Show Notes

Our podcast is celebrating its first milestone: 20 episodes! And we’d like to give our listeners around the world a HUGE shoutout: Thank you for tuning in. While it’s been almost one year since we aired our first episode, it feels like yesterday. And we’ve learned a lot along the way! On this week’s episode, Hashem sits on the hot seat and is interviewed by our producer Chirag Desai who asks him to reflect on the first year of podcasting. They discuss the emergence of micro-entrepreneurship in the creative space, reopening The Lighthouse post-lockdown and future themes that our listeners can expect on the podcast. The key learnings of launching a bi-weekly podcast? That the medium is important but it’s the quality of the content that trumps all. And we promise to continue to deliver fresh and stimulating content in this shifting global landscape.
