In this episode Pav and I dig into how he used a spreadsheet to essentially change his life. He's an accountant and has been working in that industry since he graduated from uni but he's also learnt a lot about himself in that spreadsheet. Sometimes, it's not about the amounts but about the consistency and setting an intention and goal towards what you want to achieve and that applies here too.

In this episode, I look at the thing that is the only constant in this world - change. Now, many people don't like change. It's hard, it's uncomfortable, and all round, they think it's not great.

Ah the stoic Brown father. The old school masculine type who faces any hardship without saying a word. The right way to go about things? Probably not.

Why is it we always have those projects we want to start, but never do? Why do we get stuck at that point just before launching? And what can we do to fix that? In this episode, I talk about the fear of failure and why we, or our minds, stop us from starting and growing. With us trying to cultivate a growth mindset, a big part of that is trying new things being comfortable with failure so that we can learn, but sometimes that failure feels deeper than just surface level because of how it reflects on us.

In this episode, I chat to Pav and Aman about how their friendship turned into a Brotherhood!We chat about how they got to know each other, their struggles making Punjabi friends, what brought them close together, and hear about some of their views on how other people can strengthen their friendships.People may not realise it, but having close friendships and a good social life is something that massively affects one's wellbeing, health, and even how long they live for. Unfortunately though, 1 in 3 people in the UK, do not have close friends and this is something we want to fix or help with!This follows on from one of my previous episodes talking about the Male Loneliness Epidemic and the negative effects of it on us.You can find us on Instagram via : @BrownButBetter Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we hear from different South Asians from across the creative industries including their challenges, successes, and some tips that they would share to other people looking to become a creative. Creative industries have generally been a no-go area for a lot of South Asian/Brown people due to the volatility of the markets, the potential instability of earnings, and the stigmas or views associated with those industries but, as we hear from the people on today's show, it's not all bad and there is success on the other side.

We've all been there. You want to do something novel, cool, out of the box, you ask your parents or someone and they say "No, what would people say?" It's something that's pretty common in South Asian families and cultures but where does it come from? And how can we move past it on a personal level so that we still feel comfortable with our decisions? These are some of the things I cover in this episode about the "What would people say" attitude.
