"life is temporary, it's short, time's running out - even though there might be scepticism about what you're doing, just do it"
In Part 1 we focused what Anand Mistry took from his family backstory and upbringing that inspired him along the journey to creating ProjectChakra and what he learnt from his first visit to India. We also got to understand what he gained from his time there that made it obvious what path he knew he had to take, and something that life in a corporate career wouldn’t be able to offer.
"happiness is when what you think, say, and do, are in alignment; and projectCHAKRA enables me to action what I think and say" [Anand Mistry]
In Part 2, we find out what came next for him following the decision to dive all-in on social entrepreneurship. This is arguably the more important part of the conversation, which includes the valuable lessons YOU will be able learn from if you’re thinking about pursuing anything that you have a special interest or passion for, or are in the process of doing so already.
Expect to learn how to deal with the internal and external pushback you’ll inevitably go through when trying something different to the friends and family around you, how to not let perfectionism stop action, what it’s like coming from a culture that’s frugal with their money, aligning your values with your actions, and lots more.

This is something I've heard @ChrisWillx refer to as the 'lonely transition period'
When you're focused on bettering yourself, you might find yourself cutting off relationships and habits that don't align or hinder that journey of self-development and personal growth. If no one else around is trying to change in the same way, it's easy to feel isolated and eventually even lose motivation. As you adopt these new habits or hobbies, you may drift apart from some friends or family who don't understand your growth
In the full conversation, my guest shares advice on how to effectively manage and overcome this period of loneliness when on your own path of self-development, and how he managed to navigate this experience on more tha one occassion through his own journey - and you can listen to it here:

I was told "I can't see anything in these cofounders that make the right people to start this business" [Varun Bhanot]
In this highlight, I share the phenomena of 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' and the various negative effects, some more severe than others, that this has on not only Young Founders, but anyone from a certain gender, background or level of experience who have been subject to it.
Varun Bhanot, who was recently awarded 'Technology Entrepreneur of the Year 2023' at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, then shares some of the harshly negative comments he received when him and his co-founder first looked to raise funds for their Home AI Gym, MagicAI.
