    Kiran Shah MBE: The World’s Shortest Stuntman Who Worked on Lord of the Rings, Star Wars & More | E29

    Kiran Shah MBE is an actor, stunt performer, and published poet with one of the most distinctive careers in international film. Known as the world’s shortest professional stuntman, he has worked on over 40 major films, including being featured highest grossing movies in history like Titanic, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Kiran has served both as a scale double and stunt double for leading actors, contributing to some of the most technically complex scenes in cinema. Born in Nairobi and raised between India and the UK, Kiran’s path into film was shaped by persistence and adaptability. In 2009, he was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his contributions to the film industry and advocacy for people with dwarfism. In this episode of Seva at Scale, Josh Roy speaks with Kiran about the realities of working in global cinema, collaborating with the likes of Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, the physical and emotional discipline involved in stunt performance, and the challenges of representation in entertainment. The conversation also explores Kiran’s work as a poet, his thoughts on storytelling, and how he’s navigated the industry on his own terms. Kiran offers a clear, honest reflection on his experiences, without framing them as extraordinary - but simply as part of a career built through consistency and craft. A true epitome of defying the odds! Josh and Kiran discuss the relationship between visibility and agency, and how small decisions can shape long term impact. This episode provides a thoughtful look at a life spent contributing behind the scenes - and in the spotlight - with clarity, patience, and intention. Hosted by Josh Roy, Seva at Scale, though primarily a business podcast, continues its mission to share grounded conversations with successful people in entrepreneurship, arts, and culture, building positively impactful work across disciplines. Hope you enjoy!

    Theodore Grether-Murray: How I Consulted for Billion Dollar Companies at 15! I E28

    Theodore Grether-Murray (also known as the 'Battery Man') is a high school student obsessed with the future of sustainable energy. At the age of 15 he started working in a top electrochemistry lab focusing on lithium-ion battery research. He then interned at CertCenterCanada, an aviation company, working on Hybrid Electric Planes and Wind Turbine sensors. This then led him to work with Longbow Capital where he reviewed 5 to 20 million dollar deals with some of the most innovative climate tech companies in the world. Just recently he came back from Uganda, working on installing mini-grids in the rural Northern Regions. Achievement: Theodore started an AI pharmacy startup that got 200 pharmacies to work with him. He also consulted for billion-dollar companies such as Shell, SwitchHealth and CIBC. He's now working on Sonda, a company that is focused on reducing noise pollution in the seas. Both The Knowledge Society and Villars Institute students, join Josh Roy and today's guest Theodore Grether-Murray as they have an unconventional discussion what's on the table when it comes to youth innovation and making a positive impact at scale! .. Topics: · The meaning of battery-tech to you · What inspired you to start your journey? · What are your productivity tips/mindsets? · What is your advice for future change-makers? · Building in public And more!.. Here's Theo's highlight action item I took away: Under-promise and over-deliver. “As ambitious people, we wanna deliver the most amazing work ever, right? I give myself no room for mistakes and I don’t do that because of course I make a mistake, I’m human or one day is bad. And as a result, I hurt my trust with a lot of different people who would’ve given me more opportunities if I hadn’t hurt their trust. Don’t set too high expectations. At one point, if you can’t deliver on it and if you’re just wishfully thinking that you can, it’s going to ruin your reputation with a lot of people. So, set lower expectation goals and absolutely do well on those goals and crush them beyond people’s expectations. Don’t set huge goals and then not end up delivering them.” We hope you find value in our discussion and learn useful information! — Theodore: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/theodore-grether-murray/ 🎥 Directed and Edited by Josh 🗓️ Recorded on September 8th, 2024

    Navjot Sawhney: The Importance of the Generosity Valuation | E24

    Navjot Sawhney's journey is deeply rooted in resilience and a desire to make a difference. His family's experience during the 1947 Indian Independence, when his father fled present-day Pakistan with just the clothes on his back, instilled in Nav a profound sense of empathy and a drive to support those in need.With a background in Aerospace Engineering from Queen Mary University, London, and professional experience at Dyson, Nav's path took a pivotal turn when he joined Engineers Without Borders UK in South India. It was here that he encountered Divya, a neighbour whose struggle with hand washing clothes for up to 20 hours a week inspired Nav to promise her a washing machine. This promise led to the creation of the first prototype and the foundation of The Washing Machine Project in 2019.Nav pursued a master's degree in Humanitarianism, Conflict, and Development at the University of Bath, further cementing his commitment to global development. The Washing Machine Project has since conducted extensive research across 13 countries, interviewing over 3,000 families to understand their washing habits and needs.The innovative Divya washing machines have reached almost 30,000 people in India, Iraq, Lebanon, the United States, Mexico, and Uganda. The project's tailored implementation ensures effectiveness in diverse cultural, economic, and environmental contexts. Partnerships with organizations like RS Group, JLR, Santander, and humanitarian giants like UNHCR and Oxfam, have propelled the project towards scaling up globally with support from Whirlpool Foundation.In March 2024, Nav returned to South India with Whirlpool Foundation to deliver washing machines to Divya and her neighbours, fulfilling his promise. Recognized with numerous awards, including the 2023 George H.W. Bush Points of Light Award, The Washing Machine Project continues to innovate sustainable solutions for remote and displaced communities, alleviating the burden of handwashing clothes, one wash at a time.
