Hey everyone, my name is Jalaj Punn and live in the Bay Area (CA) - Working as a SWE since 2017 trying to do more creative projects. I started a podcast (Fun Spicy, it’s on Spotify/Apple Podcasts/Everything else lol). The purpose of the podcast is to share narratives through conversations with guest about how creativity or unstructured thinking allowed them to enhance their lives — it can be anything from realizing you’re a good leader and starting a business or asking the why to realize that spiritual connection is the only path in this temporary life - Self growth is an opportunity for myself to enhance my life physically, mentally, and spiritually. It’s a never ending journey to become the best version of ourselves yet quite satisfying observing yourself grow through your relationship with the world and the continuous ups/downs - I think I want to grow my risk tolerance because putting ourselves out there through creative endeavors is the best way to put yourself outside of your comfort zone. I believe I’ve gotten better with my podcast project. I had so much resistance for that lol but eventually I did do it and honestly, feel so much better knowing I actually did it regardless if it translates to anything more or less … it’s just fun having personable conversations with others knowing that to an extent were all going through the same suffering - The opportunities I need are to be around like minded people who have gone through those moments of analysis paralysis and overcome it to just do whatever they wanna do. The current problem I’m trying to solve is growing my podcast so definitely down to chat anyone who has experience with that! Also, we need more compassionate capitalism. Mofos out here too greedy man hahaha 😂
