Chetan Goel joins The Human Thread for a candid and eye-opening conversation about the emotional reality behind influencer life. Beyond the humour and the online persona, he shares what it feels like to live under constant visibility, the pressure to always perform and the weight of being defined by numbers, algorithms and expectation.
This episode explores the inner world of a creator: the burnout that builds quietly, the fear of fading relevance, the split between the public identity and the private self and the mental load that never switches off. Chetan opens up about frustration, self-doubt, the struggle to disconnect and the emotional toll that comes with trying to remain consistent in an industry that never slows down.
It is a conversation about ambition, identity and the cost of turning life into content. For anyone who has felt overwhelmed by expectations or afraid to pause, this episode offers clarity, honesty and a deeper understanding of the pressures that remain unseen behind the screen.
