The Beginner's Privilege

Hey Beyonder! 👋
Something big happened last week. And honestly, I'm still thinking about it.
The Roundtable That Changed My Mind
Remember that roundtable podcast I mentioned? Well, it finally happened over the weekend.
Walking into that room was... intense. Picture this: me, with my 2-3 years of experience, sitting across from people who've been crushing it for 15-20+ years.
My first thought? "What am I doing here?"
But here's what hit me during the shoot. That feeling of being the "least experienced" person? That's actually my superpower.
People don't watch my content because I have all the answers. They watch because I ask the same questions they would ask. I represent them in those conversations.

Behind the scenes of a big podcast day!
More Time with My Team Than Ever
This week was special for another reason. I spent more time with my team than I probably have in any single week since we started.
There's something beautiful about working alongside people who get your vision. We weren't just colleagues this week. We were collaborators building something bigger.
A Story That Stopped Me in My Tracks
We also dropped a new podcast episode with Prakash Palani. His story? It floored me.
This man grew up in a house so small they had to hang their kitchen utensils from the ceiling with no shelves or storage
Today? He doesn't just own a bigger house. He owns multiple homes.
That contrast. That journey from hanging utensils on the ceiling to owning multiple properties. That's exactly why I do this podcast.
These stories remind us that where you start doesn't define where you finish.
What's Coming Next
I'm buzzing with excitement about the next 10 days. Two major videos are about to drop on YouTube:
The Zoho collaboration
My home tour
These aren't your typical "sit and shoot" videos. The team has been putting in serious work. Planning. Prepping. Going all in.

Editing in Progress ….
Both videos mean a lot to me. They're different from what we usually do, but sometimes different is exactly what you need.
The Hunt for Something Bigger
Here's what's really on my mind lately.
After talking to so many entrepreneurs on the podcast, I keep thinking: "What's next for me?"
I want to build something new. Something meaningful. Something that solves a real problem for real people.
I don't have the answer yet. But I'm in that exciting phase where I'm hunting for problems to solve.
Some people find this uncertainty scary. But I find it thrilling.
Because the best opportunities usually come when you're looking for them. When you're curious. When you're ready to say yes to something you hadn't planned for.

Between everything else, been trying out some healthy stuff too.
Where This Goes
I don't know exactly where this journey leads. But I know I'm excited about the ride.
Maybe it's a new product. Maybe it's a service. Maybe it's something completely different.
What I do know is this: being in the problem-hunting phase feels like exactly where I need to be right now.
