Ep. 7: Hope ft. Ankur Warikoo

If there's one word I'd use to describe Ankur.. it would be
"Hope". He's hopeful for the future of content, education,
entrepreneurship and so much more in the world.


Let me be honest: THIS WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE AN EPISODE ON THIS
PODCAST. However, I couldn't resist. This was one of the most
honest conversations I've had yet. I was 'hopeful' when I jumped
on his Instagram Live session. I was 'hopeful' when I asked him
if I could interview him and he said yes on that session. 


I am also 'hopeful' about everything, just as we all are.. that
everything will work out fine and that life finds a way. That's
the exact sentiment that Ankur approaches life with and I hope
you will take that with you after listening to this. We talk
about EVERYTHING! Tech, Family, Love, Life and so much more! This
was an improvised edition of the podcast and I hope you enjoy
listening to it!
