Provisioning and how it helps customers deploy and manage thousands of hosts across countless locations. A very unique solution for a very specific problem!Want to know more, these were some of the documents, blogs, and demos discussed during this episode:VCF Edge: VCF Edge Design LibraryVCF Edge Design Blueprint for ManufacturingVCF Edge Design Blueprint for DefenseZTP:Blog - Zero Touch Provisioning: Activating Edge Sites with VMware Cloud Foundation Edge 9.1Demo Video - Zero Touch Provisioning: Activating Edge Sites with VCF Edge 9.1Tech Docs for ZTP

In our final episode of this year's Pride series, Cris, Dhruv & Ashwin talk about English-language queer films as outsider "trash" art (John Waters' "Pink Flamingos"), genre-subversive art (The Wachowski Sisters' "Bound") & poetic melodramas (Terence Davies' "Benediction").Much like the previous two eps, this final episode is another attempt to explore the varied aesthetics of queer expression, with form being intrinsically tied to content in shaping what a filmmaker wants to say about queerness in (and through) their film.Listen to the full episode to hear us discuss John Waters & Divine's infamous "politics of filth" in "Pink Flamingoes," the Wachowskis' play on noir's femme fatale in "Bound," and Terence Davies' personalization (and poeticism) of the otherwise rote historical biopic in "Benediction."Spoilers, if they count.TIME CODESIntro - [00:00 - 03:04]"Pink Flamingos" (1972) - [03:04 - 36:28] "Bound" (1996) - [36:28 - 1:02:07] "Benediction" (2021) - [01:02:07 - 01:46:53]Outro - [01:46:53 - 01:53:57]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can follow us on Letterboxd at -CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.ASHWIN: https://letterboxd.com/ashwindev/.DHRUV: https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/.

What if GLP-1s like Ozempic could do more than just tip the scales? Physician Dhruv Khullar traces the winding path of the "moderation molecule" — from a discovery in Gila monster saliva to a potential diabetes medication and addiction treatment — and how they could quiet the relentless noise of craving. The most surprising effects of GLP-1s may not be in the gut, but in the brain. And stick around after his talk for a deep dive conversation with our guest host for the week, author and podcaster Manoush Zomorodi, into the ideas he shared on stage and beyond.This is episode five of a seven-part series airing this week on TED Talks Daily, where Manoush — and the seven speakers she curated for TED2026 — explore how you can live a healthier life in our high-tech era.To hear more from Manoush, listen to TED Radio Hour wherever you get your podcasts.

Dhruv Diddi, founder of Solo Tech, joins Kevin Frazier, the AI Innovation and Law Fellow at the University of Texas School of Law and a Senior Editor at Lawfare, to discuss the emerging frontier of Physical AI. Solo Tech builds infrastructure that allows developers to deploy AI models directly onto robots and edge devices rather than relying on cloud-based computation. In other words, think about allowing AI systems to operate in remote areas that have traditionally struggled to leverage the latest and greatest tech.Kevin and Dhruv look into what it takes to move AI systems out of digital environments and into the physical world. They also chat about the idea of "gyms" for AI and policy challenges associated with highly-sophisticated robots becoming more ubiquitious. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this second episode (of three) of this year's Pride special series, Cris, Dhruv, Ashwin, and returning guest Prakhar engage with European Queer Cinema through Chantal Akerman's 'The Meetings of Anna', Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 'Querelle', and Alain Guiraudie's 'Stranger by the Lake' and how they navigate asceticism and excess in the landscape of queer misery.

In our second ever Pride special series, Cris is joined by fellow Queer Cinema enthusiasts Dhruv and Ashwin to discuss how different filmmakers from different backgrounds and in different eras render queerness on screen. They explore what makes a film "queer" in the first place and how formally, narratively, and stylistically diverse they can be.This first episode (of three) engages with Asian Queer Cinema through Wong Kar Wai's 'Happy Together', Tsai Ming-liang's 'The River', and Apichatpong Weerasethakul's 'Tropical Malady', and how they contemplate (queer) alienation, misery, and repression.

