What Does not Kill You, Makes you Stronger - Courage Talks S15E6

🎙️ 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗦𝟭𝟱𝗘𝟲 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘! Featuring 𝗡𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵i Nistha is the bestselling author of No Shortcuts (3rd best business book of the year 2019), Unstartup, Futurepreneurs and Seven Conversations, founder of Scholar Strategy and 24NorthStar. A LinkedIn Top Voice and someone who has repeatedly chosen the harder, less conventional path.From a small-town girl who left India on a scholarship to study Computer Science at UIUC, to landing a six-figure Wall Street role. Then, she shocked people by dropping out of her NYU Stern MBA after securing two full-time offers, working with early Manhattan startups, organising NYU’s first Entrepreneurship Summit (with Seth Godin as a speaker), and then quitting her entire US life at 30 to return to India and start from scratch. She built Scholar Strategy into a purpose-driven platform that has guided 1,500+ students into places like MIT, Harvard, Stanford, CMU and FAANG roles, without ever taking university commissions. She later launched 24NorthStar while pregnant, because she wanted Indian families to choose careers more mindfully. Along the way she lived and worked as a digital nomad across Bali, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and Auroville, designing a life that let her work six months a year and create the rest of the time. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱: • Walking away from the “perfect” Wall Street + MBA script • Rebuilding life and business in India with zero safety net • Navigating miscarriage, a complicated pregnancy, and becoming a mother at 40 • Building two education platforms with radical integrity • Figuring life out through relationships, nomadic years, and unconventional choices • What it really means to keep creating while chasing a toddler and still choosing meaning over the conventional definition of success. This is a deep, honest, and deeply human conversation about the courage it takes to leave the script, rebuild on your own terms, and keep showing up even when the timeline looks nothing like what society expects.
