A Sophisticated Podcast

In this exciting instalment of ASP, join us as we delve into the world of finance, fashion, and the future of traditional handmade garments. Your hosts, usually a trio but this time a dynamic duo, are back to bring you an engaging discussion. In this episode, we have a special guest gracing the virtual studio - Aashumi Mody. Aashumi's journey is nothing short of inspiring: having spent a decade in the finance world, she made a daring shift in 2022 to become the CEO and founder of Aayka Fashion, a prominent South Asian fashion brand. With Aashumi based in New York and her cousin in Mumbai, their cross-continental collaboration adds a unique flavour to their brand's identity. We'll explore the challenges and triumphs she's encountered on her path to success. Thank you for tuning in.

We know the wait has been longer than anticipated, but we are officially back, in our unsophisticated style, with a fresh new season of the podcast! This season marks a new beginning for us. We've taken a step back and reflected on our journey so far. The three of us have evolved and experienced life in remarkable ways since we first started this podcast. Now, we're ready to embrace a new chapter, injecting more creativity, and bringing you content that truly matters. Joining us to kick things off is the wonderful Meera Christine! Meera brings a fresh perspective and delightful energy to this episode. You might already know her from her viral TikTok videos, but if not, get ready to be amazed. Thank you for tuning in, we can't wait to share our unsophisticated style with you once again!

This week we talk about the piece of technology hardware that has probably had the most significant impact on our lives; the smartphone. In particular, apps. Which apps have helped improve life as we know it and which have ruined some elements? Those who are interested in grabbing themselves a Google Pixel 6 pro or iPhone 13 Pro will definitely benefit from this episode. [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/the_official_asp/

You guys must be so confused by the title. Are we talking about an office in Brooklyn, NYC? Are we recording this particular episode from an office in Brooklyn? Did we get a big office in Brooklyn? We wish we did, but it is none of the above. It's a wordplay on the three sitcoms The Big Bang Theory, the Office, and Brooklyn 99. This week we talk about all things sitcoms! From their health benefits, why we keep going back to our favourite ones, and a potential problem with them as well. P.S. We like Friends, HIMYM, Seinfield, Modern Family, and others too.  [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/the_official_asp/

This episode is a long time coming. For those who remember, Maison Violet was our first ever sponsor. They are a perfumery based in Paris, France that was originally founded in 1827. However, due to the world wars and other crises, the perfumery ceased activity around 1955. That is until three best friends; Anthony Toulemonde, Paul Richardot, and Victorien Sirot; decided to restore the historical perfumery. In this episode, Anthony and Paul join us to talk about all things perfumes, Maison Violet, their friendship, living in Paris, and much more (including their appearance on YesTheroy). We were ecstatic to have them as guests this week, especially Prashan who is a Fraghead.

This episode is quite a special one for us because recording it marked the one year anniversary of our first episode. It has been an amazing ride so far, and we would like to just thank all of our guests who blew us away with their experiences, but above all thank you to our listeners. We appreciate all the feedback we receive, and try our best to implement it where possible. Cheers to an even better second year for ASP.  [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/the_official_asp/  

This week we let our inner Greta Thunberg out! We talk about a few notable companies and countries that have successfully reduced their carbon footprint through some innovative ways. What is your carbon footprint? Can you lower it? [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/the_official_asp/

This week we return as a trio and answer some interesting questions that you sent to us through Instagram. We had a lot of fun answering them and would love to do another one next season if you liked this episode. [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/the_official_asp/   

Season 2. You read that right! We are back, and what a way to be back then with a special guest from across the pond, Alish Gupta. We were a bit rusty, but it helped that Alisha is a host of a podcast herself; What Cause Inspires You (please check it out). Alisha, alongside being a university student like us, is an entrepreneur, social activist, and a brilliant dancer. How does she do all this? Tune in to find out.

This week we have our second ever international guest. Similar to Ashna Gray (episode 22), Renee is also from Chicago, but she is currently living in New York City. She has over 430,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares humorous videos with the love of her life, food! Renee is a big foodie and a coffee lover, and her dream is to have her own food series. She is also a model, an actress, and has studied fashion. In this episode, we get to learn more about her, and her experience so far in these fields as well as living in The Big Apple. Thank you, Renee. Take care, and please share.
