About Me (Host):
Helu Helu! My name is Sameer Taneja a.k.a Sam. I'm a 25yr young guy, trying to evolv as the world does.
Here is a quick backstory about me:
0-19 - born, brought up in Ludhiana, Punjab - growing up, school, party, fun, yada yada - honestly I don't remember much & i think it's for the best, hehe.
19-22 - went to Canada as a student, studied :)) lol, hustled, built businesses & failed a-looot but I learned to survive on my own & make money.
22 - 24 - came back to India, turns out it's better here.
Ever since I'm back I've figured my life out to a good extent, what do I like what I don't, what do I wanna in my life, yada yada - all of this by hustling hard, trying out new things, working with startups, etc
present - I've recently realised ultimately it all boils down to doing what you love & being curious & I enjoy creating content, I love taking care of my fitness, mental health, all the good things - so I do that. I freelance with startups & help them solve problems, while learning & up-skilling myself.
and that's me!

About Always Young Show:
nothing crazy the idea is to be young, dumb & curious... Sometimes it's the hardest thing to do.
basically when we grow up we get too busy or occupied in responsibilities, career, money, figuring out purpose, yada yada basically adulting, and we forget to be young, dumb & curious like we were before when we were kids.
to enjoy your life to the fullest, to do something great & meaningful, you need to go easy on yourself & just let it be.
you can’t be stressed state of mind & think of a great idea or a solution
you can’t be worried & enjoy life
being always young is a mindset, and there are really good examples in this world which I want to bring on the podcasts as guests to share their mindset, wisdom, journeys, experiences, hacks to being young, etc so that others can learn & get inspired.
