#myreallifelearning Recently one of my podcast went live, how this has changed my perspective and positioning is really surprising to me. I was nervous and more an anxious than the host to make it worth the time and effort. 1. I got the feedback that, through this podcast, many of my near and dear once got to know about real me. 2. I think this is a good way to showcase your thought process. And, it gives opportunity to many in our Circle to understand why we behave the way we behave. 3. the love and appreciation from the audience is definitely mesmerizing. 4. if this can add value to even one person's life I think it's worth it. 5. some said you speak too fast, some said you were more excited then the host, some said work on your physic / looks/ presentation, some said tu bada admi ban gaya... and many more feedbacks. 6. I can feel they now acknowledge ki Hum kuch to kar rahe hain :) it felt very good when my school teachers listened to it and they appreciated. keep sharing your honest feedback, I am new to this and I am learning. thank you for all the support, god bless everyone.
