This episode, Joanne chats with Darshen K, a former flight attendant turned content creator who made a bold career shift during the pandemic. Darshen is known for his unique and often hilarious takes on everyday life, from typical Asian behaviours to uncensored reviews of toilets and malls.
Listen in as Darshen talks about his journey from the airline industry to content creation, how he draws on his personal experiences to create relatable content, and the importance of embracing the unexpected. Joanne and Darshen dive into the creative process, the cultural nuances behind his videos, and how humour can offer moments of self-reflection and insight.
They also discuss the power of authenticity, vulnerability, and why being real with your audience can be just as impactful as being funny.
