Hi and welcome back to The Underdog Protagonist. If you have been walking this journey with me, whether from episode one or just a few weeks ago, this moment is for you. We are officially closing out season two of the underdog protagonist. 24 episodes deep, 24 stories, 24 confessions, reflections, lessons from a season that was in every way raw and real. If I'm being honest, this wasn't just a podcast season.

This was a season of my life. It captured the grind, the burnouts, the resets, the voice notes I turned into episodes, the quiet battles, the loud doubts and the invisible wins. But now, it's time to evolve. Season three isn't just another chapter. It's a shift.

A shift from me talking to us building. A shift from solo episodes to real conversations. Because if there's one thing I have realized, it's this. I'm not the only underdog with a mic. I'm not the only one still climbing.

And I'm definitely not the only one with a story. So in season three, we open up the space. You will hear from guests, creators, founders, writers, misfits, doers, people who aren't just successful, but self made. People who have stumbled, restarted, recalibrated, and kept moving. People who once felt invisible, just like we did.

And people who remember what it means to build in the margins. These won't be polished highlight reels. These will be real stories of failure, doubt, pivots, second chances, and of the moment they finally owned the protagonist's role in their lives. Here's what you can expect. Unfiltered conversations with no scripts and no fluff.

Stories that start in the trenches, not on the TEDx stage. Guests who have gone from overlooked to undeniable. And topics we have never touched before. From identity and creative anxiety to systems, discipline and building slow on purpose. And yes, the uploads will be stronger, more intentional and more impactful Because, I'm not just releasing episodes anymore, I'm releasing stories that make people stay.

To everyone who's listened through season two, to the ones who messaged me after episodes dropped And to the ones who shared it with a friend and said, hey, this sounds like you. Thank you. You kept this alive when I wasn't sure if I should keep going. And now, we are about to go even deeper together. So say locked in season three is on the way, new voices, some underdog spirit, big stories, more reasons to believe even when no one's clapping yet.

This isn't goodbye. This is a new beginning. I'm Pratyush, you have been listening to The Underdog Protagonist and I'll see you in season three. Till then, take care.
