On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What drives someone in their mid-50s to leave everything behind—friends, family, and familiarity—for a fresh start across the globe? Meet Sid Banerjee, who did exactly that when he uprooted his life in India to take on a CEO role in New York.
In this deeply human episode, Sid opens up to host Jeremy Swick about navigating culture shock, building a business from scratch, and surviving the emotional toll of isolation while leading through industry disruption. His secret weapon? Emotional grit—and a long-awaited family reunion that changed everything.
You’ll discover the surprising link between cricket and boardroom leadership, the hard truth about what AI can’t fix, and why every major leap requires a hidden anchor. If you're standing at a crossroads—or just feeling the weight of going it alone—Sid’s story will challenge you to rethink what's possible, and why timing might just be your greatest asset. This isn’t just a conversation about business—it’s a roadmap to personal reinvention.
