ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Nikhil Pandey (Captain Sinbad) is a productivity/self-help YouTuber who recently left his corporate job after his videos started doubling his normal salary, and after he bought his own house. But it wasn't a simple stroll in the park. Nikhil started off pursuing acting in Los Angeles, but after realizing he couldn't sustain the journey, he got a normal career while still creating videos in his own time at around midnight.
Nikhil has a humbling start to his career by simply starting off with his iPhone to create videos until he reached 1k subscribers, and saving up enough to buy an actual camera.
In this episode, Nikhil dives deep into the darker moments he had to go through to reach the success he currently has, the disempowering relationship with his parents, and the lessons he's learned along the way.
