This week on the podcast we’re joined by Kopal Goyal, the *ONLY* female outdoor filmmaker in India and founder of @inspire.crew.
Kopal talks about how her passion for climbing and her chosen career path were at odds with her upbringing and how she still grapples with the pull of societal expectations and tradition. She also shares about her film, Project Wild Women, which features female athletes across India who are pushing their sport and breaking barriers - and it was accepted into @banffmountainfestival in 2020! This episode covers pursuing your dreams against the odds, the power of a camera, and climbing as an escape from the naysayers.

India's Only Female Adventure Filmmaker, Kopal Goyal, on Listening To Your Heart

This is sort of a business podcast, but it’s really about interesting, successful people who have designed their lives to thrive outside of the corporate box we’ve been put into. This one is for the rebels, the creatives, and the reluctant leaders. This is for people who dare to live + think outside, by design. Grab a helmet and buckle your boots because we get deep.

The host: My name is Lisa Slagle, and I’m a creative director, writer, and human woman dedicated to having as much fun as possible while creating meaningful, impactful work along the way. I love talking to people, asking big, existential questions, and exploring the intersection of storytelling and culture. For the last 14 years, I’ve owned a creative agency called WHEELIE, which I started from a clapped-out laptop and some soggy business cards that I used to hand out on chairlifts. It grew into a thriving company full of awesome humans, and I’ve gotten to meet and work with thousands of amazing creatives, marketing teams, VPs, CEOs, athletes, and entrepreneurs. I think the human experience is extraordinary, and this podcast features people who know how to design fun, interesting, creative lives on their own terms.

Today's episode is kind of wild, and that comes as no surprise because today's guest is THE Alex Bogusky. Alex was creative director, then partner, then co-chairman of Crispin Porter + Bogusky and was named "Creative Director of the Decade" by Adweek in 2010. Alex led some of the most celebrated and revered ad campaigns of the last few decades. But he left the ad industry behind, and we get a glimpse into his new path in life.
You're going to want your SCUBA gear for this one... Alex dives DEEP into topics like infinite consciousness, releasing ego, love, and meditative journeys. Take notes, re-listen a few times, and let it all sink in.
