Isn't it ridiculous how increasingly common it is becoming nowadays to loose friends and family over differing opinions? We talk a lot about Divserity on this Podcast so I think it is high time we address Diversity Of Opinion and the gravity of that upon overall Diversity.

In this Solocast I riff about all things ecochambers, belief systems, idealogues and limited mindsets. Together we explore what it means to be truly open minded and in turn help wider communities across the world come into a space of GENUINE mutual respect and understanding.

Kartik Kuna might just be one of the ONLY South Asian musicians or artist to be making a full time secure income from his career in music. He is a successful Sydney based wedding singer, songwriter, musician and singer.  If this episode doesn't prove that following your dreams can ACTUALLY work out, then I don't know what will! We hope that this episode inspires young aspiring artists (especially those from immigrant families) that job security and success can come wrapped all sorts of packages, and that anything you love doing is worth pursuing for a life-time of happiness. Kartik is proof of that. His Newest song 'Do You Deserve It'  Ft. Justine Eltakchi is OUT NOW on Spotify & Apple Music. Stay tuned for his EP 'Songs About You' coming out this Valentine's Day!

Simi Pannu is an Integrative and Functional Medicine Health Practitioner, Trauma Scholar and Toronto based Yoga Instructor. We talk about the cultural trauma of cultural appropriation including within the current Yoga industry and tackle some hypothetical solutions to this issue from multiple lenses. What can WE as South Asian people do to protect and preserve our culture? And SHOULD WE protect our culture against the inevitable spread of global multiculturalism? Where is the line between traditionalism and a little bit of healthy cross cultural contamination?

TRIGGER WARNING - there will be some content that may be interpreted to some as “politically incorrect”. A gentle reminder that this is a podcast for open minded discussion, and we can only broaden our world views by challenging them.

In this first episode I open up to you about my personal story, how Brown Paint came to be, the intra-cultural discrimination I faced to get to where I am today and discuss how being an Artist is considered a "rebellious" act in South Asian Culture.
