We're finally back after what feels like a very long time! It's been over a year since our first ever episode, and today we're here with Season 2.1, our attempt to salvage a rather short Season 2. Today's guest is the coolest professor you'll ever meet. He's a cyclist, wilderness explorer, TedX speaker, and all-around amazing person. Today, we welcome Prof. Ganesh Nayak from Manipal to the podcast, and in this episode, we start out by talking to him about what prompted him to start cycling. He talks about his struggles with nicotine addiction and about how he built a cycling habit to replace his smoking habit. We then talk about his adventures in the Himalayas, and he shares some truly riveting and inspiring stories. If these stories don't renew your faith in human potential, we don't know what will :p. He also takes us through his stint at the Outdoor Leadership Academy in Alaska and his current role at Manipal. It's a truly amazing story, and hopefully, it'll help each one of us take the first steps towards leading a more fulfilling life. You can connect with Prof. Ganesh on IG - @ganeshabybike
