    How does Arc take digital clutter off this founder’s plate?

    Down & Dirty with Dr. T. is back with yet another episode, and our featured guest this time is Jared Neutel.Jared is an entrepreneur with over 14 years of experience in the tech space. He has led product and engineering teams across multiple companies, bootstrapped Neutech, a senior software staff augmentation team for seed and series A startups, and also co-founded Tixologi, a venture-backed, blockchain-based ticketing platform.In this episode, Jared shares what an average day in his life as a founder looks like, starting with early mornings and a commute to the office, followed by back-to-back calls with clients, leads, and internal teams while he keeps systems and processes running smoothly. He also talks about the ongoing challenge of delegation and learning to step back as his team takes ownership. He then highlights the Arc browser as a key part of his workflow, explaining why he moved away from Chrome and how its structured workspaces, cleaner tab management, shortcuts, and seamless syncing across devices help him stay organized and manage conversations, documents, and tasks in one place.Highlights from the episode:A day in the life – Jared’s day usually begins early, waking up between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m., and he tries to wrap up by 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. Most of his day is spent in back-to-back meetings with clients, leads, and internal teams, focused on quick decisions and problem solving. After work, he heads to the gym and ends the day with a no-phone dinner with his wife.Delegation as an ongoing challenge – One of Jared’s biggest personal hurdles is delegation. He finds it difficult to hand off tasks where he feels he could execute them better himself. Letting go becomes especially challenging when he notices small details going off track, but he also recognizes that allowing the team to own most of the work is essential for long-term growth.Arc Browser for staying organized – He talks about the Arc browser, built by The Browser Company. He moved from Chrome because Arc helps him structure his work through organized tab folders, separate workspaces for different companies like Neutech and Tixologi. Tabs sync across his phone and computer and clear automatically if unused, while Chrome-based syncing keeps passwords and bookmarks intact.

    Why does this co-founder use ClickUp to manage client expectations and scale her business?

    Down & Dirty with Dr. T. is back with yet another episode, and our featured guest this time is Nistha Goel.Nistha is the co- founder of Alikeu Marketing, a social media marketing agency that assists founders, coaches, and consultants in establishing their personal brands. She has been working in the industry for about two years and has helped her clients achieve multiple viral reels and generate leads worth over $600,000.In this episode, Nistha shares what an average day in her life looks like, the different kinds of outputs her company delivers, focusing primarily on organic marketing, and finally the tool that helps her manage her team and client deliverables: ClickUp. She discusses why her team switched over to ClickUp from tools like Google Sheets, Google Docs, and its advantages over Trello.Highlights from the episode:A day in the life – Nistha’s day usually starts with a workout, followed by logging in around 10:30 a.m. for team updates. Most of her time goes into resolving issues faced by the team, and stepping in on client requests, especially when strategy is involved. She typically wraps up by 7 p.m., though late evenings aren’t uncommon when working with clients across Australia and the US. Outside work, she makes time to read and tries to call it a day by midnight.ClickUp for team and client management – As the team scaled, Nistha moved from Google Sheets and Docs to ClickUp to bring more structure and visibility to their work. Better notifications helped close gaps, while features like deadlines and recurring tasks made planning easier. ClickUp also lets clients track project progress as guests. Compared to tools like Trello, it offers greater depth, making it a more sustainable choice for the long run.Aligning vision and strategy – Alikeu Marketing focuses on organic, done-for-you marketing, spanning content direction, strategy, sales, and funnel creation. Nistha leads the creative side, while her partner, Raj, handles client acquisition and relationships. Together, they work to align their creative and strategic approach with each client’s vision, designing a system that meets clients where they are. Their aim isn’t just to work around constraints, but to solve them in a way that respects the client’s comfort and long-term goals.Learn more about our research shenanigans: Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/resources/blog/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://in.linkedin.com/company/justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/poochonetwork⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 A day in the life of Nistha Goel00:03:19 Team structure and time management00:05:32 Strengths, team dynamics, and creative focus00:06:53 Aligning creative vision with client expectations00:09:10 Overcoming implementation roadblocks with clients00:11:58 Tools used for team and client management00:16:10 Task management workflow and team coordination00:18:04 Transition from Google Sheets to ClickUp00:21:23 The inflection point of team size and client load00:23:13 Why ClickUp over Trello and other tools00:30:11 ClickUp’s advantages and key learnings00:35:47 Rapid fire round and closing thoughts

    How does this freelance moderator use YouTube for unbiased content and his professional arsenal?

