YANR: You Are Not Ready. A sentiment every individual feels while growing up or preparing for a new phase of life, as well as a statement I used to tell myself I was going to achieve things no one could imagine. The world isn't ready for me. But maybe I'm not ready for the world. The adventure that is life exists somewhere in between these two sentiments. So come along with me, Siddharth Kumar, an engineer, filmmaker, actor and youtuber as I engage in conversation with people who inspire, motivate, mentor, and fascinate me in an attempt to get a little more prepared and a lot more done.

#YANR - Episode 5: The influencer economy and social media's upside
With 35k followers on instagram and a collective 30k subscribers on Youtube, Strawbanni (AKA Anni Hudson) is a bona fide influencer who has a gift for earnest storytelling and a deep understanding of social media markets. Over the course of the hour I had the absolute pleasure of picking her brain on why she tells stories, what she's learnt about herself through engaging on youtube and the oft forgotten bright side of social media. Anni brings a fresh new perspective I felt was missing from the discussion regarding social media and has a plethora of unique observations about herself, humanity and the future of social marketing. From the nitty gritty details of how to build a following to the benefits of social media influencing I feel this conversation has value to anyone who engages with the machine as a consumer or a creator!

#YANR - Episode 3: The Journey to Making a Living as an Artist | Art, Colonization, Business
Say goodbye to the starving artist stereotype, and help me usher in a new era of artists who are equal parts adventurers, expressionists, entrepreneurs and technicians. In this episode I had the opportunity to talk to one of my favourite artists and good friends Rudra Manani as we explored her journey from high school to university to the real world and what she learnt about finding her voice as an artist, making a living and finding her niche as a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on photography and painting. Rudra's more works focus on themes of identity, voyeurism, and appropriation with her more recent focus on the appropriation of Hindusim in the Self Care industry and I can confidently say I have learnt a great deal from her journey and her art.

#YANR - Episode 2: Flipping the Switch and Making the Decision to Improve your Life
What does it take to lose 100 pounds, go from zero idea of what you're interested in to becoming a double intern at Google for Software Engineering and junior consultant at McKinsey & Company, all while developing the work ethic to carry an almost 4.0 GPA in an Eng/Business double major at one of Canada's most prestigious universities? How does one make the decision to trust themselves and commit to improving your life when you're not where you want? These are just some of the questions we discuss in Episode 2 of the #YANR podcast with my younger brother Aradhya Bansal as we discuss his journey in life and what we've learn about making the conscious decision to be better including actionable tips, tricks and motivations.