Ashwin, Amartya, Dhruv, Varun, and Cris convene in a divergent manel to tackle Steven Spielberg's association with science fiction. This first in a series of three episodes looks at "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", and "A.I. Artificial Intelligence". Minor digressions to address the cinematic spectacles known as "Jaani Dushman — Ek Anokhi Kahani" and "Koi Mil Gaya" aside, this is one of the saner offerings from the QID studio, all thanks to host and chief Spielberg champion Varun.The second episode will revolve around "Minority Report", "War of the Worlds", and "Ready Player One", and the series will close with "Disclosure Day", the latest film by the Father of the Blockbuster, back in the director's chair after a hiatus of four years, the longest time he has taken between films in fifty-two years of feature filmmaking.MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL 3 MOVIES & MINOR ONES FOR "THE FABELMANS"TIME CODESIntros to Spielberg's Sci-Fi Cinema - [00:00 - 17:13]"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - [17:13 - 01:25:41]"E.T.

Dhruv, Cris, Aryan, Srilekha & Varun (correctly pronounced, as per Srilekha, as "Borun") are discussing a(nother) A24 Film that's been the talk of the town since it released in cinemas last month. Since most of them were relatively cold on the film itself, they've decided to dedicate at least half of this episode to discussing the drama surrounding not only the film but also its director, Kristoffer Borgli -- especially the casually disconcerting essay he wrote about May-December romances. In particular, he cites Woody Allen's "Manhattan" as the key inspiration that helped him justify his relationship with a 16-year-old girl as a 27-year-old man.The QID members discuss -- in length -- the value (or not) of having this kind of discussion before delving into the particularities of Borgli's films that interested (or irritated) them.MAJOR SPOILERS FOR "THE DRAMA" & MINOR SPOILERS FOR "MANHATTAN" THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE EPISODE!Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TIME CODESIntroduction : [00:00 - 13:19]A24's Marketing of "The Drama" : [13:19 - 24:32]Borgli & The Woody Allen Connection : [24:32 - 01:01:40]The Drama of "The Drama" : [01:01:40 - 01:44:12]Films (Recos) like "The Drama" : [01:44:12 - 02:04:37]Outro (Aryan's "Samay Raina" Tangent) : [02:04:37 - 02:11:49]You can also follow these mad people on Letterboxd at -ARYAN: https://letterboxd.com/aryantalksfilms/.SRILEKHA: https://letterboxd.com/srilekha__mitra/.DHRUV: https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/.CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.VARUN: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/.

Dhruv's internet is down (and he despised the film everyone seems to love), so Varun takes over hosting duties of our latest episode. You know what you're in for then.For about an hour of this two-hour spoiler-filled episode on "Project Hail Mary," Varun manages to steer the (space) ship rather competently -- encouraging all our participants, including himself, of course, to share thier adoration (Adithiyan), disdain (Cris), or measured response (Amartya, Hemant, & Varun) to (currently) the biggest hit film of the year.Then the wheels come off—so expect deviations, including discussions about Hemant's marriage, Varun's UK Passport Office visit pre-watching PHM, etc. The editor of this episode, who's also writing this description and was slandered around 10-15 times in the episode (Dhruv), wishes all QID listeners the best of luck trying to survive this particular section of the episode.Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TIME CODESMain Discussion on PHM (& Stuff) : [00:00 - 01:31:21]Closing Thoughts on Stuff (& PHM) : [01:31:21 - 02:04:30]You can also follow these mad people (& Adithiyan) on Letterboxd at -ADITHIYAN: https://letterboxd.com/curioseradi/.AMARTYA: https://letterboxd.com/amartya/.CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.VARUN: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/.HEMANT: https://letterboxd.com/ganti117/.