    Down & Dirty with Dr. T is back with a new episode featuring Harsh Maskara, an independent qualitative market researcher with over 14 years of experience working across brands like HUL, Amazon, and Tata Motors.A moderator at heart, Harsh has spent years leading focus group rooms and one-on-one conversations. After starting his career in full-service research agencies, he chose to freelance so he could stay closer to fieldwork and moderation.In this episode, he sits down with Dr. Taapsi Ramchandani to talk about how YouTube has become a key learning and awareness tool in his daily life. By watching long-form interviews and political conversations, and closely observing how experienced interviewers frame questions, use silence, and navigate conversations, Harsh shares how YouTube adds to his “arsenal, so to say” as a moderator. The conversation also briefly touches on the smaller role of tools like Spotify, LinkedIn, Google, Groww, and Netflix in supporting how he learns, unwinds, and stays informed.Highlights from the episode:Transition to freelance moderation: Harsh shares his journey from a full-time role at Quantum Consumer Solutions in Mumbai to becoming a freelance moderator, explaining that a senior, desk-bound role became too taxing, and he wanted more excitement from field work and life.The significance of running: Running is a significant factor in the speaker's life, as it makes him "clear-headed", and he finds that it allows him to become "more conscious of yourself and your thoughts".The moderator's need for current affairs: As a freelance moderator, he emphasizes the importance of staying in sync with current affairs, media, and entertainment because consumers often reference what they have been exposed to, and the moderator needs to understand those references.YouTube as a key information source and learning tool: The speaker uses YouTube as a primary source for up-to-date information, news, and media, choosing video content not only because it offers a potentially less-biased perspective than traditional media but also because he learns from watching how others conduct interviews.Learn more about our research shenanigans: Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/resources/blog/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://in.linkedin.com/company/justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/poochonetwork⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 A day in the life: routine and interests00:02:41 Running, insomnia, and mental state00:03:45 Transition to freelancing: reasons and challenges00:06:49 Early freelance days: extreme lifestyle and diet00:09:08 Freelancing from Kolkata and current pursuits00:11:50 Staying relevant as a moderator: skills and networking00:16:53 Technology and conscious running00:18:43 YouTube as a news source00:21:23 Daily media consumption00:23:47 Google app and stock market news00:25:43 YouTube's rise as a news source00:27:30 Favorite YouTube channels and content preferences00:30:34 Other content platforms and motivation00:32:56 Content preferences: politics and sports00:36:13 External content sources: newsletters and running00:39:02 Rapid fire questions

    How does this Consumer Insights Manager use ChatGPT to turn messy data into actionable insights?

