This conversation was recorded on April 27th, 2026. I had the pleasure of meeting Kartik at a local bar in San Antonio, through our mutual friend Derek (Episode 72). Kartik is a local engineer and a very fast friend. The second time I spent time with Kartik was through an invitation from our mutual friend Nils ( Episode 83). He is an excellent example of understanding the importance of adventure and connection.

Kartik carries himself with a beautiful curiosity and kindness and I am so grateful we were able to spend some time together. He has such an encouraging attitude and I know we could all learn from him.

Thank you for listening!
