👨🏫 I love having deep, far-ranging conversations with people of all ages and backgrounds, and the recent Proof Of Work Podcast episode with Abhishek was no exception. As the class topper for my crypto entrepreneurship class at Master's Union, I knew he would bring thoughtful perspectives on complex topics.
💻 Throughout our discussion, I was struck by Abhishek's intellectual honesty, nuance, and willingness to engage with hard truths. We explored issues like corporate governance challenges in India, problems with the crypto industry, and the promise of emerging tech like brain-computer interfaces.
🔬 He critiqued problems frankly while retaining optimism and pragmatism. Abhishek embodies the open, curiosity-driven mindset required for compounding small improvements daily. Yet he balances this with the wisdom to discern hype from substance - a rare trait today.
🔎 I immensely enjoyed exploring the landscape of science, technology, and human values with Abhishek.
🌎 Abhishek represents the best of the emerging generation of high-agency individuals globally, taking responsibility to move humanity forward.
🎓 This episode is a must-listen, especially for all current and prospective business school students.
