[00:00:00 – 00:00:08] Nitin Bajaj

Welcome to the industry show. I’m your host, Nitin Bajaj. And joining me today is Vinisha Rathod. Vinisha, welcome on the show.

[00:00:09 – 00:00:11] Vinisha Rathod

Thank you so much for having me.

[00:00:12 – 00:00:15] Nitin Bajaj

It’s great to have you here. Let’s start with who is Vinisha?

[00:00:17 – 00:01:21] Vinisha Rathod

I love this question. So I was really trying to figure out what is the Vinisha both personally and professionally. I think I’m someone that has finally found the sweet spot between being really content but not complacent with my life. So I found the sweet spot in how I can commercialize my skill set and still contribute to what I care about. And because I’ve got rid of all the crappy layers of insecurity and never feeling enough or thinking you have to chase these stupid things, I’ve actually been able to spearhead my life a lot better, surround myself with wonderful people and actually enjoy. So I actually have consistently beautiful experiences. So I’m a person that is aligned, says what she thinks is super present. And I think I found that thing that everyone talks about, you know, like even If I had $10 million in my bank, I would be right here right now. So it’s like peaceful but still wanting to do a lot of stuff and very, very vocal, as you can see. Does that help?

[00:01:23 – 00:01:45] Nitin Bajaj

And I love how you said it, content but not complacent. Yeah, that’s an amazing motto to have. Now as we get to learn more about you, let’s talk more, a little more about what is P3 Studio, why did you start it and where are things right now?

[00:01:45 – 00:05:34] Vinisha Rathod

Yeah, so P3 Studio stands for people, purpose and partnerships. So it’s my own business and so I partner with people to deliver on your purpose. And so what does that mean and what do I actually do? So I build great places to work. So that means. So I’ve got a background from Ernest and Young Boston Consulting Group and worked with many other companies where I worked at the intersection of people and business. So I say how many commercial decisions are based on human bias and the human condition rather than what is commercially sound. So I saw that gap in the market. And for me, when we talk about the sweet spot about being not complacent but content and seeing, okay, what is the bigger picture that companies and what can they do to our society. So I saw if I can help build great companies to work based on my skill set on people, culture, leadership, alignment, education and training, org design, right. People write roles, found a branding. So getting really clear and having imagine more people were content and not complacent and consistently wanted to have great experiences for themselves and fathers. And so I saw the impact that businesses have in our society. So smart companies that want to build great cultures with A players, they hire the best over bias. So smart companies that look at talent, they don’t look at, they don’t care about your background, they don’t care about your gender, they don’t care what school you go to, they’re looking for a grade talent. And so a players want to work with a other A players, they don’t care about the misogynist state, they don’t care about closed mindedness and holding onto things unnecessarily. They want to grow. And that is a direct commercial benefit. So I see that smart companies reduce the wealth and equality gap, which is something I really deeply care about. And in turn that also reduces domestic violence. And I link it because for me what I’ve witnessed, what I’ve seen is that a lot of the reasons that people stay in relationships is lack of access to money and community. And that’s what workplaces can give you. And so for me, I have found the sweet spot that if I can empower companies to be operating in a more smarter way, there’s a direct commercial benefit, but there’s a direct societal benefit. And so that’s why I created this business. Because I came from big companies going into smaller ones and a lot of the training that I got from there and my natural skill set I think could really help build great places to work. But they don’t have to have that not being able to have access to those bigger companies that can have access to someone like me which can bring that learning and then help be more efficient. Because no one says they want to work in a shitty culture like everyone is like, so sometimes you can keep really great people. It’s not money that drives everyone, but if you can harness the best out of people, they are eyes and ears of the business. And I think businesses move faster than government and many others. So for me, the change that I can see and the future solutions that are being developed in our society is through companies. And so why not have the best and have a better commercial outcome and help society in the same time. So that’s kind of why I built it. And also being what was really lovely is when you go out on your own, you’re not tied to anyone. So I really use my platform for purpose. I talk a lot of things, I am see a lot of events, I don’t have to vet and check if it’s okay with anyone because it’s literally just representing myself and my views. So I’m really passionate about addressing the domestic violence and linking things like that. And I’m really passionate about underrepresented founders as well. So, you know, if that helps, that’s probably why I created the business and what I do, I do.

