About Kadam - The small steps podcast
This is Kadam, the small steps podcast where we try to uncover what it means to have a traditional career. We will have conversations with people fresh in the industry - those whose experiences are often unjustly overlooked. To make the right long-term decisions, we believe one needs to have the proper understanding of the short term outcomes. At the end of each episode, we hope that our listeners can extract a little more meaning with a little more confidence to live life a little bit happier. Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to make sure you’re caught up with all the small steps.

S2-E8 | Isha | Project Manager | Currently Managing Web Design Projects and Looking at a Future in Acting
How many different careers are too many careers? Do you sometimes feel like a jack of all trades? What happens next? Do you feel like you would be good at something else too if you gave it a shot? Do you feel you could do better than another person who currently has the opportunity you wish you had? Whatever industry you are in, and whatever jobs you are applying for, we all have seen rejections from one place or another. This doesn’t always mean that we do not have the capabilities to perform the job, but it sometimes just means that we are not what the company or person is looking for. This is very apparent in the movie industry too. As our guest says, if you are not the vibe that they are looking for, then it’s going to be hard to get a call back for a certain role, no matter how good an actor you are. Our guest Isha shares her experiences from project management, acting, classical singing for 14 years and so much more. We also share some interesting discussion about her interest in Criminal psychology, reading books and looking into cases, studying body language in court proceedings and other interesting details to look for. Listen in to this week’s episode to get a wide ranging conversation and discover how Isha plans to take further steps to achieve her goals of becoming an actor! ---------------- Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to keep up with all the small steps. https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/ (https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/) Reach out to Isha on instagram https://www.instagram.com/ishamudgal/ (https://www.instagram.com/ishamudgal/) and through email at ishamdgal@gmail.com Illustrations by Arjit.

S2-E7 | Andrew Marino | Freelance Designer | Currently Exploring the World of 3D Printing
Have you ever thought about walking onto a movie set and becoming an actor by honing on skills you learned as the youngest sibling? Do you know the feeling of having to save conversations with friends so you can keep them natural for another time? How do you create hard stop points when you work from home? Not every Industrial Designer is a 3D Print enthusiast, but our guest today purchased a printer while we were still in school. Since then, he has invested countless hours trying to make products that people love. Not having found a role in the kind of work he wanted, he sought to create products where he not only made money, but earned high praise. His most famous product is one that the Nerf Community has provided so much positive response for. Listen in on this week’s episode as Andrew provides his insight into creating and running a podcast, finding a niche for the kind of work you want to produce, competing in a world of critics, and so much more. ---------------- Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to keep up with all the small steps. https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/ Reach out to Andrew on instagram https://www.instagram.com/andymarinara/?hl=en and on linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-marino-b76a20aa/ Find some of Andrew’s work on his website at https://www.andrewjmarino.com/ Check out one of Andrew’s product here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPLTFfTipdI - The NERF community loves this!

S2-E6 | Katy Kirkpatrick | Designer/ Varsity Coach | Currently a Designer in Birmingham, Alabama
From being mistreated by men at work, to recently marrying her childhood crush, our guest shares the most incredible stories from her life. From being one woman in twelve designers, one of the eight females out of the almost 100 employees, and from being the youngest employee on the team, Katy shares her fascinating story of being able to find a balance to stand up for herself while still not losing her own temper. She also speaks to us about her passion to become a leader for little girls all around so they can stand up for themselves and be confident. Our guest this week is not only an artist, but also a varsity volleyball coach. We talk about finding balance, and finding time in an otherwise hectic schedule. We also speak about making and following budgets and how that has been different since she has been married. From bringing a positive mindset back when one comes home with an extra gift to the other being stressed about how much the gift cost. From being spoken over at work, to being able to lead her young girls team to the nationals and proving the haters wrong. Listen to this week’s episode where stories like these range from self doubt because of external factors, to self confidence because of a belief in your own abilities, and much more. ---------------- Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to keep up with all the small steps. https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/ (https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/) Reach out to Katy on her email ktshoe1@gmail.com (mailto:ktshoe1@gmail.com) Find some of Katy’s work on her website at https://www.katyshoemake.com/ (https://www.katyshoemake.com/) Illustrations by Arjit.

