S1, E42 - Finding Joy on the Other Side of Fear with Tanya Selvaratnam
What if fear could help us find our way to joy? In this episode of From the Culture, Amanda Slavin and Dr. Marcus Collins sit down with author, filmmaker, and advocate Tanya Selvaratnam to explore the difference between fear that protects us and fear that keeps us from living fully.
Drawing on her experiences of intimate violence, illness, and rebuilding her life, Tanya shares how she has learned to trust herself, stay open to serendipity, and make room for joy without denying pain. From knowing when to pause to finding people we can trust, the conversation explores the tools that help us reclaim our agency.
Together, they ask what it means to be shaped by our experiences without being defined by them, and how those in power can create cultures where people feel safe, heard, and free to thrive.

S1, E40 - Don’t Finish the Story Too Soon with Dhar Mann
Success rarely follows the version of the story we imagined at the beginning. Sometimes growth means persevering. Sometimes it means letting go. And sometimes it means creating an entirely new table when the one you were trying to reach no longer fits who you are becoming.
Dhar Mann is an entrepreneur, creator, and founder of Dhar Mann Studios, one of the world’s largest digital storytelling companies. His path has included extraordinary success, major failure, reinvention, and the experience of building again from moments that could have looked like endings.
In this episode of From the Culture, Marcus Collins and Amanda Slavin explore how we know when to keep going and when to release an old version of the dream, what failure can reveal about who we are becoming, and how our definition of success changes over time.
Because sometimes the most important thing we can do is keep going. And sometimes it is realizing we are allowed to build a different table.
