21. Raj and Mick: Sharing their struggle and finding the funny

Hi I'm Krutika and today's conversation is with Raj and Mick. They are the co-hosts of an incredible podcast called Bruv Cast.

As a fellow Gujarati of a certain generation, all the topics they discuss, albeit from a male perspective are really resonate and conveyed with a sense of light-heartedness that make it an easy, yet impactful listen.

I was absolutely thrilled that they agreed to join me for a conversation, and I'll admit I may also have been fan-girling a bit because they've been in my ear for the last year!

Honestly, they're just the nicest guys and even though we were connecting for the first time online, I felt like I'd known them for so much longer. Their chemistry, warmth, banter and playful humour made this conversation so easy and effortless, and I can't wait for you to hear more about their journey. We deep dive into how they met, why they set up their podcast and what they've learnt along the way.

Let's face it, we all go through challenges in life, but your perspective can make all the difference, and true to their tagline, Raj and Mick have a way of finding the funny no matter the struggle, and it's a motto I'm certainly trying adopt in my own life!