    Down & Dirty with Dr. T is back with a new episode featuring John Richard, former Consumer Insights Manager at Practo (now at United Breweries Ltd).With nearly a decade of experience in brand research, John has worked across FMCG, healthcare, and now beverages, helping brands make smarter decisions by understanding what consumers really think and feel. Known for his strength in brand advocacy and voice-of-consumer work, John brings a researcher's eye to business performance and cultural nuance.In this episode, he sits down with Taapsi to talk about how researchers can make their work more actionable, how to align teams around the consumer journey, why not every research output needs to prove ROI and how he’s been using ChatGPT to bring more structure and scalability to the research function.Highlights from the episode:A day in John’s life: John starts his day at 5:30am with a 10k run, followed by planning and clearing out his inbox. As someone who manages multiple stakeholders across the org, his mornings are about getting grounded before jumping into meetings and insight-sharing.Making insights usable across teams: John walks us through how Practo built a central tracker to log and reference previous studies, so teams don’t redo the same work twice. It’s a small shift that’s helped drive bigger impact across functions.Using ChatGPT to cut research time and make insights usable: John explains how he takes thousands of open-ended survey responses and with ChatGPT, quickly organizes them into themes, creates word clouds and generates process maps. This helps him save hours of manual work and makes it easier for product, marketing and service teams to use the research.Challenging the ROI mindset in research: He reflects on the pressure researchers face to prove ROI, and why expecting a measurable outcome from every single insight is unrealistic, especially when no one asks finance or SaaS teams for the same.Learn more about our research shenanigans: Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/resources/blog/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://in.linkedin.com/company/justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/poochonetwork⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction to John Richard00:01:39 A day in the life of a consumer insights manager00:04:35 Stakeholder and agency management00:07:30 Lean six sigma and research00:09:38 Applying lean in research00:12:33 Data challenges, ChatGPT, and the 5S methodology00:16:49 Introduction to 5S methodology00:20:04 Standardization and sustaining improvements00:21:40 Real-world application of methodologies00:23:42 Lean six sigma and data analysis00:25:44 Introduction to ChatGPT for research00:29:06 Enhancing desk research with ChatGPT00:31:49 Strategic thinking and ChatGPT00:33:47 Using ChatGPT for consumer data analysis00:37:30 Generating process images with ChatGPT00:39:55 Data validation and pictorial representation00:44:36 Analyzing course data and visualizing processes00:47:48 Integration with lean tools and personal efficiency00:51:17 Closing remarks

    How does this AI startup founding member turn YouTube into his personal learning ecosystem?

    Down & Dirty with Dr. T. is back with another episode and this time our featured guest is Abhimanyu Shekhawat. Abhimanyu is a seasoned leader in the consumer tech space with over two decades of experience across e-commerce, fintech and AI. He's currently building Nurix, a generative AI startup focused on reimagining customer experience for enterprises. In this episode, Abhimanyu shares how tools like YouTube and his organized approach to content consumption help him stay ahead of tech trends while managing the constant ambiguity and challenges of building an AI company from the ground up.Highlights from the episode:A day in the life – What does a day in the life of a founding member generative AI startup look like? Abhimanyu takes us through his routine — from checking WhatsApp and Slack at 7:30 AM, to managing sales calls, product meetings, and client solutioning for a 20–25 person team. He shares how tools like Slack, Google Workspace, HubSpot, and ChatGPT help streamline operations, and how he evolved from a hands‑on “get it done” approach to a highly organized one.YouTube as his indispensable content platform – For Abhimanyu, YouTube is his "one indisposable item"—a platform for consuming diverse content from AI trends to movie trailers. He shares how he consumes podcasts during Bangalore traffic, multitask during work, and stay updated through creators like Lex Friedman and Think School. His highly organized channel subscription system helps him quickly navigate to different content categories. As for why he sticks with YouTube Music instead of Spotify? You’ll never guess.Challenges in startup life – It’s not all smooth sailing in the startup world. Abhimanyu talks openly about the shift from structured corporate roles to the ambiguity of joining a founding team, where prioritization is a constant challenge, resources are limited, and every team member has to wear multiple hats. In this environment, “there’s no concept of time” as weekdays and weekends blend, and cross‑functional collaboration becomes vital. Scaling from a team of 10 to 25 adds its own complexity, making resilience and focus essential in the fast‑paced AI space.Learn more about our research shenanigans: Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/resources/blog/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://in.linkedin.com/company/justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/poochonetwork⁠Chapters:00:00:00 Welcome and introduction00:00:48 Transition to generative AI startup00:03:53 Structured vs. unstructured work00:05:38 A day in the life at Neurix00:08:42 Enablers for effective work00:11:36 Task management and personal growth00:12:59 Challenges and opportunities in a startup00:15:06 Tech touchpoints and tools00:16:59 Morning routine and app usage00:19:27 Entertainment habits: YouTube and cooking00:21:03 YouTube as an indispensable tool00:23:37 YouTube features and content preferences00:26:46 YouTube’s role in daily life00:28:48 Entertainment: trailers, soundtracks, and YouTube Music00:30:27 YouTube organization and consumption patterns00:33:53 YouTube Premium and its benefits00:35:53 Contextual recommendations and algorithmic understanding00:37:16 Evolution of media consumption00:39:24 The power of long‑form content for brand building00:41:20 Rapid‑fire questions and reflections00:42:42 Conclusion and farewell

