1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,720
My vision, it's a very interesting,

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,240
and we say a lot of questions.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,000
My vision, I cannot really say it's one vision,

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,200
but one of my main visions is to teach people

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,560
and help people to connect to themselves,

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,280
communicate better, and therefore get to their vision

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,520
and to their idea, to their dream much faster.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,040
Tell me more about that.

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,920
Definitely, it definitely consists

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,480
from many different things.

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,280
And if I may show the book again,

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,880
in the cover of the book, you will see building blocks,

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,040
like small buildings.

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,360
And I believe that visions are concise

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,520
from several mini visions and several blocks and mini blocks,

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,240
or I call them building blocks,

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,040
or in a way, you may even call them

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,040
about pillar of the bridge.

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,240
It means that people need to understand vision,

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,640
what they want to do, where they want to go.

22
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,520
And in some cases, we don't know, same here,

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,680
I have some ideas, but some of the visions are not clear.

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,840
How and be guided by themselves or be guided by others

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,440
to find mentors that potentially walk this path

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,520
and was able to get to a similar vision,

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,520
because every vision is a bit different

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,080
to what they want to do.

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,760
I believe in mentorship, I think it's very important.

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,640
I had many mentors in my life,

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,760
and when I can, I mentor other people as well.

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Part of the mentorship is also pushing people

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,400
outside of the comfort zone.

34
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,880
I'm a very big believer of pushing people

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,280
outside the comfort zone.

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,200
If you can take the 80-20 rule,

37
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,120
do the 80% what you do day by day,

38
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,080
and then use the 20% to push you out of comfort zone.

39
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,240
People that work under me, with me,

40
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,320
or even people that know me as a friend,

41
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,720
know that I always try to push some of the limits,

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,800
find something new.

43
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,920
It's very, very important in my mind

44
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,120
to kind of broaden my horizon.

45
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,680
In the same time, we need to find time to relax

46
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,840
and forget about technology and forget about pushing,

47
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,640
and just kind of recap and recharge.

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,360
And the outdoor part, this is the recharging part for me.

49
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,480
I recharge outdoor when I'm camping,

50
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,720
canoeing, snowboarding, biking.

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,080
This is the time for me to be more with myself

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,000
or with my friends, but without the go, go, go, go,

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,680
and the push, push, push all the time.

54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,640
So this is part of the vision,

55
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,400
part of getting to this point.

56
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Also part of the vision is to understand

57
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,800
that everybody's are different,

58
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,320
and people learn differently

59
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,760
and understand information differently.

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,640
It's also part of the book as well,

61
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,360
and was motivation to write the book

62
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,800
to better and quicker understand

63
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
how the other individual learning,

64
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,320
understanding, and consuming information,

65
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,880
and therefore deliver the information in the language

66
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,560
they understand or in the way they understand.

67
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,160
If it's a visual, if it's audio, kinesthetic,

68
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,080
or any other way.

69
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,480
That is awesome.

70
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,760
That's very precise.

71
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,800
Thank you for sharing that.

72
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600
I know you already shared where this kind of came from,

73
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,680
but for the recording segments,

74
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,280
would you like to share

75
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,520
where did this vision exactly come from?

76
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,640
The vision came from several different things.

77
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,880
The vision came from me finding myself,

78
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,280
me trying to understand who I am,

79
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,280
me mimicking other people because I didn't know who I am.

80
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,280
I had quite a lot of speech deficiencies in the past.

81
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,040
And no, it was very hard to understand

82
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,960
how I was supposed to communicate.

83
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
I speak three languages and I cannot claim,

84
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,680
I used to speak them really well,

85
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,520
but I learned to slow down.

86
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,400
I learned to remove filler words.

87
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,680
I learned not to say,

88
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,240
hmm, ah, hi, ah, you know, how are we doing here?

89
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,480
Because I understood what are the psychological,

90
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,480
philosophical drivers that pushing me to do this.

91
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,200
And I learned how to remove them.

92
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,200
And with time, I learned to not just understand

93
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,480
and not just reflect, but also respect who I am.

94
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,400
And everybody's different.

95
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,200
So I know I'm a bit silly.

96
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,040
I know I like to do stuff that are not always smart.

97
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760
I know I like to be funny or pulling people's legs

98
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,240
and kind of see how they're gonna react

99
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,240
or push them a bit to see what's gonna happen.

100
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,960
I know I like technology.