[00:05:35 – 00:06:01] Nitin Bajaj

That’s awesome. And I’m so happy that you do what you do because it shows, you love it, you bring that passion. And when you have passion, you make it so much easier for other people to find out what their purpose is and stick to it. So really happy that you are you and you do what you do. You bring joy, energy and life to everything around you. That’s awesome.

[00:06:02 – 00:06:05] Vinisha Rathod

Thank you. That’s really kind. That’s really kind.

[00:06:06 – 00:06:40] Nitin Bajaj

Now in doing what you do, you know, it’s often, I would imagine pushing people in a good way into places they probably don’t want to go because they’re maybe choosing comfort over reality or purpose or many other things. See, I’m sure there is a lot of people issues that you have to deal with, but if I had to, amongst the many things that you have to deal with, if I had to ask you to call out the one big challenge you’re facing, what would that be?

[00:06:41 – 00:08:21] Vinisha Rathod

Yeah, so in terms of me personally with a business, I think it, it’s saying no. So a lot of people in the startup and in the, in the worlds that we operate with this very community and creatives and stuff, I think there’s a lot of people that want to spend time with you, to pick your brain and wonder how you build your networks and, and as someone that wants to help everyone, you know, I have to learn how to mitigate your time, right? And I go, I want to say yes to everything all the time. I get invited to so many things and then I’m like, wait, I need to do that. I need to focus on this. I need to. So I think it’s really taking my own advice on focus, which is what I tell a lot of founders to really do. Anyone that’s building their business is just that real focus. And I think that’s why for me, reducing wealth equality gap, domestic violence, and also saying how does that link to the bigger picture? There’s a lot of people that also waste your time. A lot of people that don’t actually take action. This is why I don’t do one to one therapy because I just don’t have time for it. And I get really frustrated when people don’t change so if people don’t want to take action, I have very low tolerance, which is why I do more B2B than B2C. So sorry, B2B business to business rather than business to consumer. My only one of my few B2C products is I do a lot of founder personal branding or personal branding. And the way I view personal branding is how does the best version of yourself partner with the world and how do you harness that? And that’s really knowing yourself quite well. And then I have a bit of a framework around it. So it’s literally saying no because I know what I can do is helpful. And a lot of the people that want to help don’t always have the funds or the means or the time to do it. So I think that’s my biggest challenge.

[00:08:23 – 00:08:37] Nitin Bajaj

But you found the challenge and you’re addressing it, which is amazing. Which takes me to my next question, which is with challenges come opportunities. And what’s the one that you’re most excited about?

