“What’s Your Plus?” — Writing, Filmmaking & Finding Purpose with Vihan Khanna - E52

On this episode of OATS UNCUT!, host and communication coach Vineeta Khanna sits down with a guest who’s not just close to her heart, but also full of thoughtful reflections and remarkable achievements — her son, Vihan Khanna.

They talk about Vihan’s journey as the author of What’s Your Plus?, a book he wrote in his early 20s that encourages young people to discover their unique edge, especially during their college years. The conversation flows from the influence of Robert Frost’s famous poem to journaling for mental health, the reality of writing in the age of AI, and why patience might just be the secret ingredient to finishing that book you’ve been thinking about.

But there’s more — Vihan also shares the story of founding the Visionaries Film Festival, now in its 7th year, created to champion emerging and amateur filmmakers. He opens up about what it means to create something from the ground up, the grit behind the glamour, and the joy of giving others a platform to shine.

This is a conversation rooted in authenticity, reflection, and growth — exactly what OATS UNCUT! is all about. When we create space for open, unfiltered storytelling, we empower not only the speaker, but also the listener. That’s the power of communication — it connects, uplifts, and reminds us we’re not alone on our journeys.
