In this episode of the Mindset Boosters Podcast, Umar sits down with venture capitalist and entrepreneur Shambhavi Mishra for a wide-ranging conversation about building bigger, thinking differently, and staying human in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Shambhavi’s message is simple:

Be uncomfortably ambitious. Think bigger. Be useful. And don’t lose the human connection.

In this episode:

  • Why Canada needs more entrepreneurial ambition
  • What founders can learn from India, the U.S., and global markets
  • The role of honesty and courage in leadership
  • How to build trust and stronger networks
  • Why people still invest in people
  • How AI can improve productivity without replacing human connection
  • Why the next generation needs both IQ and EQ


Stop Playing Small: Mindset, AI, and Ambition is a conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, technology, and what it takes to build something meaningful.
