Dr. Svoboda explains our tumultuous world through the lens of Rahu, an Indian shadow planet which is darkly influencing our society. This week on Living with Reality, Dr. Svoboda shares:The confusing, multi-polar, world which we are living inThe current manifestation of Rahu (a shadow planet in Indian Astrology)The myth of The Churning of the Ocean of Milk and Rahu's cosmic originHow those influenced by Rahu are highly interested in scheming, immortality, and grandiosity The three times of Rahu in the United States (The birth of the United States & Revolutionary War, 1895-1913, and 2015-current times)Tremendous concentrations of wealth vs. poverty and great confusion around the truthNavigating how to live through 8 more years of Rahu The current U.S. president as an incarnation of RahuGrandiosity, spiritual inflation, and ego-driven delusions in times of RahuFollowing Ayurveda and being with Sangha as antidotes to the effects of RahuPutting our focus on nature, our guru, and a vision of a more peaceful future“Human beings are being strongly influenced by shadows, in particular the shadows on their screens. Yes, those are colorful shadows and they're back-lit, but they're still shadows. They're representations of reality that claim to be real, when in fact they're simply shadowy images. Image more than actual reality is what Rahu is all about.” – Dr. SvobodaAbout Dr. Robert Svoboda:Dr. Robert Svoboda is the first Westerner ever to graduate from a college of Ayurveda and be licensed to practice Ayurveda in India.

There is research to show that climate washing is on the uptick along with a growing trend by companies worldwide to utilise carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions. The trend (carbon offsetting) is driven largely by companies making net-zero pledges. However in the absence of standardised frameworks and regulations claims of greenwashing can undermine the credibility of carbon mitigation efforts examples: overstating the impact, under reporting harm to communities or environmentTo understand the ecosystem better I spoke with Shreya Garg, a seasoned climate professional and auditor to share her expertise on the dynamics of the carbon markets. Independent auditors are key to building trust in carbon markets by provide objective assessment of projects, prevent misrepresentation of data.

It's not for the faint of heart: succeeding as a manufacturer in the fiercely competitive solar and energy storage industries. So, why do some companies thrive, while others fail? As relatively young industries, clean energy markets offer rapid opportunities – but they can disappear just as quickly. The solar industry, in particular, has seen a long list of manufacturers rise and fall amid shifting market forces and policy landscapes. Today, with solar nearing maturity and battery storage following close behind, there's renewed optimism. Greater policy stability, growing investor confidence, and economies of scale could pave the way for a more resilient and diverse manufacturing ecosystem. How this plays out will vary across regions – making it all the more important to examine what's working, what's not, and what lessons we can take forward. Jonathan Gifford discusses in this podcast with Ivan Saha, Sebastian Gatz, and Josefin Berg, why the competition in the solar industry and energy storage market is so challenging. About the Speakers Ivan Saha is the CEO of Renewable Manufacturing at Reliance Infrastructure (Rinfra). Before this, he worked at the Indian solar manufacturer Vikram Solar for nearly a decade, serving as both CTO and CEO. Sebastian Gatz is the Vice President, Renewable Energies & Strategic Partnerships at Von Ardenne. Before joining Von Ardenne, Gatz had diverse experience with production equipment suppliers, including Meyer Burger and Manz. Josefin Berg is a Research & Analysis Manager for Solar & Energy Storage at S&P Global Commodity Insights. She has worked in solar and storage analysis at IHS Markit, which was then acquired by S&P, for approximately 15 years.

In this globe-trotting episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are joined once again by Rob Carter, one-third of the “Maltmigos,” for a single malt tasting session that travels from the Himalayas to the Highlands. Though Amzie couldn't make the show this time, the malt trio powers forward from their tasting post at The Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky. The spotlight this episode is on Royal Tiger Single Malt, a double-cask expression from Ocean King Distillers in Goa, India. Distilled by Craig Enriques, this single malt is made from six-row Himalayan barley and aged first in new ex-bourbon casks before being re-casked for a second maturation. The result? A spirit layered with creamy vanilla, overripe pear, honey-drizzled bread, and a whisper of spice from the oak—delightfully balanced and surprisingly sweet for fans of traditional single malt. Jim, Todd, and Rob dig into the expression's structure, remarking on its buttercream and vanilla-laced nose, light body, and smooth, sweet finish. They note that while the whiskey skews a little sweeter than their usual fare, it offers a refreshing break from the bolder, high-proof bourbons they typically favor. For a $49 bottle, the consensus was unanimous: this Indian single malt punches well above its weight. Other expressions tasted during the show are Ice Cream from Glenmorangie, Loch Lemond and Glen Scotia. As they sip, the conversation ranges from distilling techniques to global whiskey culture. The team highlights India's rapidly growing single malt scene and how regional water sources, climate, and local grain are contributing to distinct profiles that rival the best from Scotland or the U.S. They also muse about the potential for single malt cream liqueurs and whether peated versions could offer a new kind of dessert dram. Beyond the glass, the hosts discuss upcoming barrel picks in western Kentucky, share travel plans to Fort Campbell and Clarksville, and reflect on the value of tasting outside your comfort zone. For Rob, this was a first-time single malt deep dive; for listeners, it's a lesson in palate exploration, regional nuance, and just plain good company. So whether you're a bourbon loyalist or a curious malthead, this episode is an open invitation to explore a world of flavor—no passport required.