S2-E5 | Jam Jones | Teacher/ Investor/ Designer | Currently a Teacher in Pyeongtaek, South Korea
Moving abroad and being in a culture that is totally different from what you’re used to is often not everyone’s cup of tea. Being in a place where people sometimes have to touch your skin or your hair to realize that you are a real, actual human can be scary for some people. Those that go through it with an open mind and a willingness to share and learn are some of the most diverse individuals. It’s honestly sad that not everyone that is willing to go through this experience gets this kind of opportunity because it can be an eye-opening and horizon-broadening time of one’s life. Our guest this week not only went through this experience when she studied abroad in Taiwan, but also goes through it almost all the time now as an English teacher in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. But how did Jam get from wanting to be a full time designer to teaching in East Asia? She shares her experiences and takes us through a journey from searching “creative jobs that pay well” to the happy and satisfied place that she believes she is in now. We speak about drawing comparisons with those around us and while it’s not a topic we had similar views about, we give two different perspectives of that, both with very valid arguments. Listen in to decide which one you think you support, and to learn much more on this week’s episode! ---------------- Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to keep up with all the small steps. https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/ (https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/) Find Jam on Instagram @jam.notjelly https://www.instagram.com/jam.notjelly/ (https://www.instagram.com/jam.notjelly/) A presentation by one of Jam’s mentors: https://iampresentation.com/ (https://iampresentation.com/) The iMaster Academy platform that Jam uses https://www.imarketslive.com/#academies (https://www.imarketslive.com/#academies) Illustrations by Arjit.

S2-E4 | Lea Hix | Designer/Law Student/Teacher | Currently a Law Student at Ole Miss
Standing up for ourselves and those around us is, and will always be an important aspect of being a responsible person. Especially with what is going on in the world with Covid 19, Racism, and other things that people have to deal with every single day. Our guest Lea shares experiences that have made her be the person that stands up. She speaks about loving people and how not everyone in the world can do that naturally. Lea then shares her experiences from her jobs including creative services and marketing for a private jet company, counting grass and roots at a turf job, and now doing “everything except mopping, and sometimes even that” at a school in Oxford, MS. She is also currently pursuing Law that she was offered a full Scholarship to attend at Ole Miss. Lea takes life one step at a time, and while she has so much to say about routines, goals and life in general, she is still figuring out what the best route for her will be.

S2-E2 | Andrew Brainer | Shoe/Apparel Designer | Currently transitioning roles into being a designer with a leather goods company in Cleveland, OH
From Air Jordan to Yeezy Boost, from upcomers like Onclouds to some retro styles like Chuck Taylor's, many of us pick up shoes that not only provide the right comfort, but give us a feeling of who we are. Some match their shoes according to their outfits, others match their outfits to their shoes. Andrew Brainer is one of the latter. A guy with a fascination for shoes and shoe design, listen in on what Andrew believes about design education, following your passion, staying diligent and rolling with the punches. He provides insights and misconceptions about the shoe industry and shares his experiences from Pensole Footwear Design Academy and New Balance. We speak about questions like: How to succeed in a particular field you are following? Do 5 or 10 year plans really work for everyone? What is the power of creating for happiness? This and much more on this week’s episode, so listen in and keep sharing! ---------------- Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to keep up with all the small steps. https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/ Find Andrew on Instagram @thebraintrain and @brainer_creative https://www.instagram.com/brainer_creative/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brainer/ Find Andrew’s latest submission for the Pensole Masterclass here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DrLJt_pt5Q Pick up some true brand merchandise and brainer goods when they are available next at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrainerGoods?ref=search_shop_redirect Illustrations by Arjit.

S2-E1 | Mackenzie Letherby | Environmental Graphics Designer | Currently a Designer at Benson Integrated Marketing Solutions
Ever wondered who designs the signage and wayfinding that goes all around stadiums, parking decks and basically every place where a huge crowd can be expected? Ever thought about getting to know someone who is responsible for creating experiences that connect people to places? Ever had the great feeling when you find the “food court this way” sign that leads you to your favorite restaurants? Learn more about all this and more on this week’s small steps podcast. But how did Mackenzie end up doing something so cool? Was it what she always planned? We talk about how she had to cater her portfolio to apply to different jobs, being scared of asking for feedback because of the fear of being criticized and eventually finding people that are actually helpful. We also talk about her initial plan of getting into the medical and assistive device industry and if she plans to pursue that further. Listen is as we talk about being Happy doing what you are doing and overall contentment levels. It’s a question I plan to ask every guest this season, so stay tuned! ---------------- Follow us on Instagram @KadamPodcast to keep up with all the small steps. https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/ (https://www.instagram.com/kadampodcast/) Find Mackenzie on Instagram @kenzie.letherby Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackenzie-letherby/ Illustrations by Arjit.

