Pranav Panpalia, the founder of Opraah, now extended to Opraah Gaming too, is on Stories with Rusty for the second time, It is clear that the man has stories to tell and interesting insights to add. #influencermanagement #talentmanagement #storieswithrusty#vedantrusty #F1 If you don’t know, he runs a talent management agency in India, and he manages @Slayy Point , @Mythpat , @Techno Gamerz and over 40 other creators who are making big in the space. Managing online influencers is all fun and games till you actually hear this conversation and know what challenges are there in the space. When talked to him about brands collaborating with influencers, he gave a very unique perspective of how brands matter in the space and what creators are doing for themselves is what will make them relevant beyond money and fame. The influencer management tool is not getting brands to collaborate with but actually, doing good for creators. There is no talent management strategy, there are talent management ideas. Apart from that, if you have seen Pranav’s YouTube channel, you would have been tempted to search “fastest car in India under 20 lakhs”. Yes, he loves cars and we can see that from his social media. We have also talked about cars and how he maintains them. We briefly spoke about his future plans and his billion dollar dream. Listening to this conversation will make you want to make a million dollars from nothing and I get it. It is inspiring, insightful and interesting all at the same time. Want more of it?

Siddharth Chankya, an independent filmmaker from Indore dives into some really insightful conversation about filmmaking in India. #storieswithrusty #filmmaking #indianfilmindustry #independentartist #podcast Watch the trailer of Siddharth’s film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDxn9o50gR0&t=5s Starting from his early career as a dancer to discovering his interest in theatre, he walks us through how he got into filmmaking. He also talks about why he chose to stay in Indore and make films there instead of moving to Bombay, the city of dreams and luck. He gives us a very detailed insight into Nepotism in Bollywood and how he chose the path of being an independent filmmaker. He talks about the importance of networking and building connections and trust among people so they are ready to help you. He tells us his jugaad of arranging locations, actors and taking his films to Indian Film Festivals where Imtiaz Ali appreciated his work. He then walks us through the whole process of making Niyati Chakra (his new film). He starts by talking about writing film scripts, then arranging locations, visualizing, casting, production, post-production, challenges in rendering, and learning VFX. He says it took him 3 years to make a film like that and he wishes to make only 10-15 in his career. We also talk about the challenges of independent filmmaking, the patience, and passion it requires. We talk some more about deciding genres and analyze consumer behavior. It is all in all a very insightful conversation for someone who wants to get into the film industry and if you are in film school and found it helpful, make sure to share it with other people in your circle because I believe this is gold for people who are in the industry. __ In This Episode 0:00 // introduction to sid film production, 3:29 // filmmaking and theatre in the 2010s 7:30 // nepotism and hierarchies in the industry 8:34 // sid on deciding he wants to do filmmaking 9:45 // starting to make films 13:40 // influence and support behind making films 18:34 // the making of the film 20:00 // writing the film 26:27 // background preparation 29:55 // sid’s team 30:56 // completion of the script 31:55 // production of the film 34:04 // music of the film 34:39 // scheduling the film 34:56 // casting 36:34 // shooting 38:27 // post-production 43:41 // networking 44:33 // licensing the film 44:49 // distributing the film 48:38 // patience and passion 50:57 // what’s next? 52:53 // making films for OTT platforms 56:51 // the future of sid in filmmaking 57:47 // struggling and establishing genres 1:01:01 // consumer behavior in watching content/films 1:04:10 // creating stuff you love 1:06:21 // consumer behavior and creating a brand 1:07:11// logging off/random __ Follow Stories With Rusty

