The Samuna KC Podcast

Who am I to start a podcast in my own name? That too, about building a personal brand! There are so many other people, more talented and famous than I am. What if you will find out one day that I am a fraud, and the things I say in the podcast, the ideas, vision, personal branding tips, businesses, and entrepreneurial advice and the guests, are not genuine! 

The 1000 plus downloads we have so far, the messages I get, and the business inquiries, are flukes. I am not the one they are looking for,  They all are going to find out one day that this is not real, I am not capable of doing what I say I am and I won’t be able to live up to the expectations of everyone. I will be a failure again.

Podcast Intro

You are listening to The Samuna KC Podcast and I am your host Samuna. 

If you feel like the way I feel, then apparently you are not alone. Also, I am not the only one out here. 

Here are a few names that you might have heard and their experiences. 

Natalie Portman-  Actress and Harvard Graduate, has repeatedly shared her experiences of feeling like a fraud. Especially during the grad school. 

Jennifer Lopez says,  “Even Though I had sold 70 million albums, there I was feeling like, ‘I am no good at this.’”

Jodie Foster said, ‘When I won the oscar I thought I was a fluke. I thought everybody would find out and they’d take it back. “Excuse me, we meant to give that to someone else. That was going to Meryl Streep.” 

Seems like actresses go through it, more than anyone else, but it’s not true. Here’s More on the list:

The legendary Maya Angelou: “I have written 11 books but each time I think, “Uh Oh! They are going to find out now. I’ve run a game on everybody and they are going to find me out.” 

Albert Einstein, “The exaggerated esteem in which my life work is held, makes me very ill at ease. I feel compelled to think of myself as an involuntary swindler.” 

We are talking about Imposter Syndrome here.

According to Shri Shri Ravi Sankar, what is a mistake? And the way to avoid it. 

The lessons we can learn from the idols of Hanuman Ji and other Hindu deities are to become fearless and express yourself to the fullest. And much more.

When the mind is ready, the right information arrives and we are able to grave it and use it to progress forward. Spirituality makes our mind and body ready.

 Spirituality prepares us to be ready for the adversaries and face them.

Once upon a time, Hanuman, a character in Hindu mythology, was cursed and forgot who he was. Until lord Ram reminded him of his powers. Then Hanuman went ahead and put stones on the sea, with lord Ram’s name written on the stones. For everyone’s surprise, the stones didn’t drown, instead, they floated in the water and created a bridge that the team desperately needed, to go across the sea and win the battle against Ravana. 

The moral of the story is with faith, actions with good intentions, and the awareness of a personal brand, we can create the magic we meant to create in this world.

We are the Hanumans of the 21st century, seldom anyone reminds us of our powers and we rarely believe in them. This podcast is a weekly reminder you better believe that you are a personal brand.

Consider subscribing if you wanna discover and develop one variable under your control that can make or break your career, business, or life as a whole, a Personal Brand. 

One of the most influential books in every successful person’s life.

Once a woman in conversation with Tolle said, “I stopped going to my church because they were not following their own teachings. But I feel guilty” to answer it, Ekart says, “maybe God doesn’t want us to go to church, or identify with any group or religion.” And for the same reference, Oprah says, “God doesn’t want us to serve him only on Sunday at 11 am service.” God doesn’t want me to identify with any name or image of him. Ego wants us to create an image of ourselves and identify with it. I don’t know who I am, and it's liberating.

There are two big questions to deal with now,

1. If I only observe my thoughts then where does the manifestation exist? For example, how is “Think and Grow Rich” possible?

2. The incidents, in our lives, are merely co-incidents?

My success, failures, any titles I have or don’t have, relationships, career, past or future, all of these are ego. Who am I then? 

Hello there,

If you have read the book Power of Now and are familiar with Ekart Tolle’s teaching, then you would know, these are the great times to go deep into ourselves and connect with other human beings in a real sense, even when in the Quarantine. 

You may ask what spirituality has got to do with business? Or, building a brand? This is something you gotta figure out on your own. I can teach you how to build a business, brand, sales, marketing, to start a podcast or a youtube channel but, spirituality is a personal journey. No one can do it for you, You will have to do the journey on your own. However, I will show up regularly for you, with the means and portals to enter and progress into the journey.

Prabal Gurung a world class designer and an immigrant from Nepal, while looking at a design from an African designer said, “every person is fable from the land that you may never visit, but their stories may heal your soul. 

International students bring billions of cash into the US economy every year and add value to the cultural diversity in the American society.

To start a  business,  online or retail will sell whatever first thing is you gotta analyze the risk.  Make sure you know the number. You know the risks.  The other thing is, you have to be legal to work in the US.  Like you have to have either citizenship or a green card or any working visa. 
It depends upon the state. The first thing is the registrations. The business registration locally, you have to pay the fee and taxes according to the state rules.  And have your business name and registered it.

Even if it's an online business you need to have physical address.

2 Trillion Dollars Stimulus Package.
Unemployment Benefits.
Payroll Protection Program.
Gig Economy.
International Students and
Undocumented Immigrants.
This episode is all you need to know about the 'Stimulus Package' government is offering to Americans. We will try to explore some of these questions in today's episode. 

I noticed there are three categories of people in quarantine right now, 

1. working from home for other 
2. Looking to work from home
3. Have no idea what to do with their time and just share memes on social media.

I believe you belong to the second category and looking to work from home. Disclaimer, you can make money from home, but it won’t be easy and immediate, it will take time and effort, like any other work.

Online is not this mystical world where you need to find a secret, or a key or a password, that can make you rich magically. The online world is just like the non-online world. I don’t wanna call it, the online world and the real world, because online is as real as non-online. Matter of fact, you have to be more real and better at communication in the virtual world, because here people can't see you in real-time like you can’t see me at this moment, but as online dwellers, we gotta develop trust and build relationships. By the way, if you wanna see me you can find me on youtube as well. 

The point is, it takes equal, if not more hard work, passion and communication skills to succeed in the online space. To get a quick glance at how the online world operates and how it’s similar to the non-online world you wanna watch the movie, Ralph Breaks the Internet, it has a sneak peek of the virtual world we live in. Oh! my god talking about the movie is making me wanna watch it again, for maybe the fifth time, it’s that good. Highly recommended. 

It was rather a longer intro than we usually do because I needed to get it out of my chest because there is so much bullshit going around in the name of online business and making money from home.

There are basically 2 ways you can make money from home if you can read, write and speak English, even if you can’t then you can have an interpreter, and sell your skills. Those two methods are,

1. Virtual Assistant jobs
2. Online businesses 

And there are numerous subdivisions to both the sections. Let’s talk about virtual assistance first,
