Hi, I'm Krutika and this is my podcast Journeys with Krutika. Today's conversation is with my wonderful brother, Jigar Thanki.
I may be a bit biased - after all, I’ve known him his whole life - but trust me when I say he’s one of the kindest, most inspiring, and knowledgeable people I’ve ever met.
Whenever I face a challenge, whether personal or professional, he’s the person I turn to for wisdom and perspective. In this episode, we dive into his journey of writing his first book, Mental Models: What I’d Tell You in 3 Hours, a project inspired in part by becoming a father.
He shares the models, principles, and influences that have guided him, and we explore how becoming a dad has realigned his "north star." There’s so much to take away from this conversation, from his thoughtful insights to his humility and brilliant mind.
Above all, his story is a powerful reminder of the importance of service and creating value for others.