This week Joseph talks to Dhruv Mehrotra, a journalist and technologist at Bloomberg. Before that, Dhruv was at WIRED, where you probably saw a ton of his interesting work. Dhruv sits in a very unusual space in journalism: he is able to both write technical tools to dig through data, or collect information, or really anything else, and is also able to just write a damn good story. That is a very unique blend. The pair chat about Dhruv's entry into journalism, how computational journalism has changed over the years, and how Dhruv uses AI too.

In this episode, Ian Bergman sits down with Dhruv C. Patel, co-founder of Syncurrent, to explore how AI is helping local governments, Tribal Nations, and public agencies find and access funding faster, turning a process that once took months into something that can happen in minutes. Together, they unpack why so many communities are shut out of critical funding opportunities, how outdated systems create massive inefficiencies, and why GovTech may be one of the most meaningful frontiers in innovation today. Dhruv also breaks down the deeper questions shaping public sector technology, including trust, regulation, access, equity, and the responsibility that comes with building tools that influence how resources reach real people. It's a sharp, optimistic conversation about AI, government innovation, underserved communities, and what it really looks like to build technology that helps society function better.Topics

What can a business strategy education do for your career? Dhruv Kavi is Manager of Client Delivery at the AI consulting firm Quantum Rise and he joins us on the Economics & Strategy Podcast to tell us what it's done for him. He tells us how he went from a task-oriented mindset to thinking three steps ahead. He describes how he applies strategy frameworks to analyze and understand the interactions he encounters at work. Giving him an ability to frame the impact of his projects as part of a larger whole. With that understanding he can now make each project more fruitful, each client engagement more impactful, and his firm more successful. It really does work!   Give it a listen.

Protests in Iran have turned deadly, with hundreds feared shot and killed. The government has shut all communications with the outside world, making it difficult to get accurate information from the ground. But a few have been able to get through, using Starlink, a satellite internet network, including one doctor living in New York. Also, Malaysia and Indonesia have blocked Grok, the AI chatbot feature on the social media platform X, citing concerns that the chatbot is being used to produce sexually explicit images. And, an inside look at the Venezuelan capital as uncertainty over the country's future continues. Plus, we take a listen to a single from Dhruv's debut album, a singer with roots in India and an upbringing in Singapore. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Hello, Hello, Hello!We're back after a month-long hiatus with our podcast episodes -- which will be coming regularly to you from now on, at least until the end of 2025's Awards Season.Rather than doing our annual "Best of" & "Oscar Season Movie Catch-Ups", we've decided to do a series of Year-end Round-ups of some of the most talked about films in 2025. These will cover many of the titles up for awards consideration -- and hopefully many more titles that perhaps didn't make the nominations list but were still relevant (either in public discourse, or, more significantly, personal favorites).We'll be releasing the Round-Up Eps for English Language Features first, since most of the titles we have discussed are now readily available for listeners to watch online.This first (of three) English-Language Features Round-Up is mainly focused on covering films either directed by women -- or, at least, on films entirely centered around them. This includes fairly in-depth discussions on Lynne Ramsay's "Die My Love," Mary Bronstein's "If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You," Nia DaCosta's "Hedda," Yorgos Lanthimos' "Bugonia," Mona Fastvold's "The Testament of Ann Lee," and (briefly) John M Chu's "Wicked (Not) For Good."The last film listed here also prompts our token Queer representative, Cris, to do a quickfire Queer Film Round-Up for 2025, which most extensively covers Ira Sachs's "Peter Hujar's Day."Listen to the full episode to hear more about our apprehension in talking about "women-oriented films," Cris and Ashwin's problems with John M. Chu's direction of the "Wicked" films, THAT "Bugonia" ending & much, much more!TIME CODESQID Ep.

