    South Asians Give Abroad. Who's Feeding Your Neighbor? | Anna Sudha Community Kitchens | The Raz Patel Show | S3 EP28

    South Asians send billions back home every year. But who is feeding the family next door? A tech founder. A Hyatt banquet chef. A dedicated mother. They left their careers to answer that question. What started as one woman's grief became a grassroots movement: Anna Sudha Community Kitchens, now serving 6,500 meals every month across Northern Virginia. Zero government funding. Zero paid staff. Sixty high school volunteers showing up every single week. But here's what actually matters: How do you turn personal pain into systemic change? In this Desi Unfiltered episode, founders Nupur Panjabi, Rohit Chavan, and Aarti Rajmohan reveal: - The framework for building movements that last beyond your own story - Why the hidden hunger crisis in American suburbs gets ignored - How to scale compassion from 6 volunteers to 60 - What seva actually looks like when it starts at home, not across the ocean This is not charity. This is transformation. Nupur turned her mother's memory into a solution that feeds thousands. That's what happens when you refuse to accept the problem. Nupur Panjabi. Founder. Rohit Chavan. Operations Leader. Aarti Rajmohan. Volunteer Coordinator. Anna Sudha Community Kitchens. Born in war-torn Kabul. Worked with Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. Now building across three continents. Sameer Ali Khan's story isn't about the films. It's about the framework he used to survive when the world tried to define who he was allowed to be. War. Imagination. Discipline. Language mastery. Five languages. Three industries. One refusal to stay in a box. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss next week's episode. #FrozenToFearless #TheRazPatelShow Get involved: https://anna-sudha.org/ #FrozenToFearless #AnnaSudha #Seva #EndHunger #NupurPanjabi #DesiUnfiltered #GrassrootsMovement #TheRazPatelShow #CommunityLeadership #HungerAwareness

    They Told Her to Pick One Career. She Ignored Them | Cori Linder | The Raz Patel Show | S3 EP27

    Everyone told her to pick a lane. Cori Linder ignored them. 25 years as a marketing executive. Wrote a book. Competed as a swim coach. All at the same time. She refused to choose—and proved she didn't have to. But here's what actually matters: How do you turn being "complicated" into your competitive edge? In this episode, Cori shares the Identity Pivot—the exact reframe that transforms how you answer "but what do you DO?" when your life doesn't fit a single box: - Why the parts of you that don't fit the job description are actually your superpower - The framework for building multiple empires simultaneously - How to flip pressure ("pick one lane") into permission to build everything - What happens when you stop apologizing for being multi-dimensional This is not about doing it all. This is about refusing to shrink yourself to fit someone else's definition of success. Cori Linder. Executive. Author. Coach. Builder of her own road. Next week on The Raz Patel Show - Desi Unfiltered: Anna Sudha Community Kitchens. A tech founder. A Hyatt banquet chef. A dedicated mother. They left their careers to feed 6,500 families a month.

    The Secret Behind Every 5-Star Hotel | Torsten Richter | The Raz Patel Show | S3 EP24

    World-class hospitality looks perfect from the outside. Nobody talks about what it costs the people running it. Most leaders choose: Excellence OR wellbeing. Not both. Torsten Richter, General Manager of the legendary Anantara Siam Bangkok, proved there's another way. In this episode, Torsten unpacks: - The leadership philosophy that builds legendary without burning people out - Why emotional intelligence is your competitive advantage - The people strategy that separates good hotels from icons - How to sustain world-class performance (in yourself AND your team) This isn't about thread counts and chandeliers. This is about what separates leaders who build empires from leaders who build them at the cost of their people's health. If you lead a team, run a business, or want to understand what sustainable excellence actually looks like—this changes everything. Torsten Richter. General Manager, Anantara Siam Bangkok. Decades of global leadership. "Next week on The Raz Patel Show: Jose Pereira. He flew to Venezuela for a business meeting. He didn't come home for 1,777 days. Wrongfully imprisoned. Survived. Now fighting to make sure it never happens to anyone else. This is what resilience looks like when everything is taken from you. Subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 This is The Raz Patel Show.
