Love Payal’s interviewing style. Learning so much!
The people that Payal interviews are interesting and interested. They are not afraid to talk about mistakes and fast pivots needed to stay the course.
Payal does a great job interviewing people who are working untraditional jobs and honestly it’s refreshing because most people I know hate their jobs. Her questions are poignant and there is good camaraderie with each guest. If you are looking for like minded people who work extraordinary jobs this podcast is a must listen!
Love this podcast! My favourite for sure. Always keeps me entertained and eager for more! Looking forward to future episodes!!
