About Curiouser and Curiouser (Tell me Everything)
A variety show delving into topics across business, science, music, history, the arts, and anything I'm curious about. Consisting of one-on-one interviews, panels and in-depth deep dives, guests include former CEO & Chairman of Intel, ex CEO of Microsoft, professional athletes, crime novelists, scientist-founders and panels on music. We go deep on subjects such as Dolly Parton, The Bee Gees, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift and the US punk hardcore scene, the legendary Studio 54, the rise of TikTok and Trolls of the Gilded Age. You will learn something new.
Porchlight Episode 2: Captain G.R. Gopinath, Founder, Air Deccan, Deccan Aviation and Deccan 360
Porchlight is a new series on the Curiouser and Curiouser podcast where we talk with fascinating, accomplished individuals about their formative years, unusual trajectories and the lessons they learned along the way.
Imagine the relief when you return home late at night, after a long journey or a trying day to find the porchlight on, a welcoming northstar, guiding you back to warmth and safety. We're hoping that delving into people's early flight paths will similarly, not only be educational and entertaining, but also serve as a model, a template and a beacon of inspiration, a step forward by looking back at the guiding values, attitudes and behaviors that laid the foundation and templates for lives.
In our second episode we chat with Captain G.R. Gopinath, Founder of Air Deccan, India's first low cost airline.
Popularly revered as the "father of Indian low-cost airlines" Captain Gopi is a beloved entrepreneur who democratized air travel by his vision of making flying accessible to the common man and pioneering budget travel. He is also the founder of Deccan Aviation, Deccan 360 and other ventures, but prior to his aviation career, Captain Gopi was a different type of entrepreneur, a farmer, making an unusual pivot after a career in the military. Driven by his deep connection with the land and its people and against all odds, he built a successful working farm from scratch on the principles of sustainability and ecology, a farm that he still works to this day.
We'll talk with Captain Gopi about his formative years in a more personal light and about making something out of nothing.

With Robert Mulhall, CEO Kripalu, Yoga, Wellness & Retreat
A retreat. A university. A rich historical site. A yoga center. An oasis. We chat with CEO Robert Mulhall about the magical place that is Kripalu (www.Kripalu.org).
Set on a 100 acres of forests, gardens, trails, wilderness, lakes and lawns in the Berkshires, Kripalu offers a range of yoga, health, outdoors, retreat, spiritual, mindfulness, nutrition and wellness programming.
The center occupies spiritually and historically significant land once sacred to Native Americans who participated in vision quests on it, housed the Gilded Age estates of industrialists including Andrew Carnegie, and served at various times as a yoga retreat, Hindu ashram and Jesuit novitiate. In an age where wellness experiences are out of reach of the ordinary man, Kripalu is notable for how it makes high quality programming, cuisine, resources and nature available to all. We talk to Robert about Kripalu, its history, the extraordinary land it sits on and its future.
