the Birdy Num Num Podcast episodes
- I planned a podcast relaunch for a month and couldn't press record.
I made "just do it" videos for years. Then I spent ten weeks not pressing record on this episode. There was a tripod I never bought, a sound recorder with battery acid in it, and a baby asleep in the next room. My mind has been as active as it's ever been these last four years, but with content supply exploding I just overanalyzed everything. If you have a half-built side project in a drawer, this one's for you. The Birdy Num Num Podcast is back, weekly (hopefully). Come along for the ride.

13 min - Small and Easy Ways to Build Confidence
Engineers and corporate folks who studied engineering never really were in the school of cool (including myself) so I thought I'd talk about things I did over the years, from 21 to 35 to build my confidence in this lovely world.

About the Birdy Num Num Podcast
From the publisher's feed
The Birdy Num Num Podcast is creativity, AI, dating, and real talk for engineers and office folks who suspect there's more to life. Host Sanjay Manaktala is an Indian-American comedian with 35M+…
views online, an ex-Accenture engineer who left IT for stand-up comedy in India, and a guy who now works a corporate day job in Houston while still hitting open mics. Because life begins after engineering. Back after a four-year break with short weekly solo episodes on AI tools and creativity, content strategy and personal branding, the future of work, and the Indian-American experience. Then dig through 100 episodes of back catalog on confidence, dating, careers, and interviews with creators and founders. DM @sanjayComedy on Instagram or tweet @SMANAK with topic requests.
