  • Real Estate Isn’t Easy Money (ft Heaven Kaymen) - Ep. 18

    Toronto realtor Heaven Kaymen Joseph joins Krish to talk about the grind behind building a real-estate career, from driving Uber and doing odd jobs to making real estate his full-time work. The conversation covers client trust, sales pressure, realistic housing expectations, renting versus buying, and getting started without industry connections. Along the way, they swap Future Shop stories, talk Brampton driving and dream cars, and discuss how corporate life can make it harder to be yourself.

    Heaven closes with the question he uses to keep moving: “What’s the worst that can happen?”

  • Being Funny Saved Him From Getting Robbed (ft Jesse Singh) - Ep. 17

    Jesse Singh, aka Punjabi Timbit, joins me to talk about growing up in Jane and Finch, surviving bad gigs, and finding his voice after 11 years of stand-up. There’s a robbery story, a nickname born from a roast, and an edible that kicked in at the worst possible time.

    We also get into brown parents, empathy in comedy, men’s mental health, and the difference between giving to someone and losing yourself. Jesse leaves us with one piece of advice: choose guilt over resentment.

  • Finance and Everything Else - Ep. 16

    This week's guest wears two hats — financial advisor by day, yoga/Pilates studio owner.

She also opens up about founding her wellness studio, complete with infrared light therapy and an R&B Friday night vibe.

    Then it's high school flashbacks — HB math trauma, Kumon kid flexing, and a teacher neither of us has forgiven. 

    Topics covered:

    • Relationship responsibilities in dual-income households
    • Financial planning myths and annuity basics
    • Marriage timing and compromise vs. expectation
    • Building a wellness studio from scratch
    • Dating app dealbreakers and DM horror stories

  • Everything You Were Too Afraid To Ask a Chiropractor - Ep. 15

    Do chiropractors secretly judge everyone’s posture?? Can they crack their own backs incorrectly?!? And what separates someone who recovers quickly from someone who remains in pain for years?  Only one way to find out!

    In Episode 15 of Who’s Talking – Wait, What?, I sit down with chiropractor Akshay to ask a mixture of serious, curious and slightly unhinged questions about chiropractic care.

    Akshay talks about some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding chiropractors, what it was like practising adjustments on a real person for the first time, and whether chiropractors ever worry about something going wrong. Trust me, I was testing his patience on this episode


    I needs to know whether Akshay is silently judging my posture throughout the entire interview 👀 

    They also discuss:
    • Whether chiropractors judge strangers’ posture in public
    • Whether chiropractors can crack their own backs incorrectly
    • The risks involved when learning adjustments
    • The chiropractic myth that frustrates Akshay the most
    • Why some people recover while others remain in pain
    • One simple habit for maintaining a healthier spine
    • What Akshay would be doing if he had not become a chiropractor

  • Nobody Talks About Jobs Like This Anymore - Ep. 14

    In Episode 14, I’m joined by one of my childhood friends from Grade 9 for a conversation that goes everywhere in the best way. Sometimes I don't even know which way.

    We talk about growing up together, school memories, Xbox and Halo, how life changes after high school, and what adulthood actually looks like once the jokes wear off. We also get into his career in Tool and Die trade most people have heard of but don’t fully understand and why that kind of work deserves more respect.

    It’s a funny, honest, nostalgic conversation about friendship, work, marriage, regret, responsibility, and how much people can change over time while still feeling like themselves.

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked back at an old friend and thought, “How did we end up here and its been over 16 years?!?"

    We talk about his journey competing for Team Canada, the rivalry that pushed him to another level, and how martial arts shaped the way he handles pain, pressure, and life outside the ring.

    We also get into his Batman persona, the meaning behind his tattoos, Tamil identity, Quebec vs Toronto culture, teaching kids, and why staying connected to your inner kid might be a real superpower.

