Paul brought a 15-foot Burmese python into the studio, and I was scared to death.
It wrapped around my shoulder, and as much as I was dying on the inside, the snake looked mesmerising. It was half on Paul's shoulders and half on mine, yet the weight was still too heavy.
Paul looked at me and said, "She's not trying to hurt you. She's just trying to find somewhere safe."
This is our 500th episode of Figuring Out. And it's the first time we've had a live animal on set.
Paul Rosolie is a conservationist and author who has spent 20 years protecting 136,000 acres of the Amazon rainforest.
He's lived inside the Amazon for years, building Junglekeepers, protecting the rainforest, tracking animals. He's also spent time in various jungles of the world, including India's Western Ghats.
He's also the person whom the narcos in the Amazon want dead.
They're burning down forests to grow narcotic dr*gs, and Paul's team, the Junglekeepers, are the ones flying drones, tracking their movements, working with rangers to stop them.
So they sent out a message to their network: if you see Paul or JJ, shoot them. A cop who helped them escape one of these chases was murdered later the same day.
He told me he spent a year and a half in sheer terror after this became real. Now he travels with a security detail.
And yet, this is someone who's devoted his life to protecting butterflies, birds, snakes. Helpless species being wiped off the planet.
He said, "It's kind of funny that you could devote yourself to something so pure, and then there's humans that want to k*ll you for doing that."
We talked about being charged by wild elephants in India, why snakes avoid humans, and most bites happen because people panic, and why wildlife trafficking is the 4th largest black market in the world, $23 billion a year.
500 episodes in, but it's still day 1. Bigger, bolder, and better stuff is coming your way đ«Ą

Gen Z killed the corporate dream. And it might have been the right call.
For a long time, ambition had a recognisable shape: title, salary band, corner office. The slow climb up on something that someone else built.
You put in the years, you earned the markers, and at some point, you had made it. Most people did not love the process, but they trusted the destination.
Gen Z grew up watching that destination lose its meaning.
They saw what the climb did to the people ahead of them: the burnout, the tradeoffs, the arrival at the top of something that wasn't as expected.
They decided that the destination was not worth the price. So they rewrote what ambition looks like.
Ownership over a title. Meaning over a promotion. Work that feels like an extension of who they are, not a compromise of it.
That last part is where major change happened.
Previous generations learned to keep work and identity separate. It was a survival skill. Gen Z never learned it.
When work feels hollow to them, it does not just feel like a bad job. It lands more personally.
Which is exactly why they move on faster, and why the old incentives stop working on them.
Their ambition made them the central identity, not just their work.

The road to building a billion-dollar business starts with solving your own problems.
As a result of their inability to manage their son's skin problem, they were feeling parental stress.
The majority of baby products in the market included toxins that were harmful to their child.
They noticed there was a need for 100% organic products.
After doing a lot of research and testing, they came up with 6 baby products that were natural, organic, and toxin-free.
Thatâs how Varun Alagh and Ghazal Alagh started the journey of Mamaearth!
They saw that the problem was larger than they realized and that this solution would benefit other parents like them.
Varun and Ghazal's vision and hard work made Mamaearth the first choice of parents and their babies.
To learn how they establish the process of establishing such a remarkable company, I recently recorded a podcast with this incredible duo.
We had an intelligent conversation that featured a lot of laughter, serious discussions, skincare, and abroad stories.

50% of Gen Z say they want to start their career over completely, despite barely having started one.
And when you ask them what's wrong, they don't say they are burnt out, in a crisis or most importantly, unhappy.
What they describe is that whatever they have should somehow be more.
The job is fine, but it should be bigger. The relationship is okay, but it could be better. The city is alright, but maybe the wrong one.
Everything is functional, but nothing feels like enough.
This is the generation researchers expected to follow the same happiness curve as every generation before them: happiest when young, dipping at midlife, recovering with age.
That pattern held so consistently across countries and cultures that it was almost treated as a law of human experience.
Gen Z broke it entirely. Adults aged 18 to 29 are now the unhappiest age group on record.
And the most interesting part is that they are unable to tell what is really missing.
To know what caused this feeling, what is this "something missing", and how it is impacting the world, read here: https://lnkd.in/dhpQBY2w

