Small and Easy Ways to Build Confidence
Engineers and corporate folks who studied engineering never really were in the school of cool (including myself) so I thought I'd talk about things I did over the years, from 21 to 35 to build my confidence in this lovely world.

Customer Reviews
Much Love for BNN <3
From the topics you choose, and practical advice to which once could easily relate to. Sanjay is doing an incredible job. Here’s to many more Podcasts.
Super Relatable
All very relatable content especially for our generation. I think it’s great content and it’s what we think about but ,don’t talk about. It’s great to hear someone else speak on these topics.
Topics are really unique
Sanjay is great with his topic selection. While he says he has a list and takes notes of stuff he wants to address, but if you listen to the podcast it sounds organic. Many times he has picked topics from his social media comments, which is great. I would suggest Sanjay if he can have guest more often and chat with some of his comic friends about serious topics and give it a humorous spin (this would happen organically). Like planting more trees or volunteering being ignored in India. (just a suggestion) I would definitely recommend this podcast for some great laughs and awesome topic selection. Keep going Sanjay. Cheers!
