The Things You Think Matter, Don't | Eshaan Akbar | #5

Eshaan Akbar is an ex-banker turned stand-up comedian. If you haven't seen him on your feeds, in a venue near you, or on your TV (QI, Mock the Week) - you're missing out!
It was a joy to record this epsiode and hear all about Eshaan’s life. We talk about:
- Growing up too white to be brown, and too brown to be white
- Money, a banking career and impressing aunties
- Trading it all to pursue comedy
- His relationship with his late mother
- Dealing with frief, and the grief balloon.
- And of course - we talk about Eshaan’s message to the world, “Dear Everyone, the things that you think matter, don’t - and the things you forget matter, do.”
This episode is everything you can expect from Eshaan, in that it’s both incredibly funny yet incredibly moving at the same time. I took alot of value from my time with Eshaan, and I only hope you all can too.