Your friends need your support. Hype them whenever you can. You never know what positive words might motivate them to grow.
If you're in your 20s, read this!
[1] Enjoy your own company
-Go to the park or go to jogging.
-Work in solitude.
-Spend time with yourself.
-Learn to get comfortable with silence and your inner self.
[2] Invest in learning
When you invest in learning:
-You avoid expensive mistakes.
-Learn a year's worth of knowledge in a span of a month.
[3] Consider your appearance
Exercise daily, and choose clothes that make you feel confident.
It's significant to begin taking care of yourself early on. It boosts your confidence.
[4] Travel
Begin by exploring the city, then try visiting nearby towns and eventually cover different countries.
You'll learn about culture, people and most importantly yourself.
[5] Journal it down
To write clearly is to think clearly.
Pick up a pen and write:
-What all things do you want to achieve
-What is bothering you.
-What you want to change in your life.
And you will slowly find the difference.
[6] Take risk
Start a business, and pursue a far-fetched goal.
The upside is full of possibilities. The downside is mediocrity.
[7] Build meaningful relationships
Date and spending time with someone is not a sin.
You can have a person to share your love and happiness with. All you need to know is to strike a balance between both.
[8] Read self-help books
Finishing a book gives you a hit of dopamine.
Applying the lesson you have learned from it makes all the difference. So read to implement.
[9] Find your role model
We all need someone to guide us. Be it books, friends, coaches or family members.
Having a mentor can change your life for good.
[10] Self Educate
Google is free.
YouTube is free.
Twitter is free.
The best teachers and information is available for free. So, learn and upskill yourself.
That's it. Thanks for reading.

I want to tell my 16-year-old self that thanks for not doubting yourself when teachers and society were. I am proud of you. Thanks for choosing love for storytelling over everything else.
And I want to tell my 60-year-old self, watch out, âWe are just getting started. Itâs still day 1â.
I am overwhelmed because who thought that one day a creator from a small city would come to the city of dreams, walk on a red carpet and get an award on the stage amongst the country's biggest celebrities.
This is the first for us, first for our FiguringOut army, we will get a lot more things, but the mission to help India learn better to become financially independent will always be the purpose regardless of whether we win awards or not.â€ïž
Well, If you are reading this, choose love over everything because creators are just getting started. Content creators will rule this decade. If you have ever wanted to start doing what you love or become a creator, this is it. Do it right now.
Thank you @mamaearth.in , @feminaindia , @ghazalalagh , @varunalagh . This one is super special. đđ»ââïž

âYou should have these 10 hobbiesâ
Bullsh*t.
In January every year, people get this urge to change their lives completely.
Start working out, try a new sport, get into a side hustle, so on.
Which is absolutely fair.
Humans see the new year as a new beginning.
But one thing that I see is people forcing themselves to have hobbies.
âI need something apart from work.â
âI canât just sit at home.â
âI need something interesting to talk about.â
If you genuinely like doing something, thatâs a hobby.
If it helps you reset, even better.
But if you are doing it just because âeveryone should have a hobbyâ, thatâs just you trying to fit in.
Itâs okay if work is your thing right now.
Itâs okay if your weekends are for rest.
Itâs okay if you only like one thing.
Filling every hour just to feel âproductiveâ doesnât make life better.
It just makes you more tired.
Try new stuff, yes.
But donât pressure yourself into hobbies just to look more acceptable.

