Good Morning!
Today is already off to an upbeat start – festive holidays always are. Aren’t they? On that note, we at The Podium wish you & your family a Very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
Back in Mumbai, we are sorely going to miss the drama, vibrance & vigor of this festival as we celebrate in a more contained & controlled environment. Never the less, our spirits remain high after all, Ganesha is the remover of obstacles & the God of new beginnings.
Speaking of new beginnings, this pandemic has catapulted many of us to take our hobbies way more seriously & many have turned them into side hustles or are planning to do so.
So we thought why not bring you closer to some great advice through some great audio content to get your ideas off the ground.
And who knows you could be the next big Startup!
(How exciting would that be?!)
So, without much ado here’s a round-up of our top picks:

4. We Crashed
This podcast is literally like an audio version of a Netflix docuseries. I say this because it’s an addictive 6 part series on the crash of WeWork. The host David Brown’s narrative is incredible & the audio cues are perfect. But you might wonder why this podcast features on our list of “New Beginnings”? Well, its great content & learning from someone else’s failures is the best way to avoid making some mistakes yourself.
