Throughout my 20s, my sole focus was to achieve significance by being extremely successful in my comedy career. I thought that was the purpose of my life. And everything else came after, marriage included. I didn’t realise at the time I was missing things that were way more important - real confidence, perspective, enjoyment of my own process, family, true faith and legacy. However, I was taught/shown the true picture of life and success over the course of a short 6 years of married life. Being married revealed the inherent flaws & cracks in my person and how much change was required in so many areas of life . I inevitably and gradually fell quite hard on the floor of reality. It was unplanned, depressing and one of the best things to happen to me because of how I’ve emerged from those years. And I truly believe God used my marriage to catalyse a change/shift in me that was needed but would not have happened otherwise. It has been extremely foundational to bringing me to a place of true contentment. And in this episode, I dive into a bit of the story behind how I’ve come to be the happiest, most content & focused version of myself ever with the person who has seen me at both ends of the spectrum - my wife, Kavitha Sundersingh! I also make a case for marriage and why it’s not a goal detractor, but how the right partner can put you on the fast track to success in more ways that you even realise - both personal & professional. This interview is also has some funny anecdotes and more so jump right in and give it a listen. I can promise it’s 44 mins of perspective you’d appreciate especially if you’re in your 20s or 30s, contemplating marriage and if it’s for you.