âI would prefer to die poor than live poorâ, said Taapsee.
And I was surprised. Because most of us think otherwise.
To live on a budget and enjoy our old age days peacefully.
Well meet my recent guest, Taapsee Pannu.
From genuinely enjoying maths and physics,
To studying engineering,
And then becoming an actor,
Her story is nothing less than a movie itself!
In our recent podcast,
She shared that in her 2nd year of engineering,
She realized that this path would lead to a 9-5 job,
The thought of having a monotonous life and routine scared her.
She decided to try modeling,
Soon she was offered one Tamil and Telugu film at the same time.
After these movies,
She gave herself one year to see if she enjoyed doing films,
Otherwise, she would come back and do an MBA.
And the rest is history!
She did some of the most thought-provoking movies like Thappad, Pink, and Badla.
She has worked with actors like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Mr. Shah Rukh Khan,
 who are every actorâs dream co-stars.
In this episode, she talked about:
â Her decade-long relationship.
â How Shah Rukh Khan is a marketing genius.
â Why creators/ influencers canât become stars.
â How Thappad movie was more than just about a slap.
â Red flags in a relationship and in men and women individually.
This episode will keep you hooked till the end.

The President of the French Republic, H.E. Emmanuel Macron, was on Figuring Out.
It was an honour to host him.
But beyond the honour, we see this as a responsibility.
Because when someone like President Macron chooses to have a conversation with us, it becomes an opportunity to talk about India on a global stage.
What we're getting right.
Where we're struggling.
What the world needs to understand about us.
"The question is no longer whether India innovates. The question is who will innovate with India."
That's what the French President had to say about India.
The world's posture towards India has changed.
We're not the market they want to sell to anymore.
We're the partner they want to build with.
We talked about UPI, Aadhaar, and the way India leapfrogged legacy systems that other countries are still stuck with.
President Macron was surprisingly honest about where France went wrong.
A country that invented cinema, photography, and the hot air balloon and yet today, the largest tech companies in the world are either American or Chinese.
He admitted it openly. He said Europe's problem wasn't ideas, it was scale, capital, and appetite for risk. Three things. All three missing.
And then we talked about leadership. About respect. About what happens when private conversations between presidents end up on social media.
These are the kind of conversations we always hoped this platform could have.
And thanks to all of you who watch us, your belief in what we're building, your support, Figuring Out is able to host such guests.
Full episode out now. Link in the comments.

Most of you know him as a comedian, and a storyteller but today,
you will know what a beautiful human Zakir Khan is in real life.
He says,
âMost people donât know what storytelling truly is.
They think storytelling is about narrating stories
But storytelling is the art of having a conversation.â
He shares 3 ways of becoming a great storyteller:
> Read and listen to various genresÂ
> Be around and listen to people who are better than you
> And talk in front of people who have less knowledge than you.
According to him,
âWhat you spent on others, they might not remember
But they will remember how you made them feelâ
So the next time you meet someone,Â
focus on making them feel::
> Warm
> Heard
> Belonged
And you will see how they remember you for the rest of their lives.

I used to use this hack to build confidence a few years back.
Every day I would do one of these things:
â Read a new research/ news/ blog
â Listen to a new podcast
â Learn a new thing
This HACK is called Information Asymmetry.
Whenever you meet a group of people, you will have a new thing to share, which will make you a well-read and informed person.
This will help you boost your confidence every day and will slowly make you a confident person.
P.S. What is the one thing that helped you become confident? Share with me in the comments.

Suniel Shetty almost left his acting career to sell idlis at his fatherâs restaurant.
A household name, someone who defined an entire era of Bollywood, questioning if his career was over because of one critic's comment.
Instead of defending himself, he decided to actually work on his craft. He said he hadn't even taken ten days of acting class before his first film.
So he stayed in the industry and focused on getting better.
He moved on, but not everyone around him did.
There was a time when a friend made fun of him for sitting at his father's restaurant counter, but he was confident that he'd make it big one day.
That was the only time in his life he said, 'I'll be bigger than you.'
We didn't call it manifestation back then. We called it overconfidence, he told me.
He came a long way for someone who almost gave up due to criticism.
In our second episode of the "Real Advice" series with Birla Estates, we discussed his biggest weakness, how much family means to him, and how he wants to be remembered.