Let's see what AI adoption really looks like inside the freight industry in this episode with our returning guest, Dhruv Gupta from Drumkit! Dhruv shares the three types of customers in the AI space, why human oversight still drives decision quality, where the best automation opportunities actually live, and why setting realistic expectations matters. He also digs into rolling out AI without blowing up your workflows, why cultural buy-in matters just as much as the tech itself, product limitations, the future of conversational AI, and how AI will free brokers to focus on relationships and real decision-making. At the end of the day, AI isn't about replacing people; it's about removing the tedious stuff so you can operate faster, smarter, and with a whole lot more clarity. Keep tuning in to hear more!   About Dhruv Gupta Dhruv is the CEO of Drumkit, co-founding it in 2022. He has been passionate about logistics for as long as he can remember. After graduating from Harvard with a degree in Computer Science and Government, he founded a Y Combinator backed startup focused on micro-mobility optimization. He then co-founded Megaphone, a non-profit that helped people vote in Milwaukee and Atlanta in the 2020 General Election. He was the first BD hire at Zoba, an early stage startup that optimizes fleet operations.   Connect with Dhruv Website: https://www.drumkit.ai/  Email: hi@drumkit.ai  

We know we're late to the party, but we had to talk about Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" and all of the discourse surrounding it, or at least try to.Dhruv is joined by (much to his dismay) Varun and his "crime-in-partner" Cris in this endeavour as they tackle one wonder after another (sorry, the title is just unendingly pun-able) that the filmmaking presents, as well as some reservations they have with it. They also try (and mostly succeed at) not being too condescending as they discuss the online buzz around the film since its wide release.

AI can solve Olympic-level math problems... and still fumble basic arithmetic. So what gives? According to Dhruv Batra, the answer lies in the “jaggedness” of intelligence—how AI can excel in some areas while completely breaking down in others. Dhruv, co-founder and Chief Scientist at Yutori, joins Hannah Clark to unpack the cognitive dissonance users feel when a model dazzles one moment and disappoints the next.They explore how user expectations—shaped by decades of intuitive UI patterns and human conversations—often collide with the underlying limits of AI systems. From browser agents and automation to long-term feedback loops and trust-building, this conversation is a candid look at what today's AI can actually do (and where it's still bluffing). If you're building with AI or trying to scope what's possible, this one will recalibrate your expectations—in a good way.Resources from this episode:Subscribe to The CPO Club newsletterConnect with Dhruv on LinkedInCheck out Dhruv's website and Yutori

We recorded an episode about our favorite Paul Thomas Anderson films before the theatrical release of his new film, "One Battle After Another," but are only now releasing it post its online release as a "pre-game" discussion to our episode on OBAA.We track his auteurist trajectory — from the bombastic and tightly constructed "Magnolia" to a more loose-limbed work like "Licorice Pizza" — and discuss why the shift towards a seemingly freer form appeals to us more than the early days of his (incredibly) impressive but demonstratively flashy filmmaking.Listen to the full, spoiler-filled episode to hear Sanjeet, Cris, Dhruv, and the ⁠Cinematic Liberties⁠ Podcast Guys -- Arjun & Ashwin -- discuss their favorite PTA films and (correctly) speculate OBAA's box office fate!You can (and should!) follow -⁠⁠CINEMATIC LIBERTIES PODCAST⁠⁠Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠QID LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/queenisdead.TIME CODESOBAA Speculation: [00:00 - 03:06]Introduction: [03:06 - 05:49]"Magnolia" (& Early PTA): [05:49 - 30:36]"Punch-Drunk Love" (The Breaking Point): [30:36 - 48:21]"There Will Be Blood": [48:21 - 01:04:52]"The Master": [01:04:52 - 01:17:27]The Thomas Pynchon Connection: [01:17:27 - 01:21:44]"Phantom Thread": [01:21:44 - 01:41:47]"Licorice Pizza" (& Late PTA): [01:41:47 - 02:07:08]Outro & OBAA Speculation (again!): [02:07:08 - 02:13:35]You can also follow us on Letterboxd at -SANJEET: https://letterboxd.com/sanjeet_singh/.CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.ARJUN: https://letterboxd.com/arjun_skumar1/.ASHWIN: https://letterboxd.com/ashwindev/.DHRUV: https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/.

