Kicking off 2026 with a calm, reflective football conversation ⚽🎙️

In this episode of Marginally Improving, I sit down with Vedant Khandelwal, creator of Madrid Pundits, to talk about football, Real Madrid, content creation, and finding balance while building something meaningful alongside a full-time job.

We reflect on how his love for football began, how Madrid Pundits grew over time, the realities of consistency, and how modern football is evolving. We also discuss Indian football, creator burnout, and staying curious without losing perspective.

This episode is thoughtful, grounded, and less about hot takes — and more about process and reflection.