Rohit Raj, Entrepreneur, Producer, Manager, and Friend (as per his Instagram Bio; experienced and agreed) works with Bhuvan Bam very closely. You might also have heard “Rohit Raj BB ki Vines” somewhere if you follow Bhuvan Bam. #StorieswithRusty #RohitRaj #BBKiVines #CreatorEconomy #Producers We had a very insightful conversation about the space of creating content and being on such a big platform that your own channel can be known as a “platform” in itself. We discuss about the creator economy India and how it is growing or rather will grow in the future. We also come up with a new term called “Enabler Economy” which you will see in the episode. Apart from that, The ups and downs of experimenting, executing and launching the shows, music videos, and sketches. We also talk about how Bhuvan Bam worked with brands ethically and maintained his credibility and stayed true to his audience. Bhuvan Bam net worth is a big question on the internet but Rohit Raj also talks about how nobody in his close circle cares about making money as much as creating because money is always in the picture in long run. We also talk about the competition in the space and how all the creators like to call themselves Creator Partners rather than competitors. I think one of the things that stand out about Rohit is that he is an extremely loyal and trustworthy guy and building trust in the workplace is one of the most important and rather difficult tasks to do. __ In this Episode: 0:00 // Introduction, random chit chat 3:43 // What is the motivation of creators 6:59 // What happens when you are 27 11:10 // How is Rohit linked to Meerut? 12:45 // How Rusty met Rohit? 13:33 // How does Rohit manage his office? 18:13 // Rohit’s Work Ethics 22:56 // How content is changing 28:36 // How brands have changed since 2016 34:48 // Bhuvan’s Brand Integrations 54:33 // The Journey of Managing Forms of Content 1:03:03 // The Process of Producing Dhindora 1:11:05 // The Learning Process 1:13:28 // Advertisements on Traditional Media 1:19:07 // Helping other Creators 1:20:55 // The Bigger Achievements of Creating Content 1:23:50 // Independent Creators and Numbers 1:26:55// What’s Next for Bhuvan 1:27:26 // How will Bhuvan Continue Creating Content 1:28:27 // Enabler Economy 1:36:08 // Itna Paisa 1:38:05 // Life after and before Marriage 1:39:03 // What does Rohit do when he is free? 1:39:49 // Does work get intimidating? 1:41:26 // The Brighter Side of Working Want more of it?

Kshitij, the founder of Devsnest, is a very interesting and inspirational person to talk to. Having been an employee of well-known corporates like Samsung, PayTM and Amazon, Kshtij recognized some loopholes and problems in the system of education, especially for Engineers. If you want to be a part of this group or want mentorship for that matter, go here- Checkout Devsnest: https://devsnest.in/ Devsnest course launch date: 1st Feb 2022 Devsnest Discord Community on: https://devsnest.in/discord #StorieswithRusty #EngineerProblems #Devsnest #DiscordCommunities The social and academic stigma that produces inefficient Engineers in India is real and needed attention so Kshitij founded Devsnest. It is basically a peer learning platform backed up by very strong guidance from the core of the program. Having talked to him for an hour convinced me that this initiative is not a business but a try to make an impact. Engineering Student Problems are talked about but never acted upon. It is sad and tragic for the students when they are exposed to the world outside their college and that is exactly what we talk about in the podcast. Best Edtech companies in India do not solve the basic problems like making sure the students are consistent and are learning through interaction because that is the best way of growing and learning. Devsnest is a particular initiative for Software Engineers in India who want to upskill themselves. They build learning communities on discord that help the students to interact, make friends and be in surrounding that is nurturing and motivating. Want more of it?

Somesh or also known as @camerawalebhaiya is one of the most humble people I have had a conversation with. Having been at a very young age, as clueless as we all can be, Somesh is one of the people who had the guts to explore, go in the field, get the practical experience and make it happen even with a lot of challenges- be it physically or financially. #storieswithrusty #camerawalebhaiya #photography #podcast Camera wale Bhaiya is the perfect example of starting off as being the “photography for beginners” and being the one people ask “photographer kaise bane”. In this podcast, he explains the struggle he has gone through and believes is the struggle of artists, he also shares his perspective on growth mindset and what he follows personally. One of the craziest stories he shares is how he traveled on a budget.

We talk about the impact of lockdown on comedians, hosting online comedy shows and how different it is to perform standup comedy live vs comedy online. We talk about creativity and finding a voice and explore the mind of a comedian. He also shares a few stories of his zoom show stand-up and how you can never have that vibe with them because of the lag and sometimes even lack of attention. He further goes on to say that reaction and instant gratification is a very important part of Stand Up Comedy and Stand Up Comedy Reactions are something that gives them feedback to do better. We also get a gist of how it is like to hang out with the first wave of comedians in India who are also known as og comedians in today’s age. Shah also says that he watches a lot of content and further gives really good recommendations of Absurd Comedy Movies. Apart from that, we talk about stream fuckups, viral trends, growth, pressure, and keeping with reels. We talk about the insecurities of being on the internet and how you are replaceable.

