Igniting Joy

by Puneet

The human spirit is resilient. It is buoyant. It has always triumphed over adversity and pain. But it has often been the work of so many selfless individuals that have helped scale the relief making it pervasive and available. Neighborhoods and communities impacted by someone’s desire to make a change in their own life and by extension in the world around them - that’s what this podcast is about. Join Puneet, an actor, writer, and accidental technologist, once a week right here in his conversations with those who are making change happen and making a difference. Either they are bringing visibly joyous experiences for people or, just as importantly, mitigating and removing pain or suffering so that joy can burst forth. They are the souls who are igniting joy making this a better world.
