Welcome back dear viewers to another great episode of The Attitude Makeover Show. Today, on Ep 19 of our show, I have a really awesome individual with me by the name of Vidhyaa Reddy and we discuss what it's like representing celebrities, apart from other things. She is the producer and director of Kettles Talent Network which is a talent and celebrity management agency working exclusively out of Southern India.

Vidhyaa takes us through her journey, beginning with her background as a film student, how she landed a work placement with legendary director Mani Ratnam and her initial experiences on the set of the film Pithamagan that starred Surya and Vikram. In doing so she highlights one of the biggest challenges a person can face in a large industry - being the only woman in a sea of men.

Throughout the conversation Vidhyaa parries details about her external challenges with insights into some of the mistakes that she made along the way, laying great emphasis on the importance of knowing your own strengths and sticking to them. We get a fabulous first-person perspective on the nitty-gritties of conducting shoots in the world of fashion and celebrities.

Guys, it gives me great pleasure to bring to you Episode 17 of The Attitude Makeover Show to talk to an expert about conceiving a women's support network. With me today is the one-of-a-kind Saritha Hegde, who by all inclinations is a true champion of women empowerment everywhere. Saritha was the Senior Vice President at ‘Li and Feung’ until 2020 when she decided to begin her own enterprises titled ‘Not Just Hot’ which specialises in gourmet wok hot sauces, and Friday Convent a professional women’s support network.

If you have a dream of your own that you’re wondering if you should pursue, but are hesitating to take the plunge, then you need to listen to what she has to say. Saritha talks about some of the challenges that you are likely to go through when you leave the comfort of a high-paying successful job and begin something new that isn’t as fashionable. She describes the effects that this can have in your personal life and some of the key mindsets required to keep your ambitions alive.

In the spirit of openness to such change, she began Friday Convent, a women’s support network with the goal to facilitate leadership, empowerment and economic development of women. She traces aspects of this ambition back to her matrilineal background and believes strongly in the process of self-discovery and finding the little joys in life while at it. “It’s all about doing what is important to you”, she says firmly!

Women and men everywhere, check out this episode and get to know an incredible role-model for us all!

Hello viewers and welcome to another episode of The Attitude Makeover Show. This week we have a guest who is something of a specialist in the specific area of “human’s best friend” to take a deeper look at Dog Psyche'. I have with me canine behaviour consultant and educator Sindhoor Pangal whose journey into the canine world is nothing short of incredible.

Sindhoor is a strong proponent of humans spending a great deal of time and energy in understanding dogs and doing our homework especially prior to adopting them. In doing so she breaks many of the myths and assumptions that people make about dogs, cites some of the most significant challenges faced in our relationships with them and throws light on some of the most remarkable traits of Indian street dogs that most of us are scarcely aware of.

Thrill as she elaborates on her experience of pursuing her passion through the canine world and gives us precious nuggets of advice on what to and not to expect when following one’s passion in an unconventional path.

Dog-lover or otherwise, you don’t want to miss this gem of an episode!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to The Attitude Makeover Show! My guest today is the remarkably unique Mr. K.M Anees with whom I dive deep into the thought process behind ID foods. I knew him years ago as a Senior Software Engineer when we both worked at Hewlett Packard, but since then he has gone on to become the Chief Technology Officer at the much-loved household brand ‘ID Fresh Foods’.

Anees is an unconventional thinker with a special love for identifying what customers want and orchestrating creative and out-of-the-box processes to serve them. In this conversation he discusses the role of data, analytics, software technology skills and innovation in the challenging environment of perishable goods.

Placing a great emphasis on the love and concern of being a home-maker in every customer, he is a strong advocate of business that arises not just from the brain but also from the heart.

Hello everyone! It is my absolute pleasure to host the 'all-inclusive' Anjali Chugani as she'd like to describe herself with whom I talk about deconstructing the art of learning. Having started her career in the fashion boutique space, she found herself exploring the scope as a teacher, culinary educator, writer, content creator and chef in the UK and now, Spain.

An advocate of being kind, soft and nice to oneself as much as others, she gets into the nitty gritty of how championing mistakes is crucial to success and was the cause of one amazing Anjali 2.0. This conversation is a gentle reminder of self-love each one of us needs, tune in now!

In this interview, I'm joined by Andaleeb Wajid, the queen of breezy reads who writes constantly, consistently and wonderfully well. She has had the privilege of pursuing one's passion full-time and this is something we slowly unpack through the course of the show.

She has been writing from the heart for over a decade now and her novels span across genres from young adult, romance, sci-fi and horror. A rebel searching for her cause, she never felt herself fitting into the restrictive moulds of society and writing became her solace and way of expression.

In this conversation, she talks about full-time writing, hits and misses with self-publishing, the economics and future relevance of traditional books, and her off-beat ambition. If you are looking to take a plunge into the passion economy, listen to this engaging conversation for some much-needed nuggets of wisdom.

I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Alagu Balaraman, a dear friend and the Founder Director at DeepSell, a company that identifies and creates sales opportunities via tech.

In my mind, Alagu is known for his unconventional, squiggly career that has taken him places. Today, he talks about starting out with a traditional career path and the changes thereafter highlighting how “All change starts with an attitude makeover." We also go into depth about unlocking oneself from a long-term career plan.

He delves into his idea of career plans in a dynamic economy, marriage of wealth and tech to change career trajectory and creativity in transformation. A major highlight of this conversation is a complete teardown of the supply chain concept, it's evolution and the future. Tune in to this remarkably interesting and informative episode!
