The SeeArts Podcast #21 ππ The Power of Joy π₯³ and the Need for Belonging π€ with Radha Agrawal
03/08/21 β’ 51 min
Radha Agrawal is a shining powerhouse. After experiencing frustration with the nightlife scene, she felt the urge to bring people together and create real connections and community. Wanting to maintain all the things she loved about going out (dancing, creativity, connection) but leave the unsavory spilled drinks and bouncers behind, she launched Daybreaker, a sober early morning dance party that now has over 500K members who participate worldwide.
Radha and Fabian get to know each other during a 2015 San Francisco Daybreaker and the Giant DUNDU was a special surprise for the dancing crowd in the Bay Area. The reconnection after her book launch in Los Angeles while Fabian was performing with the Giants of Light at the World Μs Best concluded in a ecstatic dance with Baby Soleil in Radah Μs belly and the pandemic invited them to cross the big pond virtually and have DUNDU join the Digital Dance parties.
Radha shares her entrepreneurial spirit with a three step approach how to find a start-up idea and showcases powerfully why the mindset of iteration is perfection helps to get things started. With her fam of Daybreaker she organises massive online dance-outs and strives to build Joy institutes around the globe. You can experience this Joy practise with the on-demand online training D.O.S.E. (14 days for free) that helps you to connect your neurotransmitter into a vibrant cocktail.
In the conversation we covered her journey out of investment banking into becoming a experience designer and community architect, the power of rituals and the need for Belonging.
We also recommend to read her Book Belong which is a masterpiece as even before the pandemic the world has been in a state of disconnection and Belong brings powerful tools into the game to "go in to go out" and illustrates in a very visual way how we have to rethink old structures (updating the pyramid of needs)
45 minutes with the super spreader of energy just dance away and we can't wait to play together again
As if that wasnβt incredible enough, Radha is the Co-Founder of THINX period underwear which she created with her twin sister Miki Agrawal, is launching a new business, LiveItUp, and now sheβs launching her new book, Belong, about finding your people, creating meaningful community, and living a more connected life.

The SeeArts Podcast #20 ππ Celebration with a Flashback & Inspired Flashforward π
It is celebration time and time to say thank you. In this episode look back full of gratitude and reflect the inside of 19 episode with change makers, artists and entrepreneurs and guide you on the outlook what to expect.
For a lecture, that I was giving at at University about Managing and Leading in Arts & Cultural space, I reflected on the wisdom that was shared with me - the comparison & combination of the business and art hats, that we have to be switching from time to time, the inflection points that are opening these "windows of imagination" and as well the technological advances that are there to come.
For the future, I am looking forward to work on a higher frequency ( weekly) and to produced more content out of the wisdom with infographics, blog articles and sound bites.
The topics have been wide spread so far from my areas of interest and passion ranging from puppetry to workshop facilitation, agency work, storytelling all the way to the social impact.
With the in-depth series, I want to give a more profound but also diverse insight and kick-starting with the "Masters of Clowning" one area that has opened my eyes profoundly. From there on, I am super excited in the advances to technology (AR,VR,AI) but as well trends such as NFT / Crypo Art and how this provides options to create new business models as an artepreneur / entrepenartist or futartist.
Also announcing the ideas around my book "Create your own fusion" that will be accompanied with a workshop series and connecting the dots of my journey to kickstart the authorship voyage.
Once more, a big thank you to all the helping hands on the way, the listeners, the interviewees and to You.

Transcript
I think most people need things to be perfect to launch women especially. And I think, you know, my mantra is iteration is perfection, right iteration, meaning just make it incrementally better. Right? So 10%, better, 10% better, 10% better. And, and I think we get paralyzed by, by the fear of launching or the fear of starting.
