In this insightful episode, Ankur Shiv Bhandari takes on one of life’s most universal pursuits: the relentless search for the “Secret Ingredient” of success. From boardrooms to personal lives, we often assume success must lie in some hidden formula, an external tool, or a magical breakthrough waiting to be discovered. But what if the answer has been closer all along?

 Drawing on vivid metaphors, cultural touchpoints like Kung Fu Panda, and his own framework of Intentonomics®, Ankur unpacks a profound yet simple Truth “The Real Secret Ingredient is You”. Success isn’t hidden in a scroll, a strategy, or a system, it’s unlocked when we bring clarity, conviction, and authentic purpose to our actions.

 With practical insights and empowering takeaways, this conversation shifts the lens from looking outward to looking inward, reminding us that the greatest catalyst for change and growth lies within ourselves.

In this insightful episode, Ankur Shiv Bhandari challenges the myth of the rigid roadmap and introduces a more liberating perspective: paths are not railway tracks, they are rivers, adaptive, flowing, and shaped by the terrain they move through. Through vivid metaphors, real-world examples, and his own journey, Ankur reveals why flexibility isn’t failure, but intelligence.

 Because excellence isn’t about never changing course. It’s about holding your why tightly, but your how lightly, continuing, adapting, and growing.

 🌊 From the fear of “Failing” when you pivot to the power of embracing fluidity, this episode reframes what it really means to be on the right path.

In this thought-provoking episode, Ankur Shiv Bhandari explores the shift from human-driven markets to algorithm-driven realities. With sharp insights, vivid metaphors, and cultural references, he reveals how AI, unlike humans, doesn’t pause to ask “why.” It simply optimises, sometimes in ways that erode trust, amplify bias, or sideline human values.

 From “mindless math” to the power of intent, Ankur reminds us that the true risk is not rogue AI but unexamined goals. The invisible hand hasn’t disappeared; it is evolving. And whether it steers us toward progress or peril depends on the intent we embed at its core.

 Because even the smartest AI still needs a reason to matter and that reason belongs to us.

In this thought-provoking episode, Ankur Shiv Bhandari explores the paradox of “More.” With sharp insights, cultural references, and real-life reflections, he reveals why the real issue is not lack of input but lack of intent. From cluttered minds to overflowing closets, Ankur shows how without purpose, content becomes clutter, but with intent, it becomes a tool for growth.

Because true progress does not come from collecting more, it comes from mastering a few. True insight does not come from reading more, but reflecting more. And true satisfaction does not come from acquiring more, but from using what matters well.

Ultimately, Ankur reminds us, "Perhaps true contentment comes not from abundance, but from alignment."

In this thought-provoking episode, Ankur Shiv Bhandari challenges the idea that the value of our expression lies in the reactions it gets. Drawing on memorable metaphors, relatable real-life examples, and cultural touchpoints like The Truman Show, Ankur unpacks the difference between speaking for a response and speaking for a release and why the latter might be the more powerful choice.

Because sometimes the true impact of your words isn’t in how others receive them, but in the clarity and freedom you gain by letting them out.

From the noise of external validation to the quiet strength of intentional expression, this episode is a timely reminder that not every message needs applause, some simply need to be voiced.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Ankur Shiv Bhandari’s powerful blog of the same name, challenging the performative checklist culture that surrounds credibility today. With references ranging from The Greatest Showman to real-world leadership experiences, Ankur unpacks how authenticity isn’t something you perform, it’s something you return to.
Because true credibility doesn’t come from sounding perfect. It comes from sounding real.

From the traps of polished pretence to the quiet power of showing up as your full, unfiltered self, this episode is a timely reminder that the skin you’re in is more than enough.

"We’re not here to fit a mould. We’re here to shed it."

In this episode, we explore Ankur Shiv Bhandari’s thought-provoking blog “Per-fectly Fine… Until It Wasn’t”, where a simple linguistic shift reframes how we see flaws, missteps, and the pursuit of perfection.

Words like “defect” and “perfect” share a common root, yet their meanings could not be more different. Through memorable metaphors (including a Harry Potter analogy you won’t forget), Ankur highlights how Intent and mindset completely change the outcome, not the tools we use.

We also return to the Knowing–Doing Gap, that frustrating space where brilliant plans fall flat. Why do things go sideways even when everyone’s aligned? And more importantly, what can we do about it?

This isn’t about chasing flawlessness. It’s about embracing learning, refining with purpose, and recognising when a so-called defect might just be the beginning of something better.

In this insightful episode, we dive deep into Ankur Shiv Bhandari’s blog Excellence Has a Formula: And No, It’s Not "Work Harder" to uncover a practical and refreshing take on what Excellence truly means and how to build it.

Tired of “Excellence” being thrown around like an empty buzzword? So is Ankur. That is why he breaks it down into a clear, actionable equation:

Excellence = (Ri + Pe) / CS

That is, Results Increase plus Potential Enhancement, divided by Consistency and Sustainability.

From baseball’s Moneyball to boardroom burnout, we explore how this formula applies to real world challenges. Whether you're leading a team, growing your career, or simply trying to improve without burning out, this episode is for you.

This is not about working longer. It is about working smarter, using systems and clarity, and applying what Ankur calls Excellence Intelligence.

Have you ever traded your true self for the comfort of fitting in?

In this heartfelt episode, we explore Ankur Shiv Bhandari’s thought-provoking blog "Fork It, I Miss My Spoon", a powerful metaphorical journey about identity, belonging, and the quiet cost of fitting in.

Through vivid childhood memories, cultural shifts, and pop culture references like The Devil Wears Prada, we unpack what it truly means to trade authenticity for acceptance, and how to find your way back to your “spoon self” in a world full of forks.

If you’ve ever altered your voice, name, outfit, or choices just to fit in, this one’s for you.

As with many of Ankur's reflections, ultimately they connect directly or subtly with his core theme: Bridging the Knowing-Doing Gap. We welcome you to subscribe to this channel and also connect with Ankur's other social media to join us on this journey of finding happiness through Excellence by Bridging the Knowing-Doing Gap.
