In this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I sit down with the one and only Vaibhav Nahata, a.k.a. “Happy” (www.speakervideos.com)—a joy-fueled video marketing pro, teen speaker, and TV show producer from Nepal who has turned discomfort into his superpower.
Once the bullied kid at school, now a bold entrepreneur interviewing CEOs and inspiring youth around the world, Happy’s story is a wild ride of risk, resilience, and saying “yes” even when you have no clue what you’re doing. (Sound familiar?)
We’re talking about:
🚀 How being uncomfortable is a secret weapon for growth
📺 What pitching a TV show with zero experience can teach you about courage
🌍 And why joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a strategy
Happy didn’t climb a ladder—he built his own out of grit, guts, and a whole lot of curiosity. If you’ve been playing it safe, this conversation might just be the nudge you need to shake things up, try something new, and lead with a little more spark.
3 Takeaways You’ll Love:
💥 Discomfort isn’t the enemy—it’s the entry point to confidence
🛠️ You don’t need to be “ready” to take the next step
🌈 Joy is fuel—build it into your leadership style

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