In this episode of the Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo dives into the complex and controversial legacy of President Andrew Jackson, focusing on one of the most debated policies of his presidency: the Indian Removal Act. Through historical context and Jackson's own reasoning, the episode explores how a man once hailed as a champion of the “common man” also presided over one of the darkest chapters in American history—the forced relocation of Native American tribes along the Trail of Tears. Mr. Palumbo examines the political, economic, and cultural motives behind removal, Jackson's belief that it was a necessary measure to preserve Native lives, and how this moment in history clashes with modern values of diversity and inclusion.

Traditionally, the Indian civil services have been a male bastion. Back in the 1950s, when the first woman IAS officer was appointed, a woman could be disqualified from service for getting married. Seven decades later, 1 out of 5 secretaries serving in the Government of India is a woman. From corporate to economic affairs, health to legal affairs--women officers are at the helm in several central ministries. At the level of recruitment, in the last few years, 27-30 percent of those who qualify for the civil services have been women.

When cultural fusion meets metal's raw power, something magical happens. That's exactly what we experienced witnessing BABYMETAL and BLOODYWOOD share a stage at Mohegan Arena—a concert that showcased the global evolution of heavy metal and left us breathless despite some venue challenges.BLOODYWOOD exploded onto the stage with their unique blend of traditional Indian instrumentation and modern metal, immediately converting new listeners with their wall of sound approach. Since their beginnings covering metal classics on YouTube in 2016-2018, they've developed into a powerhouse combining bhangra rhythms, hindi drums, and crushing guitars. What makes them truly special isn't just their musical innovation, but their dedication to social causes—using their platform to speak against sexual assault, raise funds for mental health services in India, and support animal welfare. Their song "Ari Ari," transforming a traditional wedding song into a metal anthem, perfectly encapsulates their genius for cultural fusion.BABYMETAL followed with a performance showcasing their evolution from kawaii metal teens to commanding women owning the stage. Their elaborate mythology-driven introduction set the stage for precision choreography, powerful vocals, and a masterclass in theatrical metal. The backing band delivered incredible instrumental skill, particularly during spotlight moments for guitar and drums. Classic hits like "Gimme Chocolate" and "Headbanger" demonstrated why metal legends from Judas Priest to Metallica have embraced them. The highlight? Seeing both groups perform their collaboration "Bekhauf" together—a rare moment where Japanese kawaii metal and Indian folk metal created something entirely new.Despite bass-heavy acoustics challenges that sometimes overwhelmed the arena, both bands demonstrated professional resilience by adjusting their sound and maintaining phenomenal energy throughout. This concert wasn't just entertainment—it was a glimpse into metal's exciting future as a vehicle for cultural exchange and shared energy across continents.

