Today my guest is Samuel Nicholls who is a Diplomat working at the UK Foreign Office. He also co-founded and run a social enterprise called TipStart. His mission is to harness the motivation and social responsibility of graduates to disrupt privilege in employment.
TipStart is a for-profit social enterprise that uses a digital platform to connect graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds with firms struggling to recruit diverse talent. Through these connections, the graduates improve their awareness of the sector they want to work in, increase the size of their professional network and increase their personal confidence. The firms involved are able to build a new diverse recruitment pipeline as well as offering a compelling learning and development opportunity to their staff.

We are all going through fear, uncertainty, disruption, isolation through out this pandemic and it's not over yet. But I truly believe it will get better eventually. One of the key realisation for me through the time was the importance of human connection and support network for me. I talk a lot about mindfulness, mindset and show my appreciation for tools and techniques of high performance. Today I came across the Documentary in Netflix about - The weight of Gold. It seemed fascinating especially with my admiration for Olympic athletes and their single minded focus to perform on a scale which is way above average. But this show reflects on the questions what's the price of the Gold medals?
We all have our gold medals in life, the question is how we want to go about it. What's the delicate balance of having it all ?
Go ahead and watch this documentary and hopefully this episode will give you all things to reflect on some crucial questions on our identities or our perceptions of it.

Minimalism is a lifestyle for many. “Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art.” —Richard Holloway
Minimalism makes things achievable , as mentioned before how my feeling of overwhelm with too many options, made simpler by asking what do I really need to get started with? I interpret Minimalism isn’t about ‘giving up’ certain things. I find that the more I declutter the more liberty I have to make sense what I really need to do from all the noise out there in a world full of too many choices and options.

“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of the achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.” ― Pierre-Simon Laplace

Food for thought from this episode Digital dreamers “Because this business of becoming conscious, of being a writer, is ultimately about asking yourself, How alive am I willing to be?” from Bird by Bird.
Learn, listen and enjoy!
“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”Socrates 469-399 BC. Father of western philosophy.Greek philosophos means ‘lover of wisdom’,, from philein ‘to love’ + sophos ‘wise’.
I was researching Socratic method - process of gradual questioning a major contribution to academia. Challenging hypothesis and whcih leads to question one's belief. Examination of inner motivation and values. This lead me to read an article on top law schools from USA and "Law professors teaching introductory law classes often use a pedagogical technique known as the Socratic method, which involves cold-calling on students and interrogating them about the facts and decisions in various court cases."
As promised in the show here is the link to the Intel article: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/program/education/us/en/documents/project-design/strategies/dep-question-socratic.pdf
Digital Dreamers all Socrates wanted was to uproot ignorance.So try implementing his methods at work, conversations with friends and family and see how the quality of conversation changes.

Today's guest is Plamena Todorova, originally from Bulgaria.
Since she was little she had a passion to discover the world. At the age of 20 this brave soul moved to the USA and lived there for 2 years- starting from Las Vegas and then later moving to New York- my dream was to live there.
Following that her passion she continued her journey and moved to UAE -Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where she entered the aviation industry and was flying as a cabin crew for one of the best airlines, Etihad airways.
After 3 years of flying she took the decision to come back to her home country and work an office job from 9 to 5 in the corporate world. Not long passed when she realised that this is not her dream job and destiny.
This is where the journey of creating her own brand starts. Her mission is to show elegance and femininity in women through the jewellery but also expose their controversial side of strength and optimism by running a campaign called Babe of the hour. The aim of the campaign is to pass people's stories and help others in need through the jewellery collections. That's what makes this brand unique because it wears a soul.

Let's provoke our thoughts if our social norms impacts the way we behave and do we want to change any of it if those behaviours are not serving us anymore !
Recently I was attending a group coaching session and during the session we discussed the impact of social narrative in our actions. Personally I think social narrative plays a big role in way we act. There are areas of my life I have to consciously work on my mindset to change my way of actions which were getting influenced of my social scripts while growing up.

Today we are talking about the wisdom and philosophy of this timeless book by Sun Tzu.A book written 2500 years ago still relevant.
In this episode I am mentioning the principles which inspired me and helped me in my life beyond management and business .
One of the principle we discussed on the show is following:
Appreciate, enjoy and nurture peace. “It is easy to love your friend, but sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is to love your enemy” . Balance and inner peace is crucial. There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: according to Sun Tzu, in this case applies to our modern life we live ion (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction; (2) cowardice, which leads to capture; (3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; (4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; (5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.”
For the rest listen to the show and revel in the wisdom of Sun Tzu!
In today's episode we talk about goal setting, simple strategies for them and adapting it to time we live in.

Being brave is also a mindset which can be cultivated.
Robert H Schuller once said: "What would you do if you knew for sure you wouldn't fail?" . Failure doesn't bring joy to anyone. But I like this thought provoking question. But my take is add a sub question to this one and ask. Now would I do the same thing even I fail ? Fear of failure often becomes roadblocks and for me personally it also had become driving force into working hard. Fear can Hurt sure but Fear also can help if channeled correctly .I believe for people who is willing to play the long game of life, being brave is not the absence of fear, but the ability to persist in spite of fear of failure or actually failing.We need to remind ourselves , paraphrasing Lana Del Ray here “Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don’t fail forever.”

Introducing byte sized information on 5G technology today.
The hype around 5G has been brewing for sometime now, but we're finally at a stage where we are starting to see the early research and development bear its fruit.
The technology truly promises to change our lives by connecting everything around us to a network that is nX times faster than our cellular connection and potentially 10 times faster than our speediest home broadband service at present.
Welcome to the journey of understanding this tech in a digital dreamer way!
Micro Excerpt from the show : There is a powerful quote in Anne Frank's " The diary of a young girl" - “People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion.”Have you ever been told to keep your mouth shut , may be not in those specific rude words but in a polite way .Please don't breathe a word, Keep mum, please keep it under's one own hat.As a shy and introverted from past I have heard various version of it and had stayed quite , fearful or just plain shy to express myself. But it definitely never stopped me of not having an opinion. It just gave me motivation to learn to overcome my fear of expressing myself and be better communicator.
