406. Let's Tok Saurabh Gupta: Conquering Mountains and Microphones
"When you give somebody their first experience of anything, you have to be careful in how you do that."
"I was born in India and raised in a certain way. But I was reborn in the United States."
"The first thing is special any part of your life."
Saurabh Gupta says he is someone who's literally 'all over the place.' He learns from one place and applies it somewhere else. If something piques his curiosity and offers a learning opportunity where he feels he can do it justice, he tries it.
Professionally he is a lifelong technologist in cybersecurity. Beyond his chaotic life, he's a husband, dad, musician, runner, hiker, real estate investor, and consultant, usually not in that order. Yeah, he finds excuses to stay outdoors...LOL. His personal philosophy is, 'How you do one thing is the way you do everything.' He strives to embody this spirit in his podcast, where conversations range from technology to personal development. Why? Because life is full of nuances, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Make efforts, create your own story, and pursue fulfillment.
Reena Friedman Watts welcomes Saurabh Gupta to the Better Call Daddy Show for an inspiring conversation about embracing new experiences and the transformative power of stepping out of one's comfort zone. Saurabh, a first-time podcast guest, shares his journey from a pampered child in India to a marathon-running real estate professional in Florida. Discover how Saurabh’s adventures, from college band days to scaling Mount Whitney, have shaped his perspective on life and the importance of gratitude. Saurabh’s story is a testament to the power of curiosity and the courage to explore uncharted territories. He discusses the pivotal moments that led him to discover his love for music, running, and podcasting, each experience adding a new layer to his evolving identity. Learn how Saurabh overcame self-doubt to launch his own podcast, Let’s Tok, and the joy he finds in giving others their first opportunity to share their stories. Join Reena and Saurabh as they delve into the nuances of cultural heritage, parenting, and the significance of language in preserving one's roots. This episode is a reminder that life's journey is enriched by the risks we take and the connections we make along the way. Saurabh shares insights on fatherhood, tradition, and personal growth offer valuable lessons for anyone seeking to live a life full of purpose and adventure.
