Creative Experimentalist

By Shreya Badonia

In this podcast, we cover stories of creative individuals who followed their curiosity and took the road less travel. Their story will not be like yours and but will help you find yours

A self-help book is written for millions of people. Would it address your specific problem? Creative Experimentalist is a community of people who are empiricists and those who believe in using methods based on what is experienced or seen rather than on theory.
Life is a journey of self-discovery. You’ll have to find your way out of it. People can help you, support you, but they can’t take those steps for you

#43 Why 20s Are The Most Difficult Decade of Our Lives | Going through Quarter Life Crisis?

If you’re in your 20s, you need to know this is a pivotal time of your life; it is the foundation on which you build your life. Listen to this episode to know more.
