Ancient One on Learning

For those who watched Doctor Strange, we’re quite sure this is a line that everyone resonates with! 👇🏼

How Nansi Mishra Built India’s leading Startup Podcast

The co-founder and creator behind 100x Entrepreneur — Nansi Mishra is a LinkedIn Top Voice, a mom of a two-year-old, and someone who immensely values work-life balance.

From battling self-doubt and constantly learning and unlearning, Nansi’s posts on LinkedIn offer a slice of her candid personality. 100x has about 20,000 subscribers today, and while she handles the operations, her co-founder and husband Siddhartha Ahluwalia hosts the podcast.

We wrote a Twitter thread on how Nansi built 100x and found her voice while doing so.