August and September were the lucky months for some Indian cinephiles who crave an alternate form of cinema (i.e., indie) to the mainstream one they have to endure for the rest of the time in cinemas.In this episode, Sanjeet, Amartya, Cris & Dhruv (in a not-so-special appearance) catch up to 4 of these films that released in limited cinemas between these two months.Since Neeraj Ghaywan's "Homebound" is the most high-profile of these releases (it is India's submission to the Academy Awards for Best International Feature), we spend the most time (occasionally delving into spoilers) debating the value (or lack thereof) of its indie-ness.The rest of the episode involves Sanjeet promoting Raam Reddy's indescribably beautiful "Jugnuma," Amartya and Cris trying -- unsuccessfully -- to convince Sanjeet to watch the theoretically sound but undeveloped "Humans in the Loop," and all three of them lavishing a lot of praise on Rohan Parashuram Kanawade's tender "Sabar Bonda."Note: We apologize for the audio leak issues that occurred during the first part of the episode. We only noticed this after the "Homebound" discussion was over, so the second half sounds cleaner than the first. Though we like to think that Dhruv's dislike of "Homebound" is what will make people fast-forward through this part of the episode, and not the audio quality.TIME CODESIntroduction - [00:00:00 - 00:02:28]"Homebound" - [00:02:28 - 01:08:22]"Sabar Bonda" - [01:08:22 - 01:38:18]"Humans in the Loop" - [01:38:18 - 01:54:06]"Jugnuma" - [01:54:06 - 02:05:03]Indie Distribution & Exhibition - [02:05:03 - 02:19:08]Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.QID LINKTREE: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/queenisdead⁠⁠⁠.Follow us on Instagram at:Sanjeet: https://www.instagram.com/pixel_baba/Amartya:⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/amartya25/.⁠⁠Dhruv: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/terminalcinema/⁠⁠⁠⁠Cris: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/prdscris/⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Letterboxd at:Sanjeet: https://letterboxd.com/Sanjeet_Singh/Amartya: ⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/amartya/⁠⁠.Dhruv: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/⁠⁠⁠⁠Cris: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/crislim/⁠⁠⁠All Audio Excerpts have been used under the “Fair Use Provisions” of the Indian Copyright Act.

EP.013

Amartya and Dhruv had been desperately waiting for Spike Lee's latest film to release, only because they wanted an excuse to go back and revisit Akira Kurosawa's incredibly influential 1963 classic, "High and Low."This episode -- promoted as an extended deep dive into Spike Lee's exasperatingly absurd (mostly in an amusingly bad way) "Highest 2 Lowest" -- is, in actuality, very much an excuse for both Amartya and Dhruv to also wax lyrical about Kurosawa's original.Listen to the full episode to hear their full spoilerific thoughts on both Kurosawa's original version and Lee's interpretation of it -- and why the 2 (memorable) highs of the latter don't outmatch its (2) many lows.TIME CODESHighs & Lows of Film Criticism: [00:00 - 11:09]For the Impatient Ones: [11:09 - 14:43]Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low": [14:43 - 56:49]Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest": [56:49 - 01:39:11]Outro: [01:39:11 - 01:44:36]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify and rate us if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page:https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcastYou can also follow us on Instagram at:Amartya: https://www.instagram.com/amartya25/Dhruv: https://www.instagram.com/terminalcinema/On Letterboxd at:Dhruv: https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/Amartya: https://letterboxd.com/amartya/

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Dhruv Vig, founder and CEO of Langer Holdings, to discuss how AI is revolutionizing health tech investing. Dhruv shares how legacy investment models are failing to capture the true potential of health tech, the pitfalls of misclassification in ETFs, and why active management and expert-driven curation are the future. Discover how curiosity and a drive to challenge the status quo can lead to industry-changing innovation. Key Takeaways: [1:46] - Legacy Indices Are Outdated"The way we invest in health tech is stuck in the past, legacy indices overlook game-changing companies." [10:44] - Misclassification and Underweighting Are Rampant"Companies are being misclassified, and the best performers are often underweighted in broad market funds." [15:02] - Active Management and Expert Curation Are Essential"You can't trust an algorithm to this. You have to have experts... to clean up the public markets and set the industry standard." [3:17] - Curiosity Drives Disruption"Insatiable curiosity... that's what drives me. I can't sit still. You gotta keep learning, gotta keep asking questions." Quote of the Show (27:07):"When you sit down and look at your portfolio, do the work.