[00:08:38 – 00:12:19] Vinisha Rathod

Well, so there’s a really interesting opportunity that I’m very excited about. We’re about to have. I just looked at the bank of America this but we’re about to undergo the largest wealth transfer that’s about to go to women. And when I was sitting on a women’s group the other night, they were saying we want more women as limited partners in funds. And I think so Australia has a really strict rule that you have to earn over 250, 250,000 to be considered as a sophisticated investor. But the problem is when I worked in corporate, I didn’t know how bad the funding gap was for women and diverse founders because the pool stays within a certain group. And so a lot of people who want to give back, they go tend to go to charities. Nothing wrong with that. But for me I see the impact is through businesses. And until you know how bad the situation is, you don’t know that you can be part of the change. So if you know that you’re not the type of person to build a business or you can add a lot of value in other ways, I would love to really harness the people that are about to receive the wealth transfer to be like this is how you can help and give back. So Australia is about to have 3.5 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer according to bank of America, because I just took that, that estimates close to 100 trillion of the 124 trillion transfer will go to women, with 47 trillion shifting to women in younger generations and 54 trillion going to surviving spouses. So 95% of them are expected to be women. So the thing with that is that they’re going to have access to. So a lot of the events, all the things that we focus on are like women need more confidence and blah, blah. When I read the report, they were just saying we want to go to more events where we’re educated and empowered to learn how we can be part of the change. And so my big thing is getting. They just. Women just think differently and that’s perfectly fine. A lot more cautious with our money. We want to know where things go. Money is a language and it’s power and it helps. And so if I can get and help with all these people who want to do good and want to and help the world and, and look at different, you know, you know they want different things at the end and they look at different success factors, then I want more of them in the room and that shift the power dynamic. Because to me, the way I see businesses when I do my talks, I said look, I can’t change people who think small. Like I can’t change people who want to keep things the same way. So if you are an engineer and you only give me two options on where I can work here or here. And I don’t want to build a business, I can’t build a business, I don’t have the money to or whatever, I’m not business minded person but I want to work for someone that’s good. If you only give me these two options, my energy is going to this because I need money to live right, I need to build my career. But if you give me a third option and they’re a great culture, they’re doing the right thing, this is where people will go. But if you do not build an alternative that things will remain the same. So for me I always go, okay, well build better. And if I can help you build with the networks I form with my skill set, help me like I can do that. But if you do not have the ability to build, this is not going to change anything. And there are people crying for it, right? A players do not want to work with dickheads. Like that’s just a true. Sorry, I just swear. They just don’t. So the truth is like if you can help build better and I can get advantage of this and, and you know, educate these people into more empowering spaces. That’s the, I think one of the biggest kind of opportunities I see in the market.

[00:12:20 – 00:12:50] Nitin Bajaj

Love that. And those statistics are wild now as we look forward, I Want to pause and reflect and ask you to share two moments from your previous life. One where things did not work out as you’d expected. There was failure, there were lessons, and another instance where things exceeded your own expectations and there was success beyond your imagination.

