A month ago, I started a new audio podcast: The Right Person To Answer. Some of the questions where I found said right person(s)!

Give it a try :)

I asked Naren to start Simblified with me over a decade ago. It turned out to be super consequential for me - not just my longest standing creative project, but also gave me the confidence to start many more things and in many ways laid the foundation for The 6% Club.

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

New episode - and this one is for the Simblified fans.
An interview with my original co-host.

Narendra Shenoy - the right person to answer: What does sticking with a random creative project give you?

And by 'we', I mean Utsav + Me - the duo who runs The 6% Club & Unstuck, programs aimed to help the Indian millennial deepen their relationship with themselves. The former through a creative project, the latter through life design.

We held our first free webinar today morning: Utsav Mamoria on the art of long-form writing.

Close to 200 people showed up to learn about writing, thinking, finding a category of one, and where their own curiosities may lie. Thank you to those who came!

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

I continue to be in awe of my co-founder for his clarity of thought, and how just letting go / slowing down-and-reflecting-more along with the magic element of time can make you a better thinker, creator and person. A privilege to be on this journey with you, sir.

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

@gunjan01shukla So happy to hear this. Thank you for attending :)

• Two methods that keep the writing process fresh and engaging • How to research, take notes and go wild in your sources and more

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

This Saturday, @utsavmamoria is hosting a free webinar on how to write long-form.

He is highly qualified to do so, with his Substack going viral multiple times over the last year, and him being an avid consumer of the form too.

Signup: https://t.co/u4F3uTEcIl

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

He will be covering:
• Why write long form at all, and why is it getting read in the era of short form
• How to choose subjects to write about
• Defining what your writing is NOT
• How to develop your writing style

I speak to @utsavmamoria on how to decide what to let go of, in an age of infinite choice. Whether that's social media, professional choices, relationships, habits - in service of what really matters for you.

On my new podcast, The Right Person To Answer.

Some pics from an epic cycling expedition across Bhadra Sanctuary I did with Pedal Thirst Adventures over the last week...

Coffee estates, hills, waterfalls, dams, magnificent food, and even a couple of bonus treks. This trip had it all.

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

Utsav and I are doing a couple of free workshops in September: One on long-form writing; one on time management (making time for the things you love).

When I was a kid, I used to love this show. That kid would have scarcely believed that ~25 years later, I'd be running a course where the host would be speaking.

Thank you @roshanabbas for being a part of Unstuck!

And welcome, Cohort 2. An interesting 3-month journey begins :)

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

@srini091 Thank you!

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

I launched a new podcast! :)

The Right Person To Answer. In each episode, I ask one question to the person ideally suited to answering it. My guests are diverse - friends, journalists, creators, scientists, overthinkers, geeks.

Links in the next tweet...

[Deepak Gopalakrishnan @chuck_gopal]

Production: @AbbasMomin
Visual identity: @LeleMihir who worked on a lot of AIB stuff back in the day