A new MP3 sermon from The World View in 5 Minutes is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Indian state to demolish 100s of churches Subtitle: The World View in Five Minutes Speaker: Adam McManus Broadcaster: The World View in 5 Minutes Event: Current Events Date: 7/16/2025 Length: 6 min.
SummaryThis lecture discussion explores the evolution of the Commerce Clause, located in Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution, which empowers Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among the several states, and with Indian tribes. Initially intended to prevent economic fragmentation among the states under the Articles of Confederation, the clause has since become a cornerstone of federal legislative authority. The lecture traces the doctrine's development from early cases like Gibbons v. Ogden, which established a broad interpretation of interstate commerce, through periods of judicial contraction during the Lochner era, and into its expansive use during the New Deal era with cases like Wickard v. Filburn. It also covers the modern Court's retrenchment in United States v. Lopez and Morrison, reaffirming limits on federal power. The lecture concludes with analysis of Gonzales v. Raich, the Affordable Care Act case (NFIB v. Sebelius), and the interplay between the Commerce Clause, the Necessary and Proper Clause, and the Tenth Amendment, providing students with a framework to understand the clause's reach and limitations in contemporary constitutional law.Key TakeawaysCommerce Clause Authority: Congress has the power to regulate channels, instrumentalities, and activities substantially affecting interstate commerce.Early Interpretations: Gibbons v. Ogden broadly defined “commerce” and Congress's authority over it.Judicial Contraction: Cases like E.C. Knight and Hammer v. Dagenhart restricted commerce power by excluding manufacturing and production.New Deal Expansion: NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel and Wickard v. Filburn upheld federal regulation of intrastate activities with substantial economic effects.Civil Rights and Commerce: Heart of Atlanta Motel and Katzenbach v. McClung affirmed Congress's authority to address racial discrimination through commerce power.Modern Limits: Lopez and Morrison reasserted that non-economic activities and areas of traditional state concern fall outside commerce power.Necessary and Proper Clause: Raich shows Congress may regulate intrastate activity if essential to a broader regulatory scheme.Tenth Amendment Constraints: Federal power under the Commerce Clause cannot commandeer state governments (New York v. United States, Printz).Affordable Care Act: In NFIB v. Sebelius, the individual mandate exceeded commerce power but was upheld under the taxing power.Doctrinal Framework: The three-category test for Commerce Clause regulation guides constitutional analysis post-Lopez.

We sat down to discuss England's win at Lord's.We discussed why Jadeja should have attacked more, why is this team so defensive?, what is the secret of Ben Stokes' energy? (No we didn't) but definitely marvelled at Archer's return and the dangers of Siraj being overbowled before looking ahead to the Manchester Test where we think Kuldeep is a must (heck, we thought he was a must in all tests).There is sadly no media review but an observation that the Indian fan and YT creators ended up defending this selection as the game went on.

