Brewed stories 

What makes us unique?

Stories!

Stories are the only distinctive feature of every human being. Whatever, we aspire we become but we all will have different routes to achieve it. In the very first episode of Brewed Stories, I share my story with Neha.

Neha Upalekar is one in 7,8 Billion people to create content on failure. She is the Chief Purpose Officer at Team Personna and an amazing human at heart.

What is Happiness?

It is very hard to formally define happiness, but we know it when we feel it. The feeling of contentment, gratitude, joy and pride. However, in the current environment being happy has been very difficult. Happiness on the other end is the most undervalued feeling which we run after all the pleasures that makes us look good on our gram.

In this episode, we try to decode happiness. However, this is not the ultimate guide to being happy but an attempt towards feeling happy.

Being in your 20s could be very daunting at sometime when there are a million and a half expectations put on you. We are all in the race to find the perfect key to success. If you don't know what you have to do by the time you're 25, you're irresponsible Is this pressure put on by the society (maybe through social media) or is it you putting it on yourself?

PS: We are as clueless as you are, but this was a small attempt to confront this topic and talk about it.

The cultivation of specialty coffee is essentially different from that of commercial coffee. Why is this shift originating? As consumers are we asking for much better quality beans or have we been more conscious about our decisions. There is a huge shift in the consumers perspective.

This is one of the most inspiring episodes I have ever produced. There’s something special about Dhan’s journey that makes him my role model. He started his coffee journey 16 years before. Originally he is from Nepal, moved to Kuwait where he learned many things about coffee before moving to the UK in 2010.

From this episode, I learned in order to achieve anything you’ll have to be persistent, consistent, manifest your dreams & work towards it. Check out the whole episode and let us know what you think. Feel free to tag us at adhibrews & dhantamang1.

As per research, 92% of our coffee is just water. While many of us try to perfect many other parameters to make our coffee taste good, we just forget to put importance on water, which is the main constituent of coffee.

If you've ever tried to build a community, you know that it's hard. There are so many people out there hoping to get your attention and convince you to join their cause. But what if you could do it differently? What if there was a way to build a thriving community that solves a particular purpose, and feels engaging?

Today on the podcast, we speak with Shubham on how he's building a coffee-led community at Somethings Brewing.

I have had a lot of interesting conversations about life's most difficult questions with my friends. Initially, when I started this podcast, I limited it to just coffee information. But somewhere I feel, I need to put out such conversations on record and let you'll know what we usually talk.

This is just the first of the many episodes I will be doing with my friends. In this episode, we speak about Overthinking, Decision Fatigue & Being Vulnerable.

There are very few people with whom you can talk deep shit about life. Be it comparison, spirituality, yoga, meditation, social media, ego, jealousy or anything else, I think we have talked about most things (over a cup of coffee). 

When I started this podcast, I always wanted to speak with people with different life approaches than mine. This particular episode is just the starting point for some of the topics we talk about in our offline world. 

In this episode, you’ll hear how my first impression of this person was different from what it is now. Does she crave fame? Has she ever compared herself to others, and how is yoga helping to overcome it? & many other things. 

This is just the first of the many episodes that I intend to record with this human. If you listen to this, ask her a question in the comments.