[00:12:51 – 00:19:01] Vinisha Rathod

Yeah, I was gonna, like, joke around this one, but I was like, a failure. Does divorce count? Because that was pretty traumatic. That was a lot learned there. I won’t go into the details. Let’s just say it was a very traumatic experience. They don’t tell you a lot of things when you’re in that world. But can I share too? Because it’s going to reflect, I mean, of the success. Because I think it will reflect of that experience. So in a couple of. So let me tell you about. Okay, so I entered the tech industry about three years ago. So I was in super corporate land and I entered into the tech startup creative world three years ago. And I’ve completely turned my life around and so much so that I’m writing a book on it. Right. And that’s the other thing I’m really proud of. But throwing into the book, like, I literally run around with a briefcase. And the briefcase is my handbag. And. And I bought it when I entered into tech three years ago because I need a new laptop cover my. And I saw a guy on the bus with a briefcase and half a liter of milk. Interesting. But anyway, I said, oh, mom, I want to. I want a briefcase because it reminds me of dad. Then my father passed away about 15 years ago from cancer within four months. And so just. Just when I finished university. And so I had a career trajectory one way, but then I had to stay home and look after the family because unfortunately, even when something like that’s happening, someone needs to cook some needs to clean, so needs to keep the house going so they can have care of a dad. So I was doing that. So my career took a. So I put everything on and I went a very different way in my career and being able to then come back and find where my sweet spot is or where I’m able to deliver impact and still use my skill set, work with really smart people. And the briefcase became. It was in loving memory of dad because tech felt like science fiction to me, which is what I grew up with. He was an accountant by trade, but he never. But he loved science fiction and the tech world reminded me of that. And so I just wanted a briefcase to remind me of dad. And I, we bought one and it’s dad’s birthday on the code, so. And then I started taking it with me to events because I was trying to learn the tech world, right? So six months after I started in 20, so August 2022 is when I bought it and it exploded like it became this big thing because what, and I think what’s really fun is like it’s a symbol of capitalism, is usually only by men. And here is this young, brown, dynamic, fashionable lady with crazy nails, hair, things, just running around with a briefcase which is like I’m not dishonoring the original function of it, but I’m, I’m making newness and lightness with it. And I became known as a startup fairy like so randomly and then I had to come up with a new definition because you know, telling your father passed away story, it’s really sad. So I said because he passed away at 50 so it’s a complete tragedy. And so I was started making another story and I was like there’s venture capital, money, there’s thoughts and prayers, which is what our prime minister said at the time. And there’s secrets to sustainably scaling your business. So you know, with that I was only been in the ecosystem for two and a half years. I started building my brand for the other business. I had nothing and unconsciously started building myself up, finding myself in a world where a person like me, which is probably very neurospicy, was accepted and it was just so nice and people wanted to hear what I had to say, which I never had in my entire life. And I was able to turn around my life. If you saw I just posted on my socials what I was five years ago to where I am like it is, it’s just a complete turnaround and so, so much so things into my second point I do these personal one to one founder branding sessions or you know, operator branding sessions, like just getting really clear what are you good at? What do you care about and how does that drive that? You know. And so the same way I would pitch myself like I build great companies because I know the bigger impact it has on our society, that consistency. I started to write a book about it and I only decided end of December when my friend is like you should write what you do. Because I would sit with someone for about three, four hours, give them a 20 page document and be like go be the best version of yourself. I don’t want people dependent on me. Like I said, I don’t do one to ones very well. I get angry when people don’t change. But at least let me give you and support with what I Did. And then my friends, I gotta write a book about it. The end of December decided. And I was like, you know what? First manuscript mid Feb. I’ll be fine. Australia falls asleep for like two months. That. Right. It’s annoying. But anyway, and so I did. Oh my God, there’s so much work to writing a book. No idea. Oh my God. Anyway, it’s in the process. I’ve had two rounds of edits. It’s now with my friends being read for testimonials and people I know.

It will be out finalized in the next two weeks in online version will be out mid June and the hard copy out in July. And that was within like a couple of months. So I’m really surprised and excited that I was able to do it. And I think it’s because of ignorance. I did not realize how much work it takes to write a book. And I was like, oh my God, it’s too much work. But I’m glad I did it because I want everyone to live the best version of themselves. Right. Because it actually has such a ripple effect on our society and you actually enjoy life more. Being content and at peace does not mean you become complacent. It actually means you can turbocharge and get more done. Like, I couldn’t have written this book if I was surrounding the surroundings that I had five years ago. I could not write it like this. So I think that’s the impact and power you have when you shed all the crap and literally at like the best version that you can just do so much more. It’s a very long answer. Sorry to your question.

[00:19:01 – 00:19:10] Nitin Bajaj

No, this is. There’s jewels, pearls of wisdom. Love it. The more pearls, the better, the more valuable. So keep it coming. Thank you.

[00:19:10 – 00:19:11] Vinisha Rathod

Thank you.

[00:19:12 – 00:19:28] Nitin Bajaj

You enjoy life, you know, as they say, you’re high on life. But if I had to ask you, what do you do to de. Stress or. Yeah, I don’t even know if you ever do this, but if you had to kind of step off of the treadmill, what do you do?

