Episode 2.08: From Desk to Stage, with Comedian Anish Mitra

What does it feel like to pivot mid-career? To leave a stable job in pursuit of happiness and passion? How do you manage the expectations you have for yourself, and what does success then start to look like? It can be difficult to take control of your own future in spite of what you expected or were conditioned to believe your future would look like. In this episode Anish (@mitranyc) discusses his decision to leave Goldman Sachs for comedy, and how it affected his mental health. He tells us what it's like to have to start from scratch, and the importance of learning to trust yourself in a mental hurricane.

Anish serves on the board of Sapna NYC and produces The Surprise Show where he's worked with Jim Gaffigan, Hasan Minhaj and Nikki Glaser.
