  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Damn Good Podcast! For season 4 (of which we don't know how many episodes we will do), we have dropped the 'Marketing' to better reflect the fact that Subha and I are both human and are therefore prone to change. We're talking culture, and being two unknowns in the world of creatorship. Hasita Krishna is a brand strategist and the founder of Motley Crew, a writer, a climate action advocate, and a SCUBA diver. Find her on Instagram @hasita.krishna Subha C is the founder of RainKraft, a career growth coach, and a podcast host. She's on LinkedIn @Subha Chandrasekaran. © 2024 The Damn Good Podcast. We know this is the era of deepfakes and remasters and whatnot. We also don't presume we are that famous. If you'd like to share our content for commercial gain (that's funny), please contact us first. Otherwise, feel free to share away. Any Instagram reel produced from this podcast will be considered to have been taken out of context unless otherwise specified. By us.

  • The Damn Good Podcast S01:E02: The stories that shape our choices, our lives, and our generation
    Mar 20 2024

    One only needs to be on LinkedIn to see one story coach or another promote a certain way of doing it. In rebirthing this podcast into its current avatar, the one thing that always existed was doubt.

    Not the spark- that one comes and goes. Not the premise- it is as wide as it can be. Not even the persona- who are we speaking to you as? That keeps changing too. But the one thing that's always constant is doubt.

    What do we say to you? What do we tell it like, so it means something? Today's conversation on #nasa #netflix and #applevisionpro goes BTS on what makes us inspired, what makes us teary, and what makes us buy what we do.

    What did you think of this episode?

    P.S. With each episode, we have gone for incremental improvements with each video podcast we make. For this one, we could’ve gone for the more cosmetic upgrades but we felt it was much more necessary to clean up the flow, and edit creatively. And a big shoutout to our video editor Ayush, for being patient, for working with us through this.

    If you stick around to the very end, you’ll see he also has a great sense of humour!

  • The Damn Good Podcast S01E01: New Beginnings As A Culture Podcast
    Feb 28 2024

    Hi!

    Have you noticed, also, that the ‘marketing’ seems to have quietly left The Damn Good Podcast?

    We’ve been on a long and rather quiet hiatus from producing anything. And when the time finally came to put this out, we didn’t know what would be the right way to do it.

    Minus the production budget of a series, and frankly even the editorial oversight, how we do we launch a new thing?

    By being messy about it, perhaps.

    In that spirit, we are glad to bring you The Damn Good Podcast- a pretty accurate representation of the fact that people evolve, and we are no exception.

    I now often spend my weekends underwater as a conservation diver-in-training, cleaning coral with great gusto and encouraging the fish to reproduce. Yep. That’s my path and I think I’ve dived right in.

    But that doesn’t mean I no longer do marketing consulting. I am still that person and I also happen to love that particular job.

    Maybe the culmination of all of these is what we call ‘culture’- the slow, complex, usually painful evolution of a human being.

    But that’s enough pondering from me. For now.

    So, what can you expect from this ‘new and improved’ podcast?

    * A video version. Having personally enjoyed video conversation way more than I’d have thought, I think it is time to be brave about facing the camera.

    * Conversations on far-reaching topics: from ordinary city lives to what it means to be human today, expect everything, from two non-celebrity working women navigating life and work, much like you are too.

    * Lots of fun! Subha and I have always wondered what it might be like to open up our coffee table conversation- and we welcome you to join us.

    Now, that’s all I’ll say. Tune in, and let me know what you think? It does mean a lot to me.
