The Other Stuff with internetVin Satish Kanwar: Made in Scarborough | The Other Stuff #27
Satish Kanwar (@skanwar) is an entrepreneur, a geek, and a friend.
In this episode, we explore what it means to come up in Scarborough, build something from nothing, experience a life changing exit, and still hold onto your original intentions. Along the way, we get into community as a force multiplier, how scenes form, how identify shifts under success, why culture needs new stories to move forward, and we did a saag taste test from some joints across the Greater Toronto Area. It's a conversation about ambition, memory, and the pressure of becoming who you hoped you'd be.
The Other Stuff is hosted by internetVin, filmmaker and entrepreneur and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.