El 2 de mayo de 1976 debutaba en el GP de España, en el Jarama, el único monoplaza de 6 ruedas que ha corrido en la F1. Ya estaba allí. Y lo que pasó a partir de ese momento, te lo han contado muchas veces, pero ¿cuántas te han contado lo que sucedió antes? Es lo que vamos a hacer en este podcast. Como siempre comenzamos poniéndonos en antecedentes. Y para eso nos vamos a las temporadas anteriores, a los años 1974 y 1975. Y analicemos la parrilla, porque eso nos ayudará a entender muchas cosas. Porque en esos años la inmensa mayoría de los equipos utilizaban el motor V8 Ford Cosworth DFV y había una cierta obsesión por Ferrari. Todas las escuderías tenían claro que Ferrari jugaba con ventaja gracias a sus potentes motores de 12 cilindros. Cuando llegaban las rectas largas y sobre todo la recta principal, donde se producen la mayoría de los adelantamientos, nadie podía con los Ferrari y sus 12 cilindros, lo que obsesionaba a todas las escuderías de la F1, entre ellas a Tyrrel, propiedad el británico Ken Tyrrel, que había ganado el Mundial de Constructores en 1971 y los de pilotos en 1971 y 1973 con el ahora Sir Jackie Stewart… Ken veía difícil reverdecer laureles si no hacia algo “diferente”. En lo que sí se parecen mucho los F1 actuales y los de esos años es en su pésimo CX… ¡mucho peor que el de un camión! Y no solo por lo alerones, sino porque al llevar las ruedas descubiertas y al girar a mucha velocidad producen remolinos y turbulencias que suponen un verdadero freno al avance. Ken Tyrrell no dejaba de darle vueltas a cómo mejorar la penetración aerodinámica de sus coches y hablo de ello con Derek Gardner. Derek pensó que un monoplaza con un tren delantero más estrecho y ruedas de menor diámetro serien una solución magnifica para conseguir que el Tyrrel fuese más rápido en rectas… pero lo perdería todo en las curvas. Y el genio de Gardner pensó: ¿Y si pongo en vez de dos ruedas delanteras grandes 4 pequeñas? Gardner con un dibujo casi infantil de un antiguo proyecto pensado para la 500 Millas de Indianápolis consiguió convencer a Ken… increíble. Las 4 ruedas delanteras de 10 pulgadas permitían un morro muy afilado, una mejor penetración en el aire, que Derek Gardner suponía un 20 por ciento más favorable, lo que redundaría en una velocidad punta mayor en recta. Además, en curva la superficie de contacto de las 4 ruedas pequeñas sería más o menos la misma que con los dos grandes y los cuatro pequeños frenos tendrían una superficie de barrido igual e incluso superior. En agua las “primeras” ruedas delanteras quitarían el agua a las “segundas ruedas delanteras” y en caso de pinchazo, no era tan peligroso… Gracias a los esfuerzos del equipo se superaron mucho inconveniente y todo encajaba. ¿O no? El 22 de septiembre de 1975, en el Hotel Heathrow Hilton de Londres, Ken Tyrrel congrega a la prensa especializada y a buena parte del mundillo de la F1 para presentar su “P34” o “Project 34” o “Proyecto 34” como queráis. Al descubrir la lona que tapaba el coche los presentes no daban crédito a lo que veían y fueron muchos los malpensados que dijeron que era una maniobra de marketing para llamar la atención… ya verían que no. Pero el escepticismo era el denominador común… veamos algunas opiniones del momento: Frank Williams, propietario de su propio equipo: “No soy ingeniero, pero soy escéptico. Espero que no funcione, ya que ello nos costaría por lo menos seis meses para ponernos a su mismo nivel”. Gordon Murray, diseñador de Brabham: “Tendrán grandes problemas para hacerlo funcionar como se debe en las curvas, porque esto contrasta con las leyes fundamentales sobre la proyección de suspensiones. En cambio, andará muy bien corriendo sobre la nieve”. Sarcasmo. Harvey Postlethwaite, diseñador de Hesketh: “Se darán cuenta de que será imposible hacer funcionar esta idea. Todas las ventajas que puedan obtener con esta disposición quedarán a un lado ante la imposibilidad de ponerlo a punto. Por otra parte, será prácticamente imposible equilibrar el coche”. Peter Warr, jefe de Lotus: “Como idea para reducir la zona frontal y aumentar la velocidad me parece óptima, desde lo técnico será muy difícil de llevarlo a la práctica y dudo de que tenga éxito”. Teddy Mayer, jefe de McLaren: “Desde el punto de vista técnico será muy difícil de llevarlo a la práctica y dudo de que tenga éxito”. El debut tuvo lugar en el GP de España de F1 disputado en el Jarama, mi circuito, los días 1 y 2 de mayo de 1976. Debuto un solo coche que fue para Depailler, el más “entregado” a la causa de los dos pilotos. Para sorpresa de todos Depailler consiguió el tercer puesto de la parrilla al primer intento, muy por delante de su compañero de equipo. Más tarde problemas de frenos, en la vuelta 26, obligaron al abandono, pero la demostración estaba hecha. Al cuarto intento, en el GP de Suecia, los dos coches de 6 ruedas conseguían un doblete para la historia. Lo que os decía antes de los injusta que es la vida: La marca de ser el único piloto en ganar una prueba de F1 con un coche de 6 ruedas se quedará probablemente para siempre, en manos de Jody Scheckter… cuando la merecía más Depailler… La temporada 77 el coche perdió parte de su espíritu, con las vías ensanchadas, una carrocería más amplia, un chasis más pesado… y una escasa evolución de los neumáticos por parte de Goodyear… A perro enfermo todo son pulgas y la llegada de Ronnie Peterson, un talentoso piloto que sustituyo a Jody, no fue suficiente. El Gran Premio de Japón de 1977 fue su última carrera oficial, porque luego corrió en la F1 clásica. Resulta curioso que el P34 sustituyo al Tyrrel 007, pero al P34 no lo siguió un 009, sino un 008… ¿la propia Tyrrel los “ninguneaba”? No lo sé, pero el 008 diseñado por Maurice Phillippe estaba en las antípodas del P34 porque era un coche que no podía ser más conservador. Solo consiguió dos podios. Conclusión. Me voy a repetir diciendo que echo de menos los años en que el reglamento de la F1 era más permisivo de dio lugar a coches como este… Ahora que un coche te sorprenda… no es un milagro, sencillamente es imposible.
In this episode, we're discussing a brand-new book titled I WILL BLOSSOM ANYWAY by Disha Bose. This is a book about a young expat, Durga, who has moved from her native Calcutta, India to Ireland. Durga comes from an educated, middle-class family that observes traditional Indian ways, including “arranged” marriages. Durga is anxious to escape what she thinks of as the confines of her family and learn who she is without them around telling her who she must be. However, leaving their opinions behind is not as easy as she thinks it will be. This novel explores cultural differences and family conflicts but in a tender way. It would be a great beach read.