    How does this cultural researcher use podcasts to understand people across continents?

    Down & Dirty with Dr. T. is back with another episode and our featured guest this time is Amrita Sen.Amrita is a cultural researcher and Partner at Quantum Consumer Solutions with over 10 years of experience in marketing strategy, consumer culture, and product innovation. She also mentors young team members and loves turning insights into ideas.In this episode, Amrita shares how she manages both research work and team leadership, and how tools like Apple Podcasts and her morning routine help her stay informed and turn customer insights into practical ideas for her clients.Highlights from the episode:A day in the life – What does a day in the life of a cultural researcher working across multiple continents look like? Amrita takes us through her routine, from podcast-powered morning walks to clever cooking hacks that keep her fueled. She shares how tools like Zoho and Microsoft Teams help streamline global collaboration, and reveals her Instagram curation trick that turns social scrolling into creative fuel. All this while leading cultural research projects across India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia. She shares how tools like Zoho and Microsoft Teams help streamline global collaboration, and reveals her Instagram curation trick that turns social scrolling into creative fuel.Power of podcasts –  For Amrita, podcasts are more than just background listening—they’re a core part of her research toolkit. She shares an example of how listening to Indonesian history podcasts directly enhanced a major food culture project, and explains why philosophy deep-dives on topics like Taoism end up informing client proposals in unexpected ways. Her "bird's-eye view" approach to learning creates organic connections across completely different projects, and she explains why she chooses podcasts over book summaries, Audible, and even AI for certain types of research. Challenges in work – It's not all smooth sailing. Amrita gets honest about the real challenges facing modern researchers. She struggles with "time-blindness" – getting so absorbed in research rabbit holes that smaller tasks fall through the cracks. Managing remote teams across different cultures brings its own unique set of obstacles, especially when trying to connect with younger team members she's never met in person. The constant pressure of "everything needed yesterday" deadlines and the complexity of navigating diverse markets while maintaining interdisciplinary marketing strategies makes for a fascinating discussion about the realities of consulting work.Learn more about our research shenanigans: Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.poocho.co/resources/blog/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://in.linkedin.com/company/justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@justpoocho⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/poochonetwork⁠Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction to cultural research and Amrita's background00:03:27 A day in the life: routine and tools00:06:34 Enablers for success: personal strengths and company culture00:12:27 Challenges and obstacles in the workplace00:14:47 Tech tools and apps used daily00:19:31 Podcast preferences00:21:40 Audio vs. video00:23:21 Podcasts in the workplace00:25:06 Podcasts vs. AI00:30:41 AI and visuals00:34:04 AI in research and content curation00:36:35 Podcast listening habits and research00:38:41 Podcast selection and influence on research00:40:19 Discovering new podcasts00:41:58 Rapid fire round00:43:49 Final thoughts and appreciation

However, she quickly discovered that real-world tasks leaned more towards client interaction and project management rather than heavy technical work.Challenges in project management: One of the significant challenges Mansi faces is managing client expectations and assessing project feasibility. Often, clients have certain requirements that may not always be feasible. This necessitates a lot of research (R&D) and close coordination with the development team to determine what can or cannot be done.All things Trello: According to Mansi, Whether it’s for personal or professional use, Trello’s features make task management straightforward and engaging. Through a screenshare, she shows how creating workspaces and using templates can simplify even complex projects by breaking them down into manageable parts. She also shows how Trello helps her prioritize tasks using boards, cards, and checklists.