Neel Gogia is a Co-Founder of iplix Media, a talent management agency managing some of the finest clients and creators in India. This conversation gives a lot of insights into the Influencer Marketing Industry and how it is so important to differentiate your Influencer Marketing Agency from others’. Neel talks about how it is important to give the brand the quality it deserves and manage 4-5 brands that sustain with you than to have a rolling set of brands that just do 2-3 campaigns and move on with the next agency. This helps you to sustain clients and boosts your aim for managing brands for the long run. #storieswithrusty #influencermarketing #talentmanagement #tipsforcontentcreators #podcast He also talks about how building a strong Influencer Marketing Strategy is a major part of the job. It may come from observing people online and providing them what is lacking. He shares one of his incidents with Audi and how they ended up dragging that pitch for 17 months before closing the client. Apart from that, it is also a “tips for content creators” podcast. Neel also gives a perspective on how it is important for creators to start their own businesses if they want to capitalize on content for the long term. A good place to start thinking for content creators’ business ideas if you haven’t already. We also talk about the importance of sustaining as content creators than blowing up and becoming irrelevant as faster. Neel also shares his experience with influencers and what they need from the commercial point of view at the moment. Neel shares his daily routine and his new business ideas too. An insightful conversation into an entrepreneur’s mind.

Less a podcast, more a conference call with two English Literature enthusiasts, vibing over Shakespeare, Theatre, The Beauty of Teaching, and The Essence of Keeping Learning. Krshna has done her Undergrad in English Literature from St. Xavier’s, Ahemdabad. Then she went ahead to do her Masters from the University of Nottingham. From there, she started her course of “Masters in Shakspearean Studies” at Kings College, London. #teachingenglish #bookworm #storieswithrusty Krshna is a fun, insightful, and very interactive person to talk with. I honestly haven’t had a conversation so deep about English Literature since a really long time. Her passion for stories, literature, and everything that it has to offer is worth experiencing. We, as fellow Book Worms, talk about plays (a lot of Shakespeare), a little bit about Russian literature, and classical literature in bits. Krishna brings her insights about her Shakespearean studies and we discuss the best of Shakespeare, be it the Bollywood adaptations or Hollywood Shakespeare Movies. As CBSE and ICSE students, we explore the academic literature in both the boards and how they are so different from each other. We also discuss how today’s generation perceives literature in a very different way and form than what we did 5 years ago. We talk about the challenges that come with teaching English literature to high school students. We also chew over the fact that English teachers are remembered very fondly because they teach life while everyone teaches facts. My interest in teaching literature is slowly starting to come back and with this podcast going live. We also walk through the theatre part of learning literature and share our stories of acting and directing plays. We also have our advice on how to start reading and how reading is important to develop empathy. It was basically a really fun conversation. Consider it a conference call with two literature enthusiasts being excited about the similar interests they share. It is a very insightful yet light conversation so maybe grab a snack and dive into a conversation with us.

In this episode with @Vinamre (also @Shaatir ), who happens to be the host of Dostcast, a writer and a fellow YouTuber, sits down in the pajamas to discuss everything from lizards to mythological stories and Indian History. This is an easy conversation you can listen to when you are craving some real talk. We talk about the topics of sales and marketing strategies that were used in the past. How nostalgia marketing will always work and the other side of the topic. We speak about content consumption and how it is important to be aware of what we consume. Because we become what we consume. On a lighter note, we hear some interesting stories from Vinamre’s life. Be it his caffeinated interview story or a drunk Clubhouse story, it’s always fun to experience something real (and funny). #storieswithrusty #podcast #hindipodcast Being the readers and writers in common, we talk about the poetry culture on the internet and cliche books that have disappointed us in the past. We also talk about some interesting reads and how sometimes giving out quantity is more important than quality. Another thing common between us is Delhi, and we vibe over it. Be it its tourist places, its people, nightlife in Delhi, or the reopening of clubs and restaurants. We also talk about lizards, saste n@she, the future of podcasting, podcast setup, content creation on social media, and the challenges and pressures that come with it.