S1-E10 | Chanah Fallin | Graphic Designer | Currently a TEFL Teacher for K2-K3 in Thailand
This episode stands for multiple different things, one very important being - Allowing ourselves to make the decisions we need to make, without getting highly influenced by those that tell us they have more experience, so that we’re not blaming them if things don’t go our way. We believe everyone’s experiences are different, and it is hard to emulate or imitate exactly the same situations of others simply because they have lived longer than us. It goes without question that one can learn from others' experiences, mistakes, experiments and successes, but there is something more in just figuring things out the hard way, and it’s not just about the joy of achievement but countless other things about experiencing the journey. Chanah, who grew up in a country where she says she didn’t look like the rest of them, moved to another where, although she looked like the rest of them, faced an identity crisis within herself. We talk about decision gambling, how the meaning of success can change from country to country, culture to culture, and situation to situation, what Chanah believes she has learned from the 4 and 5 year olds around her and much more. Listen in to hear more about that, and to discover more about the time that Chanah had to dress up as a font, and follow a certain design aesthetic! Is chaos just a by-product of being a millennial/Gen-Z?

S1-E9 | Tushar Kataria | Software Developer | Back-End Developer at Myntra
Listen in as we uncover Tushar’s journey from an avid gamer in school to a Back-End Developer for Myntra, one of India’s biggest fashion E-Commerce companies. Tushar talks about writing a 1000 page HTML document, putting in the work, being the highest scorer in high school and how all that ranks as being useful in life. We speak about enjoying the journey of high’s and low’s, and making sure to share insights with those that might or might not be around you. Time management, working for deadlines, and setting priorities...Tushar shares his road to achieving a way that works for him. Listen in as we speak about having ping pong tables, soccer fields, and more such places and things that companies now provide to keep their employees around, and to keep them happy! What are Tushar’s views on that and what is his advice to those that might be looking to succeed in the software developing field? Find out on this week’s episode!

S1-E8 | Jacob Whitehead | Marketing | Senior Research Associate at Magellan Research Group
Another one related to finance and marketing, this time straight from wall street! Listen in as we uncover Jacob’s journey from giving the ACT exam 8 times to getting promoted at his NYC financial job multiple times in one year. We talk about getting along with and influencing people that don’t necessarily want the same things in life as you and impressing employers looking for very specific skills, sometimes without fulfilling all requirements. Find out how a southern country boy from Alabama went to speaking fluent Mandarin at his internship in China and plans to create blogs showcasing the world to people from his individual perspective. We then speak about the fear of letting go from a company and how he is always planning to make sure he has something to fall back on! The Gucci belt, the expensive car, other dumb purchases we all make when we get our first jobs might or might not be worth it. Listen to what we have to say about that and much more on this week’s episode; after you’re done, let people know...you heard it here first!

S1-E7 | Gyanada Rasyara | Psychology | Psychologist at Cathena Education and Amicus Therapia
To raise awareness about September being the Sucide prevention Month, and World Mental Health day coming up on October 10, we thought we’d invite someone who has been working in the mental health industry for the past year. Currently a clinical psychologist at Cathena Education and her own company Amicus Therapia, Gyanada has helped many in need. In this episode, we discuss with her the process of thinking from the other side of the room. We talk to her about what she thinks are some things that people can do and be when things don’t go their way. Everyone’s life is a twist, and we all have mixed emotions throughout a day. One moment we are happy, and the very next, without knowing what happened, we are going down a spiral of self doubt. Listen in as Gyanada talks about what we should do to control our emotions. We talk about self help, getting diagnosed with a mental health disorder, talking to friends about problems, and much more. We, at Kadam, are big advocates for therapy because oftentimes, those in therapy have to be there because those that should be are not.

S1-E6 | Will Toll | Finance | Currently a Financial Advisor at Equitable (AXA)
Have you ever wondered what your buckets of investments should be? Our guest today tries to make sure his clients trust him so they let him handle their big investments. But what does it take to be a successful financial advisor? What does it take to work in a big and reputed financial firm? How does one get interested in finance when their sports coach is the one teaching that class? How influential are people like Gary Vaynerchuk and what does one learn from them?

In this episode, our guest shares her journey of wanting to be a lawyer, a field she got into because of an argument she had with her teacher in fifth grade. Listen as we uncover how long she actually pursued that and what the Desi (People having strong roots and behaviors of the Indian subcontinent) community and those around her think of her decisions. Being a great friend to every person she meets, she mentions what she believes are the secrets to those relationships and what she considers essential to please others. Mehak has lived in 15 different states in the USA, challenging perspectives of those around her. Listen in as she also mentions how we can make the best out of the situation we are in right now!

S1-E3 | Vrinda Batra | Hospitality and Linguistics | Currently a Japanese Language Translator at a Hospitality Firm
Listen as we talk to our guest about failing multiple times, dropping out of college, and finding something you love behind a mirage of lack of options. She has not only conquered learning one of the hardest languages in the world, but also found success through it, continuing to prove that a degree that isn’t your choice or happy place, isn’t a degree that’s probably needed in the long run. We talk about society norms and mental health, and how it is okay to not have the same beliefs as others around you. We also talk about Vrinda’s Witchcraft hobbies and how that has been a different experience for her and those around her. It is important being yourself and doing things that make you happy!
