Dr. Sasha Haddad joins us on this week's episode of Inside Thoughts Out Loud. As the creator behind the massively popular "Once Upon a Doctor" pages, Sasha discusses her journey of stepping onto TikTok during medical school and building a supportive community of over 3 million followers. We dive into the realities of content creation, navigating the pressures of cancel culture, and why she refuses to stay silent on controversial global topics despite the potential backlash. Sasha also shares her strong take on the modern "trad wife" trend, emphasizing exactly why women must prioritize their education, autonomy, and financial independence to protect themselves. Beyond her social media success, we discuss the intense physical toll of practicing medicine and her goal to eventually build a career that extends beyond her physical presence. Sasha opens up about balancing her identity as a physician with her personal passions, proving that doctors don't have to be perfect robots to deeply connect with their patients.Chapters:00:00 - Episode Preview01:00 - Welcome Dr. Sasha Haddad02:18 - Starting "Once Upon a Doctor" during the pandemic06:22 - The first viral TikTok video10:27 - The problem with virality and shifting content niches13:48 - Speaking out on controversial topics & cancel culture22:25 - Breaking down the social media "Trad Wife" trend26:01 - The unpaid value of stay-at-home moms vs. female autonomy31:55 - What is next for Dr. Sasha Haddad?34:27 - Why doctors shouldn't be expected to be perfect robots
Casey Sarai joins us on this week's episode of Inside Thoughts Out Loud. As the co-founder of the viral brand CAKES Body, Casey shares the incredible four-year journey of building a $100 million net worth company by simply solving a widespread problem for women. We dive into the reality of building a business from scratch, leveraging organic TikTok growth, and navigating the pressures of Shark Tank to secure a strategic partnership with Emma Grede. Casey also details why CAKES took a firm and vocal stand for true body inclusivity following a controversial fashion week moment with Sports Illustrated. Beyond the viral success, we discuss the personal side of entrepreneurship. Casey opens up about the unique dynamics of running a massive brand alongside her family, supporting her team with progressive childcare initiatives, and what is coming next for the company's expansion.
This episode is truly unique for Inside Thoughts. I sit down with @the.mind.revolutionary, the internet’s favorite sage, to have a deeper conversation about all things controversial. Should Brahmanism be abolished? Is religion killing society? What’s the difference between religion and spirituality? Why are billionaires greedy? Dr. Rajeev lends us his insight and may change the way you fundamentally think about these topics.
In this episode of Inside Thoughts Out Loud, I sit down with Michelle Ranavat to dissect who should be an entrepreneur, when it’s worth betting on yourself, and what you really need to get started. Each of us is in a different phase of our brand founder journey, with Ranavat in massive retailers such as Sephora and Avara still in its infancy. Despite similar backgrounds, where we differ makes this episode particularly interesting.
Monica Ravi sits down with Dhivya to give her no BS take on Beauty and Social Media. She holds nothing back while exposing brand partnerships that were a hard pass, brands that fail to get it right, and those we shouldn't overlook. Monica, who has a background in Engineering and Computer Science, also shares her insights on the future of Beauty Tech and AI.
Dhivya and Trishala Dutt (daughter of famed actor Sanjay Dutt) sit down for a candid and raw conversation about growing up under scrutiny and growing away from toxicity. Trishala was an open book in answering questions about her childhood, her mother’s death, the role her father has played and continues to play in her life, and what independence looks like on her terms. From being fat shamed as a child to chronically misunderstood in adulthood, Trishala has channeled her childhood struggles into motivation. She’s now a successful therapist in New York City who strives to create a safe space for those who need it most. Join us in hearing Trishala’s inside thoughts out loud.
Being a beauty brand founder is hard enough, being an eco-conscious, science-led, consumer-protecting founder is even harder. That puts Charlotte Palermino in another stratosphere. Brand founders are often told to stay out of controversy and take advantage of viral marketing trends. Charlotte and I discuss exactly what it means to ignore that advice, and why we think today's consumer is smarter than people give them credit for. This candid conversation holds nothing back because controversy is just a cover for consumer literacy. Let's talk what clean beauty actually means, why corporate America lies to our kids about planetary pollution, and what the future holds for the beauty consumer.
Chai and Humanity … and standing on business. This week Dhivya sits down with the founders of Kolkata Chai, Ani and Ayan Sanyal, who have built an 8 figure business centered on culture with authentic chai. The conversation flows from the global appeal of niche culture, betting on yourself, the immigrant mentality, and the power of third culture kids. Of course, we talk a little politics too.