Here's a scenario that'll hit close to home: What do you do when you were crushing your numbers just months ago, but now you can't seem to close anything and your confidence is in the gutter? That's exactly what happened to Dhruv, a business development rep from Saint Louis. After figuring out his rhythm in Q1 and hitting strong performance numbers, he found himself in a two-month slump with low attainment and shattered confidence. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. Every sales professional faces these valleys, and how you respond determines whether you bounce back stronger or spiral further down. The Confidence Crisis: When Success Breeds Complacency Dhruv's story reveals a pattern I see constantly in sales organizations. After a strong Q1, he got comfortable. His dials dropped. He thought he had it all figured out. Sound familiar? Here's the brutal truth: Success without discipline is temporary. The moment you stop following the process that got you there, you're setting yourself up for a fall. When things started going sideways in April, Dhruv did what most salespeople do—he panicked. He started questioning everything, looking for new scripts on LinkedIn, using AI to find the "perfect" approach. Everything except the one thing that would actually help: going back to basics. The Fundamentals Never Go Out of Style I told Dhruv about John Smoltz, the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who spoke at an event I attended. Smoltz explained that when baseball players get into a slump, they start changing everything—looking for magic pills, new techniques, secret solutions. But here's what champions do differently: They go back to the fundamentals. Take Kobe Bryant. Every morning at 4 AM, he'd spend three to four hours working on the same basic skills he learned as a kid. The fundamentals that made him great in the first place. The same principle applies to fanatical prospecting. When you're in a slump, you don't need new techniques—you need to execute the proven process with precision and discipline. Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals: The Confidence Builder When your confidence is shaken, outcome goals become your enemy. Focusing on "I need to close three deals this week" when you're struggling just adds pressure and anxiety. Instead, shift to process goals: How many calls will you make today? Are you using your five-step framework consistently? Are you delivering your ledge statements with conviction? Are you following up with discipline? I shared with Dhruv my own experience from when I was 24 and going through a terrible quarter. I was so down I didn't want to come to work. Here's how I climbed out: I started with 10-minute call blocks. Call for 10 minutes, then read three pages of an inspirational sales book as a reward. Rinse and repeat. Within 30 days, I was performing well. Within 90 days, I was the number one rep in my region. The key wasn't finding a secret technique. It was trusting the process in shorter, manageable increments. The Economic Reality: When Markets Tighten, Double Down Dhruv's slump coincided with companies pulling back on spending. But here's what most reps get wrong: When markets tighten, you need to make more calls, not fewer. The prospects with budget and urgency are still out there, they're just harder to find. That means more activity, not less. More discipline, not shortcuts. This is exactly what I cover in Selling in a Crisis—when economic conditions get tough, the fundamentals become even more critical. Your Confidence Comeback Action Plan If you're in a confidence slump right now, here's your roadmap back: Stop Looking for Magic Solutions Get off LinkedIn. Stop asking AI for the perfect script. The answer isn't out there—it's in the process you already know works. Break It Down When confidence is low, work in shorter blocks. Fifteen-minute call sessions with quick wins and self-recognition for executing the process correctly. Focus on the Process Track your activities, not just your outcomes. How many dials? How many conversations? How many discovery questions asked? Celebrate the process execution. Get Back to Your Routine Just like my golf recovery story, when things go sideways, don't change everything—get back to your proven routine and rhythm. Double Down on Activity If the market is tighter, you need more activity to find the same opportunities. More calls, more emails, more touchpoints. The Mental Game: Confidence Comes From Within Here's what I told Dhruv, and what I'm telling you: I can't give you confidence. Confidence comes from the inside, not from the outside. Yes, success builds confidence. But when you're not getting external validation, the only place confidence comes from is your commitment to the process. Every time you make that call when you don't feel like it, every time you follow the script when you want to wing it, every time you push through the discomfort—that's where real confidence is built. The Bottom Line Your slump isn't permanent. Your confidence crisis isn't career-ending. But your response determines everything. Stop looking for shortcuts. Stop changing what already worked. Trust the process that got you there in the first place, and execute it with the discipline of a champion. Remember: The fundamentals never fail—we just fail to execute them consistently. Get back to basics. Trust the process. Make the calls. That's how you build lasting confidence. That's how you turn slumps into comebacks. And that's how you develop into an elite sales professional who can weather any storm. Ready to master the fundamentals that build unshakeable confidence? Check out our comprehensive prospecting and pipeline management training to develop the skills and mindset of elite performers.

