In this week's interview episode with Yamini Naidu, we talk about starting with fire, small talk vs big talk, being a new migrant, the power of good enough, how doubt can be a fierce friend, mentorship, the power of working in peer groups, what makes a good story, the hero & heroine’s journey, realistic over blindly positive self-talk, rituals, and doing the work while letting go of expectations.

The philosophy of  Abhyāsa, a Sanskrit word, means taking a seat in the work, practice and regularity. Show up and do the work. It may be unexciting, unsexy advice, but no matter how gifted, quick thinking and spontaneous you are, you will always do better if you are well prepared.Another Sanskrit word, Vairagya means non-attachment to the outcomes. It frees you from the disappointment of your expectations.