[00:19:29 – 00:24:08] Vinisha Rathod

Yeah, I go to the beach. So I live a bus ride away from the beach. That’s what I’m going to be doing actually right now. After this is at my friend’s place. I find the ocean’s really relaxing to me. I reach out to friends, you know, I have a very beautiful community around me. I’m always doing really random stuff that makes me laugh, whether it’s R B trivia or going, so some aging now. We’re going to a dance party next weekend that starts at 3:00pm, finishes at 8:00pm like a nightclub. The daytime I can tired what a dance to old school music. When I cater to my age, I go to a lot of tech festivals and stuff, so I speak at a lot of things which I actually really enjoy. So it’s been really great to be able to integrate what I love and do and how I show up in such an aligned way that I’m able to inject a a lot of fun. But I think I write it in the book of like, how do you kind of bring yourself back? And it’s like, yeah, the beach is one. Going out to nature and walks or just connecting. My Instagram algorithms are so on point that they make like, I love reels that make me laugh. So I love if I can just. If I need to laugh, do that. But yeah, I try to catch myself when I need to take a break, but I, I think not for fun, but what I do. But I’m really focused on preventative health. So I exercise four or five times a week. I have a therapist now once a quarter that I need to see him every two weeks anymore. It’s now once a quarter at a human behavior coach. I do acupuncture, so there’s a lot of things to maneuver around me to make sure that I don’t spiral. I don’t know about you, Nitin, but I’m in a lot of people that should be in a mental asylum. Like, a lot of people are not okay right now. Like, they’re not. And I, I think I just surround myself, not in an unhealthy bubble way, but really with people who are empowered and want to enjoy their life and have worked on their stuff and continue to do so and refuse to be a victim by their own circumstances. And I don’t disregard people are in survival mode or very, very different circumstances to me. But, you know, I know that I’ve definitely risen above a lot of things that maybe should have been maybe very small. And I didn’t. And there’s plenty of other people who are like that. So I really literally hang out with A players, with A players, B players. They’re so busy waiting and pouncing on you to hurt you. I mean, just a quick example, I was an emcee for a woman’s event with a. With the VC fund at an incubator. And a man wait 45 minutes. Like, I had all these women, they were amazing. And a man wait 45 minutes to tell me, like, you were a great MC. Like, so confident, but like, too Confident. I was, like, looking at him like, what, you waited 45 minutes to tell me this? Like, really? And a play doesn’t do that. People who are busy building stuff, they’re like, you’re amazing. You’re great. Hug or high five, whatever. Great. I’m going. I’m go. I’m building. I don’t have time to wait around to put you down, because that’s what B and C players do. I plan that. People don’t do that because they don’t have that in their mind to bring you down. They’re too busy trying to bring themselves up. And when you surround yourself with people, like, that is so. It’s. You just. Those people stand out so much because you just surround yourself with these people. I didn’t even know it was possible. And I think unknowingly, all my life, I’ve had that. All my life, I’ve had people. But now I’m in the entrepreneurial world. It’s also getting people like that who think like that instead of putting you down. I had a girlfriend that was like, let me help you build your website with you. That’s the support you need as a founder of a business or anyone that’s trying to grow anything. You need people in a realistic way that are like, like, we’ve. You’ve got this. And I’m gonna have a book shower, you know, because why should baby showers have all the fun? Yeah. You know, it’s like. You know how they’re like, oh, what’s the size of the baby? I’m gonna have that and be like, what do you think the size of the book is with the street? I don’t have fun. Like, is what I’m telling people is like, when you are at such a good place, you actually enjoy your life every day. The moments of joy every day. I don’t live in, like, La La land, but. But you actually enjoy life. I have so many people that want to come to the bookshelf. The theme is hot librarians. And then just want to have a good time. Like, you don’t have to even buy my book right then and there. I don’t care. The book launch is different. There’s a book shower, and I want to just celebrate with people who are like, yeah, that sounds awesome. Let’s just have fun.

[00:24:09 – 00:24:09] Nitin Bajaj

Love that.

[00:24:09 – 00:24:13] Vinisha Rathod

That’s a lot of the things I do for fun. It’s a lot. Yeah, Yeah. I don’t mean long list.

[00:24:13 – 00:24:24] Nitin Bajaj

And I’m happy it is. Now, talking about books, I’d love to ask you to share a book or a podcast recommendation.

[00:24:25 – 00:24:30] Vinisha Rathod

Yeah. Super Communicators I read recently. Have you read that?

[00:24:30 – 00:24:33] Nitin Bajaj

I have. Well I’ve heard it because I don’t read.

