[00:00:01] What better way to get to know our guests here on the Taking Chances podcast than a round of snappy and energizing quick takes
[00:00:08] on what they take is on just about anything and everything. And before we get started, just a reminder to not miss out on hearing the main episode as well. So here we go. So the first one is a quote that inspires you.
[00:00:21] So the pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sales. Brilliant. You know, you've spoken about your music, but then what's number two on your bucket list as far as your hobbies go?
[00:00:35] I'm actually very, very passionate about yoga. I'm a born yogi, right in that sense. So it's just one of those mind-body connections that I feel is very, very powerful. So I think apart from just music, I'm definitely turning to yoga. The last app that you downloaded?
[00:00:52] It's called Day One.
[00:00:53] So Day One is everyone's talking about journaling. And I find this extremely powerful because Day One is an app where you can journal things on a daily basis, but you can use a hashtag strategy so that when you want to reflect back on your notes, you just kind of put that hashtag that you've used or the tag that you've used and all the notes pertaining to that will kind of pop up, right?
[00:01:15] So it's a great way to journal, put in your thoughts and organize them as opposed to really handwriting. Though I'm a big fan of writing also in the handwritten form, but I find this app particularly useful because when you want to retrieve information, especially if you journal for like 365 days,
[00:01:32] doing it through a notebook is absolutely impossible. So I'm slow graduating to this one.
[00:01:38] So Pajit, we've spoken so much about moms, right? Mommie network and what you've been doing for single mothers or working mothers and so on. And they've taught you a lot of stuff. But what is the one thing that babies have taught you which has helped you in your business?
[00:01:52] So the one thing that babies have taught me is really to express their needs so simply and as it is, right? There is absolutely no layers in pressing their needs or desires. And I think if we can just continue to be like them, life would be so simple.
[00:02:05] And the last quick take from you, what is a big no-no for you at workplace?
[00:02:10] Politicking. It's an absolute no-no, right? For us at All Things Baby, we really thrive on the culture that we've built. So we have a zero tolerance actually for any office politics because we operate like a family and that has been the base of the success of the organization.
[00:02:29] So beyond a point, if there is any of those manipulative, politicking signals, we just have zero tolerance.
