We hit half a century! For the milestone Episode 50, I couldn’t have had a better guest than my dear friend and the powerhouse - chief by role and chef by passion - Kanishka Sharma a.k.a. The Tenth Muse, co-founder of Bengaluru's scrumptious NAVU Project! We celebrate together with a conversation fuelled by growth and the courage to chase dreams.

Beyond her delectable dishes, Kanishka's journey is a melting pot of passion, challenges and triumphs. Bringing it all, we talk about lived experiences, entrepreneurial journeys in a passion economy and food - from frog legs to Podi Idli! As somebody who took the plunge long before me, we relate and share our thoughts on navigating personal relationships with money, adversity, partnerships and people along the way.

She’s a woman entrepreneur and a woman chef, both together. She breaks the mold. What it means to leave a legacy while finding reasons to Go to work every single day, our conversation is filled with takes and takeaways, especially for young women yearning to move the needle.

“Me and my dreams have always come second, but now they are my first priority” - Every aspect she touches upon is a testament to THE Attitude Makeover that ultimately leads us to our personal growth fueled by passion and purpose. TUNE IN NOW!
