And we're back - fresh from the holidays, spent with family and friends! In our 1st episode of 2022, we talk about how our families challenged themselves during the holiday by pursuing different activities away from devices and nurtured our relationships.

Deviating a little from our usual discussions about parenting, we decided to bring in our team and put them in the limelight. We talk about creating a vision and realising it with the right set of people. Pssst, we also show you the personal side of everyone!

We always encouraged our students to dream big. But we questioned ourselves: Were we taking moonshots ourselves? Were we resilient, adaptable, and open to change? Would we falter the minute things got hard?   Here's us turning the spotlight on ourselves.  We talk about our challenges through the pandemic, in our trademark candid style.
