Rohan Joshi : Comedian

Rohan Joshi, aka mojorojo, is one of India's most recognizable faces in the alternative culture space. He is best known for being a stand-up comic who co-founded the popular collective AIB. Having followed his work (and Instagram) for years, I've found him to be thoughtful, well-read and empathetic, and his interests wide-ranging. He made for an ideal guest for this show. I also owe the idea of this show to him - as will be revealed in the episode. And yes, we also discuss 

cats.

In this episode, Rohan and I discuss:

Rohan's experiences as a comedian, teacher and journalism student

Having a "finite well of energy" and maximising itStarting the day on a great note, with a simple hack

The importance of structure in life

Dealing with the fame that came with the astronomical rise of AIB

Allowing yourself the luxury of letting your mind wander

Realistic goals and enjoying the ride

Several, several recommendations.