  • Why You Need Therapy (ft. Supriya Verma) - Ep. 12

    Krish sits down with therapist and author Supriya for a conversation about therapy, boundaries, self-awareness, emotional health, and the stigma around mental health in South Asian culture.

    They get into free therapy vs real friendship, self-deprecating humour, social media self-diagnosing, relationship red flags, and why therapy is about more than just “fixing” something wrong. Supriya also shares the heart behind her book, Boundaries Made Simple, and why self-reflection matters more than most people realize.

  • Gym Culture Got Weird | Steroids, Body Dysmorphia & Men’s Mental Health - Ep. 11

    In Episode 11, I sit down with Arsh to talk about the real side of fitness—confidence, body image, and what men don’t always say out loud.

    Arsh shares how bullying and insecurity shaped him early on, how he spiraled into extreme weight-loss habits, and why the gym became the one place he could shut his brain off and rebuild himself. From there, we get into the modern gym era: influencers, steroids, unrealistic standards, body dysmorphia, and why gym culture feels way different than it used to.

    If you’re a guy going through it right now: start with one thing—talk, or at least find a healthy outlet. Don’t carry it alone.

    In this episode:
    • Fitness as an escape + building confidence
    • Body image, extreme dieting, and dysmorphia
    • Steroids, shortcuts, and “the new norm”
    • The biggest lie about getting fit: waiting for the “right time”
    • Consistency vs perfection (10 minutes still counts)
    • Men’s mental health: talking to someone + having an outlet
    • Gym culture today: tripods, clout, and ego
    • Lightning round: pre-workout, carbs vs lifting, gym green flags, and more

  • Nurse Life: Night Shift & Boundaries (ft Deenesha) - Ep. 10

    Deenesha (RPN, postpartum) breaks down night shift life, dating safety, 12-hour shift boundaries, and the chaos of running a flower business while doing her RN.

    If you ask her to “chill” the day before a 12-hour shift… she’s gonna lie and tell you she’s busy — but she’s already in bed 😂

    This episode with Deenesha is the realest mix of nursing life, dating in today’s world, and the hustle of balancing RN school + postpartum nursing + a floral business. We get into nurse burnout (yes, the equipment room is real), why dating a nurse isn’t for the weak, and the Facebook Marketplace customer that tried to short her on a bouquet.

    We talk about:

    • Why 12-hour shifts change your whole social life
    • Dating safety + location sharing (and the Yorkdale anxiety moment)
    • Nursing burnout + mentally checking out mid-shift
    • How she started her floral business (self-taught)
    • The “deposit scam” story and why she changed her policy
    • Would she quit nursing if her business blows up?

    Guest: Deenesha — RPN (postpartum), RN student at Seneca, floral business owner.

  • Women: “I Just Want to Be Toned” — Here’s the Truth - Ep. 9

    Women say: “I don’t want to get bulky, I just want to be toned.”
    In this episode, Joana Mathew and I break down why “toned” doesn’t happen without muscle — and why strength training (yes, heavier weights) is what actually creates shape and definition.

    What we cover

    • The truth behind “toned” and body composition
    • Why heavier weights won’t magically make you huge
    • How to start lifting heavier with confidence
    • Simple mindset shifts that change results fast

    About Joana

    Joana is a female trainer and coach who helps people get stronger and actually look the way they say they want to look — without living in fear of “getting bulky.” She’s big on real strength training, smart progression, and shutting down fitness myths that keep people stuck doing the same light weights forever.

    For anyone who says “I just want to be toned”

    • “Toned” = muscle + lower body fat. You don’t get definition without building something underneath.
    • Lifting heavier doesn’t make you huge overnight — it makes you stronger, tighter, and more shaped.
    • Stop chasing sweat. Chase progressive overload (adding reps/weight over time).

    For women who are afraid of “bulking”

    • You’re not going to wake up looking like a bodybuilder by accident.
    • The “bulky” look usually comes from eating more + not enough training structure, not from lifting heavy.
    • If you want shape: train hard, eat smart, sleep, repeat.