[00:24:33 – 00:26:14] Vinisha Rathod

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s right. So good. My God, the way that you can read people. I think it was very validating for me because there’s a lot of things I do on there that I didn’t know was a skill set like at all. Which is very nice. But even the way that you can read people and understand who do we work with them do I partner with them and just really clever. I thought it was just a very clever that I read recently that I was like so practical but thought provoking and you can use it in your everyday life. And I think the way that I even talk about in my book about how does your essence the best version of you. So the Briefcase effect is the name of the book subtitled tbc I’m still figuring out but the brief how do you partner with the world with the essence. So sort of like hot on your sleeve. Essence on your sleeve. And I tested that when I came to America and it works right? Because when you have the best version of you out in the open it’s actually a repellent for people who don’t vibe with that who are the BNC players because they don’t can’t stand to be around it because it casts the shadow on their incompetence and their insecurity. Right. And so as you’re growing in I think that’s and Super Communicators has that way of really finding those nuggets. But because I’m already living that I know other people can that it already you naturally repel people and then attract people who are amazing and they want to be around you. Male or female, it doesn’t matter. Or binary non binary like it doesn’t matter. Like they don’t care. Like a players are literally a players and you surround yourself with people like that. And the Super Communicators highlights how you can bring that in a very another way. But I just thought that was really fun book.

[00:26:15 – 00:26:27] Nitin Bajaj

It was. Thanks for sharing that. Now onto my favorite part of the show which we call the one line life lessons. I know several so I have several you to share yours with us.

[00:26:27 – 00:26:31] Vinisha Rathod

Okay. I have six but like one’s made up. It’s like a little bit more.

[00:26:34 – 00:26:36] Nitin Bajaj

Always the overachiever. Yeah sure.

[00:26:38 – 00:33:41] Vinisha Rathod

Plus chats a lot. Okay. My a few few un minus number one. What if you wore the best version of yourself on your sleeve and partnered with the world then against it. So imagine if you could live like that where you don’t have to wait till you go on a holiday in Santorini to feel like you can actually enjoy your life. You can enjoy it in many moments. So that’s. So that’s the one one, one liner number two. I mean, contradictory to that, but also interesting. Everyone is fighting a battle. Like, I think if we could just be a little bit more compassionate with each other and just know, like, even if someone is bumping you or hurting you or doing something, like everyone, even the most accomplished white guy, which you put on the pedestal of the most least, you know, going through the worst, everyone is fighting something. Like, if you can. Because I think that’s been so game changing for me is that when you come from that place of compassion, you don’t judge, but you don’t have to save either. I think this is what I’m caveating, is that you just go, okay. That’s where they’re at. Like, you know, just everyone is fighting a battle. Everyone is trying to live on this earth just as much as you are. And I’ve had different starting points. And so just let people just come from more compassion that don’t think because they have more money than you or they have a bit of family than you, or they have this than you that, you know, they’re not have internal battles. Everyone does. And you just never know when someone’s mom has been diagnosed with cancer or someone’s just found out some other awful news or, you know, that’s. I think that’s something I really live by to give just a bit more kindness to each other. The third one is it’s not about you. It’s like one of my favorite lines when I use the briefcase. And I think it’s. It’s when you find the fire in your soul and you do you find the fire of this. I’m really good at it. I can make, I can commercialize my skill set because it drives what I care about.

