On The Go With Manav Hartono

Send us Fan Mail Episode 50. This is a number I waited for three and a half years to reach. When I started my podcast, I wasn’t sure if I’d get here as 50 episodes seemed ambitious. Three months after I launched my podcast in April 2023, I burnt out and stepped away to prioritise my mental health. Nine months later, in March 2024, I restarted with more clarity, discipline and purpose. I haven’t stopped since. This milestone episode dives into the journey behind the screen: my growth, my setbacks, my lessons, and the personal and professional shifts that shaped the last three and a half years. Releasing episode 50 the same week as my birthday makes this milestone even more meaningful … and here we are.
