Hey friends—this one is personal.

Episode 103 of This with Krish lands right on my birthday… and right in the middle of Easter week. Shannon was supposed to join me, but after a crazy week (and spoiling me way too much), I’m running this one solo.

In this episode, I reflect on everything that changed this past year—from stepping into my role as CMO and finally being present with my family… to launching this podcast… to writing and publishing our first book, Mar-Ed.

I also share a powerful perspective shift inspired by Mike Posner that completely changed what I thought I wanted for my birthday… and why a Timex and a Casio calculator watch meant more than a Rolex ever could.

We also get into Easter—what it means, how I didn’t grow up with it, and how Shannon and I have created our own family traditions rooted in faith, fun, and a little bit of chaos.

This episode is about presence over pressure… purpose over performance… and realizing that the life you’re chasing might already be the life you’re living.

Hey friends, you’re listening to This with Krish…

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we dive into the life of Tiger Woods—one of the greatest athletes of all time. From dominance and global superstardom to scandal, injuries, relationships, and his recent DUI arrest, this is a story that goes far beyond golf.

We unpack the pressure of success, the reality of failure, and the truth about what it means to fall… and keep falling. But more importantly, we talk about redemption, faith, family, and what really matters when the spotlight fades.

This episode isn’t just about Tiger—it’s about all of us. The struggles we hide, the mistakes we make, and the hope that we’re never too far gone to turn things around.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are and who you’re trying to be… this one is for you.

• The deeper spiritual connection to Psalm 102 and Easter
• The controversy surrounding access to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday
• When it’s appropriate for kids to watch this powerful film

This is our centennial 100th episode of This With Krish Show — and we’re kicking off a brand new format where I sit down for real conversations with incredible humans and friends.

And I couldn’t think of a better person to start with than DJ Ravi Drums (Ravi Jakhotia).

Ravi is a global performer, innovator, and pioneer who helped redefine live DJ experiences by combining drumming with DJ sets long before it became mainstream. From performing on global stages like the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, to becoming the first Indian-American musical director on primetime television alongside Paula Abdul and Howie Mandel — Ravi’s journey is as inspiring as it is unique.

But beyond the music, we go deeper… faith, family, culture, health, breathwork, meditation, and finding your rhythm in life.

This episode is about creativity, innovation, balance, and what it really takes to live with purpose.

We just got back from spring break in Florida—and what started as a family road trip turned into something much bigger.

From Palm Coast to St. Augustine to Navarre Beach, this episode dives into the real impact of travel on kids… how it shapes their confidence, curiosity, and behavior in ways we don’t always notice in the moment.

And the wild part? Just a few months after our Atlanta trip, we’re already seeing growth. Less chaos (okay… slightly less), more engagement, and a whole new level of awareness.

If you’ve ever wondered if traveling with kids is “worth it”… this one’s for you.

Last night… at 2AM… my phone exploded with one of those loud, heart-stopping Amber Alerts.

You know the one.

The one that wakes you up, scares you half to death… and if we’re being honest… the one most of us swipe away without really thinking.

But here’s the question…

👉 What if that alert was for your child? 👉 Would you want people to ignore it then?

In this episode of This with Krish, we dive into the real meaning behind Amber Alerts, why we’ve become numb to notifications, and how a simple shift in awareness could actually make a difference.

This isn’t just a serious conversation… it’s real, it’s funny, it’s a little sarcastic, and it might just change the way you think the next time your phone goes off in the middle of the night.

We also walk through real-life “What Would You Do?” scenarios that will challenge you to think differently about everyday situations—from gas stations to highways to your own neighborhood.

Because sometimes…

The difference between someone being found… and not…

Is someone who almost did something… but didn’t.

Because sometimes the biggest life lessons come from the most unexpected places.

Youth sports parents… are absolutely wild.

In this episode of This with Krish, I tell the hilarious and slightly unbelievable story of my son’s lacrosse game against a team we’ll simply call “Cobra Kai.” What started as a simple 9:00 AM youth game turned into a 3.5 hour delay, suspicious scheduling, a massive Dallas thunderstorm, lightning on the field, and grown adults arguing while kids were standing there with metal lacrosse sticks.

Yep… youth sports in 2026.

But beyond the humor, this episode digs into something deeper. What happened to youth sports? When did kids’ games start feeling like the NFL playoffs? Why are some parents and coaches so intense that they forget the point of the game entirely?

We talk about:

• The insanity of modern youth sports culture • Crazy sideline parents and hyper-intense coaches • Why winning isn’t everything for kids • The importance of humility, safety, and respect • What youth sports are supposed to teach our children • And why storms on the field sometimes reveal a lot about people

This episode is funny, real, and something every sports parent will recognize instantly.

Because at the end of the day… these are kids playing a game. And maybe adults need the reminder.

If you’ve ever sat in a folding chair at a youth sports field… this episode is for you.

How much time do we really have?

As another birthday approaches, I’ve been thinking deeply about time, legacy, faith, and what it truly means to run the race of life and finish it well. In this episode of This with Krish, I reflect on a powerful message delivered by Pastor Dan Lian at Keystone Church that challenged me to think about life differently.

For most of my younger years, I wondered if people would remember me someday. Would anyone remember the things I built, the things I tried, the good things or even the mistakes? Over time that question changed. Instead of worrying about what the world might remember, I started thinking about what my wife and children would remember.

And then something even deeper happened.

I realized that while I care deeply about my family remembering me fondly, the only thing that truly matters is living for God and faithfully running the race He has given me.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why time feels different as we grow older • What it means to truly finish the race of life • Why legacy isn’t about fame but faithfulness • Why I started this podcast in the first place • The moment after Charlie Kirk’s assassination that changed how I thought about leaving something behind for my kids • Writing handwritten birthday letters for my children that they can open every year until they are 99 • The realization that moments—not money—are the real currency of life • A powerful reflection inspired by James Van Der Beek about time, family, and presence

This episode is about slowing down long enough to ask the question we often avoid:

Are we running the race God gave us… or someone else’s?

If this conversation resonates with you, share it with someone who might need encouragement today.

Six years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, a cross-state move, career growth, parenting chaos, lacrosse games, golf tournaments, and more late-night strategy sessions than we’d like to admit… Shannon and I started writing a book together.

It was supposed to take a year.

It took six.

In this episode of This with Krish, I share the real story behind writing our first book, Mar-ed — why it took so long, what nearly stalled it, how writing together tested (and strengthened) our marriage, and why we chose to explore the intersection of marketing, education, faith, marriage, and parenting.

This isn’t a content giveaway. It’s the behind-the-scenes journey.

We talk about:

• Why marketing and education aren’t separate worlds
• How culture is shaped at home before it’s shaped online
• What writing a book with your spouse really looks like
• Why delay doesn’t mean denial
• And why June 1st means more than just a launch date

If you’re building something — a business, a marriage, a family, a calling — this episode is for you.

Mar-ed releases April 2nd. We can’t wait to share it with you.