When I work with people on. I don’t have the courage to do this. I don’t want to speak. I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to do whatever it is. Right. I don’t want to go for that job. I don’t ask for that thing. I always say it’s not about you. It’s about the bigger picture of what you’re trying to deliver. So for me, like, people ask, like, what is the thing that you want to do. And I said, I want to live in a society in terms of work when no one will ever be sexually abused at work. And there’s no such thing as gender pay gap. And I can’t do that if you stay stagnant. And if this is why I want to empower more people to start businesses and create the change that you want to see in the world. So if I tell people it’s not about you, like, get over your own bullcrap, get over your own insecurities, get over whatever is holding you back. Get out of that toxic relationship, out of the toxic workplace if you can, and go for what you’re meant to deliver on. And so it’s not about you, it’s about what you are meant to be doing, if that makes sense. And so it gets you out of your own head and go, like, just build it. Like, you never know what could happen, right? So it’s not about you. So I always think, and I look at my friend’s children and I go, I’m doing it for them. I look at every single kid as I’m doing it for you. I don’t want anyone to ever experience what I’ve experienced. And so that’s one of my big lines, another one. I talk about this in the book, about timeless skills, about even if you don’t know what you want to do in your life, have one of these things as. As. I just think it’s really, really good etiquette. But I think lost always. So this is the line. Always give credit when it’s due, even if they’re not in the room. I think it is such a beautiful trait. I think a lot of people. I don’t know if you’ve experienced this, Nitin, but a lot of people forget where they get the source of a connection, a business thing, an opportunity. They forget the original source of where they from, came, came from. And then sometimes they might get, you know, more successful and think it was all them and they start paying attention to the bigger things rather than the people who were the first believers that were there or the people that open the door for you. I never ever forget when my boss, when I was an executive assistant, she says, why don’t you become a consultant? And I said, what the is that? Because I didn’t grow up with that world, right? I lost dad young. Mom was married to dad at 16. It was just, I didn’t grow up with anyone financially, woman financially empowered around me. I didn’t up with any business stuff. I did not know, right? And it was until my boss said that to me that it like, shook my world, that it had even potential. They didn’t wait for a diversity program. A players signed a players. Right? And so I will always credit her and I’ll always credit how I go into the tech ecosystem. I remember when things have been opened for me and people who remembered me even when they’re not in the room. And I think that is such a beautiful trait that you can carry for the rest of your life because you realize that community and people are so important to open the doors for you. Never forget the people who did that. So I have this obsession with vegetables. It’s called I love leek. That’s my line. I love League obsessed with leeks. I didn’t grow up with them, but I just discovered them quite a few years ago. And I think they’re the. I think they’re the Portugal of Europe. Everyone goes to the bigger, bigger companies like France and Spain and Italy and Greece and, you know, they get all the. The highlight, but, you know, Portugal gets left to side. I don’t know if you’ve all been to Portugal. Beautiful. And I feel like Portugal is like, leek. Like, leek is so underestimated. It’s so tasty. So I’m a global campaign. I have a WhatsApp group called the LeekLover Society. And I want. I want people to recognize how great leeks are. And then I’ve been able to create an Instagram and British leeks commented they’re into leeks too. So. And my one liner is I love leek. I really do. I laugh so much when I was writing it. And then I have one more. I don’t know if we’re allowed to swear, but I’m gonna swear anyway. And I think this resonates with our South Asian audience. Karma is a. So if you think you could shortcut things and hurt people and dodge things and act in an unethical way, I mean, anyone who does crosses me or crosses anything that, like, they get it instantaneously. I’ve seen them suffer immensely. But, you know, you suffer in your own mind. Anyone who wants to hurt others is already hurting. And if you really think you’re gonna get away with it, just don’t. Like, you really don’t. So anyone who hurts others is already hurting in their mind. So that’s also. That goes back to that thing that everyone is fighting in battle, but I don’t need to save them and I don’t need to make excuses for it because I know something will go back. So I go, go build better go do better go show up, better go shop differently. And that’s how I’ve tried to conduct my life. Like, I can’t change it, but just know, like, it’s coming. That’s it.

Vinisha, thank you so much. You know, I love your energy, but I what I love most is that that you are uninhibited. Right? Because you found that purpose. You found that intersection of who you are and who you want to be. And that’s what we need more of. So thank you so much for sharing your journey and story and your life lessons and more. Kudos to you. Congratulations on the upcoming book. Super excited to hear it.