The John Redhouse book tour makes its way to Albuquerque where comrades from Red Nation, Dr. Jennifer Denetdale and Red Power Hour co-host Melanie Yazzie join author John Redhouse to discuss his new book, Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel Press Release: "From the late summer of 1972 to the late summer of 1974, John Redhouse and many other Navajo and Indian rights activists threw all they had into mass movement organizing and direct action. And they were pretty good at it too in terms of effectiveness and impact. Written in the first-person and above all, with a collective spirit of generosity and witness, John Redhouse describes the hot temper of the times in the racist and exploitative border towns in the Four Corners area of the Southwest region. As John Redhouse says, “Without the People, you have nothing. But back then, we had a lot of people WITH us.” Yes, the Power of the People, the collective human spirit of the emerging local and regional Indian civil movement, thousands of us marching in the streets of Gallup and Farmington in northwestern New Mexico with our demands. A bold citizen's arrest at city hall, a downtown street riot, burning images of enemy leaders in effigy. And more marches, demonstrations, and direct actions. Above all, though, there was that Spirit—that unbroken, unconquerable spirit—that moved us, that drove us, that led us. And that was just in the border towns. In that turbulent decade, there was also the rapidly rising and spreading with-the-people, on-the-land resistance struggles in the coal, uranium, and oil and gas fields, and in disputed territories in the San Juan and Black Mesa basins that were targeted for ethnic cleansing and mineral extraction. Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s brings readers to the enduring issues of the day, traced over half a century ago, where John Redhouse and many more were in the middle of a revolution that unfolds to this day."

Mike Finch has a Doctorate in Math and Theoretical Physics. He is also a Fellow of the International Society for Philosophers. Like many people I know, he was on a meditation journey and ended up with an Indian guru, then called “Guru Maharaji,” then just “Maharaji,” and later only by his given name: Prem Rawat. Mike was able to leave Rawat in 2000. Since then, Mike's interests have included the exploration of why he surrendered to the guru, how he stayed for 30 years, and now how to deal with the aftermath. Mike's book, Without the Guru: How I took My Life Back after Thirty Years (published in 2009), explores Mike's journey into this rigid belief system, how he realized he was trapped in a cult, and then how he broke away.

