For the first time, I share my story.

I sat down with Gayathri Shukla, host of the Heart2Heart podcast, at the CJSW 90.9 studio in Calgary for an open and reflective conversation about life, talking about where we’ve come from, where we are now, and where we might be headed.

We explore our upbringings, the journeys that took us across continents, the work that gives our lives meaning, and the values that continue to shape our choices. The conversation moves naturally between the personal and the global, including a thoughtful look at what the rise of AI may mean for humanity.

Along the way, we pause to appreciate the quiet perspective offered by the Rocky Mountains, the landscape we’re both fortunate to call home, reminding ourselves of scale, beauty, and possibility.

This was a deeply enjoyable and grounding exchange. I hope you find as much value and connection in listening as I did in sharing it.
