For years, I thought I was failing because I lacked focus.

But the real problem was deeper: I could see the bigger picture, yet I couldn’t hold it alone.

In this episode of The Drill, I reflect on the years of momentum without presence — from policy think tanks and national workshops in Nepal to the fog of drifting through meaningful work without internal structure.

I talk about arriving in London with two red suitcases, studying digital marketing during the rise of generative AI, and slowly discovering that my real speciality was never one discipline — but connecting disciplines.

This episode explores:

The “fog years” and moving without steering

The role of AI as a thinking partner

Attention Economics and the Algorithm Audit

Diaspora life and digital exhaustion

Building Saurav Insight as a modern front yard

The shift from chasing the future to building it

At its core, this is an episode about rebuilding internal architecture — learning how to hold a vision without borrowing it from someone else.
