Manage episode 483151863 series 3586815
What if you could build your epic career without the fear of failing?
In a world chasing speed, Warikoo advises people to try everything, experience it all, until the path becomes clear.
In Barbershop’s latest episode, Shantanu chats with Ankur Warikoo (Entrepreneur and Bestselling Author), who deeply talks about personal growth and mindset shifts on career development.
He shares his journey about scaling a 70 Cr education empire, ‘WebVeda’, with 100% refundable courses, and yet, it’s thriving effortlessly.
In this episode, Warikoo explains that content isn’t just about reach, it’s about the trust you build over time. So, if he, being a well-known social media personality, gives content half a day a week and crushes it, why can’t you find your survival options? There’s no fluff at all in this conversation, just very actionable steps and real talk about life, purpose and bootstrapping your dreams.
Key Takeaways:
- What resilience and long-term thinking look like in business.
- How AI is quietly transforming course dubbing and content clean-up.
- What fuels his three income engines: content, community, and investing
- What if playing it smart could also be playing it bold? Tune in, and maybe you will see your path a little differently.