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,520
I know I like going and be in the wild

102
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,840
and connect with the nature.

103
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,240
So it's part of me, it's part of the silliness

104
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,560
to combine the technological world with the outdoor world,

105
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,240
with pushing and learning technology, gadgets, AI,

106
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,600
but still have the human connection and explain the stuff.

107
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,600
And one of the trigger points for me was to accept my voice.

108
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,960
I started to record, recording about four years ago,

109
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,280
and I hated my voice even before I started to record.

110
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,160
I hated how I communicate.

111
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,920
I didn't like the accent I had.

112
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,440
And I took on myself to learn voice development.

113
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,200
So basically I found a teacher to learn how to sing,

114
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,480
don't ask me, I still don't sing, okay, I'm not there yet.

115
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,760
But I did learn more about my voice.

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,640
I learned the missing part of my voice.

117
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,560
I'll be very, very low,

118
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,360
had a very low, low voice or a high pitch,

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,680
but nothing in the middle.

120
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,360
So this particular individual

121
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,480
had helped me to develop this part

122
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,680
and also helped me to understand

123
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,080
there's nothing wrong about having an accent.

124
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,680
There's many other things I can work on

125
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,880
to improve communication,

126
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,520
to improve how I say the syllables

127
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,440
and how I use my voice.

128
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,280
And I truly believe that the moment you start

129
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:50,320
accepting small parts about yourself

130
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,920
and you understand it's okay,

131
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,440
then the bigger vision is starting to build.

132
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,760
And this is part of the vision

133
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,320
to potentially help other people.

134
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,200
I hope so, to find themselves as well.

135
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,200
Thank you for sharing that.

136
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,400
That was very impactful.

137
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,120
I hope that helps other people too.

138
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,600
There's a lot of immigrants in both the countries,

139
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,560
US and Canada itself.

140
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,960
And me itself, I'm also an immigrant.

141
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,840
I came from India, born and raised.

142
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:20,160
And I came about 10 years ago.

143
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,160
And it was earlier stages,

144
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,520
I think it was a little hard

145
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,400
because the English I spoke,

146
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,280
the accent I had was very different than American accent

147
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,200
and American English percent, not as much different.

148
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,720
So sometimes I felt people had a hard time understanding me,

149
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,760
but fortunately I had great people around me

150
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,720
who made space for me as a leader.

151
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,240
And it made space for me to come in.

152
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,240
So I think that was very helpful for me.

153
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,600
So thank you for sharing that.

154
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,960
So then what is your goal for being on,

155
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,920
oh, it's right here.

156
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,920
What is your goal for being on the show?

157
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,880
My goal of being in the show,

158
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360
probably completely straightforward is

159
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,600
to let people know who I am,

160
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,920
elevate myself as a brand,

161
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,080
to be able to in one way to sell more books,

162
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,640
that more people will be able to read books.

163
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,760
They're not very expensive by definition

164
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120
because I want people to get the information.

165
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,920
And the entire idea of the book,

166
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280
it's if you see the book is not so thick,

167
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400
it's not very big book, it's about 130 pages

168
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,800
because I don't think people wanna read very long books.

169
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,240
I want to inspire people to get the information

170
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,080
from the book.

171
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,960
There's every chapter is like a building block,

172
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,920
as we spoke about this before,

173
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,400
to open their curiosity,

174
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,160
to open the interest to go and learn more

175
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600
because I cannot claim and I don't want to claim

176
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,320
they're gonna teach them everything.

177
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,200
There are many, many people in the world

178
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,000
that are much smarter than me

179
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,840
or been doing the breathing techniques

180
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,400
or working with fear or elevating the voice

181
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,160
or learning how to do hooks

182
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,720
and teaching people how to do better questions than me.

183
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,760
But you need to start from somewhere.

184
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,520
So I want to be on the show and I'm on the show

185
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,640
to hopefully open up people curiosity and horizon

186
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,000
that they don't need to accept the way they are right now

187
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,720
in case they don't like themselves.

188
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,120
If you like yourself as you are, don't get me wrong.

189
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,200
Be my guest, hope you're there.

190
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,720
But if there's tabs that you're not happy

191
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,680
and the stuff that you wanna improve

192
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,880
or there's tabs that gonna help you in your personal life

193
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,480
or your professional life,

194
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,120
I want to inspire you and help you to get there

195
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,880
and kind of push you a bit of the comfort zone to get there.

196
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,240
