The Knowmads Podcast

Hi Everyone, 
This is Episode 9 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
Right before getting into the double digits of episodes we decided to do an ask us anything episode. Although we weren't able to answer all the questions that you guys had asked we answered ones that were most interesting and kind of captured many details in the questions that we missed. We would like to thank you all for the wonderful questions and support and we're truly grateful. We'll keep doing the ask us anything episodes since it is a great way to get feedback from our audience and for us to gauge what is it that you all like. We hope you enjoy this episode it's one of the longer ones.

Hi Everyone, 
This is Episode 8 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
During the academic stages of our lives we spend most of our time developing tools and skills that aid our research and problem solving ability and this is true for all fields of study. Now most students think that this is it! This is how you can essentially get your dream position. 
Well what is often missed are the soft skills that are absolutely crucial to provide us that edge over others when applying for jobs. Our guest today is almost at the end of his PhD and has effectively picked up on some of these skills throughout his journey and we understood the essence of sharing it with the world. In this conversation we talk about the effect of time management, having a platform to showcase yourself, networking, a functional relationship with your advisor and much more. It was truly an honest and candid conversation with a lot of perspectives hope you enjoy it.

Hi Everyone, 
This is Episode 7 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
Every rational human has once in their life thought about the implications of porn on oneself and the society. Gail Dines, an anti-porn sociologist and professor at Wheelock college claims in her work that due to the adverse implications of pornography, it has become a public health issue and perhaps a solution is to enforce a complete ban on the porn industry. Our guest today Andrew Baldassarre is a philosopher and his current work is in response to this idea. He believes that it is important to acknowledge the pedagogical power of porn and to harness this aspect for the betterment of our society.

Hi Everyone, 
This is Episode 6 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
The path to self-exploration is very unique for everyone. Our passion, ambition and relationships play an instrumental role in shaping our lives. Our guest today found his true expression and self in literature. His humility and empathy allowed him to overcome all the challenges that life threw at him. With exploring literature, friendships, love, life and lots of laughter, this was one of the most heartfelt conversation in a very long time. 

P.S. This was an online podcast so the listener may experience some glitching once in a while but the heart of the conversation is preserved.

Hi Everyone, 
This is Episode 5 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
A lot of students all around the world
leave their home country and move to another
county to prsue higher education. We often
talk about their learnings and success but in
reality what goes behind all that enlightenment is mostly never talked about. Our guest today has a PhD in physics who left his country, his family
in Nepal, to pursue his career in the states.
Even though this journey was not ideal, his
sanguine nature lead him to where he is now. 
Hope you enjoy the episode.

Hi Everyone, 
This is Episode 4 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
We all know PhD one complete adventure like none other. There exist factors that we don't know anything when we begin our PhD. You can never expect how drastically the research project, advisor and the overall situation can change. Our guest today faced all such challenges and it only made him more strong, mature and confident. 
From having material science as his primary interest he now works in the Quantum Gravity Group.  
Hope you enjoy the episode.

Hi Everyone, 
This is EP2 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
 Have you ever found yourself in a situation when you you're passionate about something, you love something and you've learn to appreciate it from a very very young age but then life happened. 
Our guest today did his undergrad in mechanical engineering and physics but had to make a circumstantial switch to the finance industry. He then spent more than six year and found his was back to physics. This is a fun, fascinating and a very exciting episode. We hope to inspire people in similar situations and we want to let them know that they're not alone and all hope is not lost. 
Hope you enjoy the episode.

Hi Everyone, 
This is EP1 of The Knowmads Podcast. 
 You've already seen our Vlogs and enjoyed our nomadic side. 
We have been planning to do this Podcast for a very long and finally we found the time to make it happen. We finally justify the 'Know' of Knowmads and we kickstart this podcast by addressing a common question that we always get: 
"How do you manage your relationship being in the same profession? How do you manage your personal and professional life? and much more.." 
We come out completely honest about what bothers us and how we actually make it work. 
We would love to inspire those in a similar situation and we hope that others can also take something from this. 
We hope to have ya'll along this journey of exploring not just ourselves but also the world around us. We also look forward to expand our knowledge along with you. We will try to bring unique stories and research that will definitely help people in graduate school. 

xoxo