John sits down with Scottish artist, producer and DJ Josh Mainnie, better known as Barry Can't Swim, and producer O' Flynn to discuss how they wrote and recorded the album ‘Loner'. Josh first began releasing under the alias Barry Can't Swim in 2019, releasing a stream of singles that began attracting attention for their melodic, dance-driven style. In 2023, he released his first full-length album, ‘When Will We Land?', which became a huge success, earning him nominations for the Mercury Prize and at the BRIT Awards. ‘Loner' released in July 2025, sees him reflect on his newfound fame and place in the industry, whilst maintaining his signature high energy beats and captivating soundscapes. Sitting down with Josh, and later with collaborator O'Flynn, the conversation dives into the album-making process. They explore Josh's sampling techniques, the ideal mindset and headspace for creating great music, and the stories behind capturing sounds from unexpected places, like the toilets of an Indian restaurant, and turning them into tracks.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin [In the Dioceses of the United States] Lectionary: 389The Saint of the day is Saint Kateri TekakwithaSaint Kateri Tekakwitha’s Story The blood of martyrs is the seed of saints. Nine years after the Jesuits Isaac Jogues and Jean de Lelande were tomahawked by Iroquois warriors, a baby girl was born near the place of their martyrdom, Auriesville, New York. Her mother was a Christian Algonquin, taken captive by the Iroquois and given as wife to the chief of the Mohawk clan, the boldest and fiercest of the Five Nations. When she was four, Tekakwitha lost her parents and little brother in a smallpox epidemic that left her disfigured and half blind. She was adopted by an uncle, who succeeded her father as chief. He hated the coming of the Blackrobes—Jesuit missionaries—but could do nothing to them because a peace treaty with the French required their presence in villages with Christian captives. She was moved by the words of three Blackrobes who lodged with her uncle, but fear of him kept her from seeking instruction. Tekakwitha refused to marry a Mohawk brave, and at 19 finally got the courage to take the step of converting. She was baptized with the name Kateri–Catherine–on Easter Sunday. Now she would be treated as a slave. Because she would not work on Sunday, Kateri received no food that day. Her life in grace grew rapidly. She told a missionary that she often meditated on the great dignity of being baptized. She was powerfully moved by God's love for human beings and saw the dignity of each of her people. She was always in danger, for her conversion and holy life created great opposition. On the advice of a priest, Kateri stole away one night and began a 200-mile walking journey to a Christian Indian village at Sault St. Louis, near Montreal. For three years she grew in holiness under the direction of a priest and an older Iroquois woman, giving herself totally to God in long hours of prayer, in charity, and in strenuous penance. At 23, Kateri took a vow of virginity, an unprecedented act for an Indian woman whose future depended on being married. She found a place in the woods where she could pray an hour a day—and was accused of meeting a man there! Her dedication to virginity was instinctive: Kateri did not know about religious life for women until she visited Montreal. Inspired by this, she and two friends wanted to start a community, but the local priest dissuaded her. She humbly accepted an “ordinary” life. She practiced extremely severe fasting as penance for the conversion of her nation. Kateri Tekakwitha died the afternoon before Holy Thursday. Witnesses said that her emaciated face changed color and became like that of a healthy child. The lines of suffering, even the pockmarks, disappeared and the touch of a smile came upon her lips. She was beatified in 1980 and canonized in 2012. Reflection We like to think that our proposed holiness is thwarted by our situation. If only we could have more solitude, less opposition, better health. Kateri Tekakwitha repeats the example of the saints: Holiness thrives on the cross, anywhere. Yet she did have what Christians—all people—need: the support of a community. She had a good mother, helpful priests, Christian friends. These were present in what we call primitive conditions, and blossomed in the age-old Christian triad of prayer, fasting and almsgiving: union with God in Jesus and the Spirit, self-discipline and often suffering, and charity for her brothers and sisters. Saint Kateri Tekakwitha is the Patron Saint of: Indigenous Americans Click here for more on this great saint! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Why you should listenGaurav shares how Jeeva.ai is revolutionizing sales automation by making AI-powered outreach as simple as ChatGPT, without the complexity of tools like Clay.Learn how to cut through the noise of generic AI outreach with personalized, multi-channel strategies that actually improve deliverability and response rates.Discover the future of sales technology and why natural language interfaces will replace complex CRM workflows - plus get insights from a Forbes 30 Under 30 founder backed by Mark Benioff.Your clients' sales teams are drowning in CRM busywork, spending hours on data entry and lead research instead of actually selling. Meanwhile, their cold outreach campaigns are getting lost in the noise of AI-generated spam, delivering terrible conversion rates despite all the time invested. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone - and there's finally a solution. In this episode, I sit down with Gaurav Bhattacharya, CEO of Jeeva.ai, who's built the AI sales automation platform that's changing everything. Gaurav is a repeat B2B SaaS founder who went from creating a radiology tool adopted by the Indian government at age 17 to raising over $20M and hitting $7M revenue in just 12 months with his latest venture. We dive deep into how Jeeva.ai eliminates the biggest pain points in modern sales - from automated lead research and data enrichment to personalized outreach across multiple channels. You'll discover why most outbound tools are actually making the spam problem worse, how to improve email deliverability in an AI-saturated market, and why the future belongs to natural language interfaces that work where sales teams actually spend their time.About Gaurav BhattacharyaGaurav Bhattacharya is a repeat B2B SaaS founder and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree who's built, scaled, and exited startups before most founders finish their MVP. Currently the CEO of Jeeva.ai, he's leading the charge in automating outbound AI-powered SDR agents — helping B2B teams 2x their pipeline in half the time (and cost).Before Jeeva, he co-founded involve.ai, a customer intelligence platform that grew to 500+ companies and 1.1M users globally. He raised over $20M from top investors like Sapphire Ventures, Stanford University, and Gokul Rajaram — and hit $5M ARR in under 9 months with just 11 people.But Gaurav's story starts even earlier — at 17, he co-built a radiology tool that the Indian government adopted nationwide to fight sex-selective abortions. He's been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, LA Business Journal, and top startup podcasts — and he's not here to preach theory. Gaurav brings real-world operator lessons, raw founder stories, and tactical GTM frameworks that listeners can steal and ship the same day.When he's not building, he's probably over-caffeinating, mentoring founders, or geeking out on outbound psychology.Resources and LinksJeeva.aiGaurav's LinkedIn profileGet Jeeva at 90% off on your first yearElevenlabs.ioCaptions.aiHeygen.comChatgpt.com593

Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as the evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last gochampion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism.” and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white gostones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language, itself. 1940
