PODCAST

The Karnjanaprakorn Show is a journey into living a fulfilling life across all areas. I'm known to many as the founder of Skillshare or Otis. As I approached my 40th birthday, I experienced a mid-life transition and took a year-long sabbatical. This period led me to reassess my priorities. I realized that aspects I once valued — success, status, wealth — weren't as fulfilling and were detracting from other areas of my life, such as health and relationships. This insight prompted me to explore my passions and interests beyond work, including running, philosophy, and exploring the unknown, whether in the form of new ideas, people, or experiences. I look for novel ideas and share them through this podcast so join me on this journey!
