A few days back, I read a post by Nikhil Narayanan talking about the talents of Royce, a Karaoke Jockey & Emcee based in Mangalore. In his post he sought support of the LinkedIn community and LinkedIn for Creators campaign to promote small businesses, in an effort to source gigs for Royce.

I was moved by this story and reached out to Royce asking if he was up for a podcast on #SalmanNeedsAJob.

Please watch/listen to hear Royce’s story and what he has to offer to any event near you.

Suhani Shah is a mentalist and a well-renowned magician from India. I had the opportunity to watch her perform and speak to her at the Under 25 Summit 2020 in Bangalore. Here, Suhani shares insight into her journey starting out and provides a sneak into the secret to developing her expertise in magic.

As I have been extended access to video podcasts on Spotify, I am going to share interesting conversations I have had on #SalmanNeedsAJob, that previously didn't make it to the audio feed as I considered the video to be an important element of it. I hope you enjoy this episode.

This interview was taken at a Tedx event at St Joseph Engineering College, Mangalore.

This episode is all about screenwriting with Rekha Nigam. Rekha’s work spans across the entertainment industry working with top TV networks, advertising agencies, and screenwriting for prominent Bollywood movies like Parineeta & Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. In addition to the profession of screenwriting itself, we discuss the foundations of storytelling, about the film industry, reading, writing, languages, digital media, and the role that women play in the advertising industry.

Rekha Nigam is a natural storyteller, and in this episode is a fun-filled conversation where I learn a ton about her craft with this passionate storyteller.

This episode contains 2 interviews. In the first interview, my friend Shreshta Bhandary turned the mic around and interviewed me about what’s been going on with my job search, and about my plans with #SalmanNeedsAJob. It was recorded at Zomaland. In the second interview, I speak to Shreshta Bhandary about her job as a compliance Analyst.

Video links:

The reason for featuring 2 separate topics in the same episode, is because it was both me Shreshta interviewing each other, so you may find it fitting to listen.