Here's a scenario that'll hit close to home: What do you do when you were crushing your numbers just months ago, but now you can't seem to close anything and your confidence is in the gutter? That's exactly what happened to Dhruv, a business development rep from Saint Louis. After figuring out his rhythm in Q1 and hitting strong performance numbers, he found himself in a two-month slump with low attainment and shattered confidence. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. Every sales professional faces these valleys, and how you respond determines whether you bounce back stronger or spiral further down. The Confidence Crisis: When Success Breeds Complacency Dhruv's story reveals a pattern I see constantly in sales organizations. After a strong Q1, he got comfortable. His dials dropped. He thought he had it all figured out. Sound familiar? Here's the brutal truth: Success without discipline is temporary. The moment you stop following the process that got you there, you're setting yourself up for a fall. When things started going sideways in April, Dhruv did what most salespeople do—he panicked. He started questioning everything, looking for new scripts on LinkedIn, using AI to find the "perfect" approach. Everything except the one thing that would actually help: going back to basics. The Fundamentals Never Go Out of Style I told Dhruv about John Smoltz, the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who spoke at an event I attended. Smoltz explained that when baseball players get into a slump, they start changing everything—looking for magic pills, new techniques, secret solutions. But here's what champions do differently: They go back to the fundamentals. Take Kobe Bryant. Every morning at 4 AM, he'd spend three to four hours working on the same basic skills he learned as a kid. The fundamentals that made him great in the first place. The same principle applies to fanatical prospecting. When you're in a slump, you don't need new techniques—you need to execute the proven process with precision and discipline. Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals: The Confidence Builder When your confidence is shaken, outcome goals become your enemy. Focusing on "I need to close three deals this week" when you're struggling just adds pressure and anxiety. Instead, shift to process goals: How many calls will you make today? Are you using your five-step framework consistently? Are you delivering your ledge statements with conviction? Are you following up with discipline? I shared with Dhruv my own experience from when I was 24 and going through a terrible quarter. I was so down I didn't want to come to work. Here's how I climbed out: I started with 10-minute call blocks. Call for 10 minutes, then read three pages of an inspirational sales book as a reward. Rinse and repeat. Within 30 days, I was performing well. Within 90 days, I was the number one rep in my region. The key wasn't finding a secret technique. It was trusting the process in shorter, manageable increments. The Economic Reality: When Markets Tighten, Double Down Dhruv's slump coincided with companies pulling back on spending. But here's what most reps get wrong: When markets tighten, you need to make more calls, not fewer. The prospects with budget and urgency are still out there, they're just harder to find. That means more activity, not less. More discipline, not shortcuts. This is exactly what I cover in Selling in a Crisis—when economic conditions get tough, the fundamentals become even more critical. Your Confidence Comeback Action Plan If you're in a confidence slump right now, here's your roadmap back: Stop Looking for Magic Solutions Get off LinkedIn. Stop asking AI for the perfect script. The answer isn't out there—it's in the process you already know works. Break It Down When confidence is low, work in shorter blocks. Fifteen-minute call sessions with quick wins and self-recognition for executing the p...
