What does it mean to grow — as a person, as a nation, and as a world? In this flagship episode of Roots and Wings, host Siva Bala Narayanan shares his personal journey across continents and cultures, and makes the case for why India@2047 isn’t just a government plan — it’s a personal invitation.

Through reflections on identity, growth, and responsibility, we explore:

  • What true growth means beyond GDP and job titles
  • The defeatist voices that hold India back — and how to challenge them
  • Ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, including the Ashvattha tree metaphor
  • The transformative concepts of Swadharma (your path) and Superpower (your unique gift)
  • Why mindset change is the essential first step before discovery or action
  • And how ordinary individuals — including homemakers, students, elders, and entrepreneurs — can shape India’s future

Whether you’re based in Mumbai, Manchester or Minnesota, this episode is your invitation to reflect, rediscover, and grow — with both roots and wings.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
