Episode 5 – Who Is Listening? And Why that Might Not be the Point | Response vs Release
Aug 14, 2025 Season 1 Episode 5
Ankur Shiv Bhandari

In this thought-provoking episode, Ankur Shiv Bhandari challenges the idea that the value of our expression lies in the reactions it gets. Drawing on memorable metaphors, relatable real-life examples, and cultural touchpoints like The Truman Show, Ankur unpacks the difference between speaking for a response and speaking for a release and why the latter might be the more powerful choice.

Because sometimes the true impact of your words isn’t in how others receive them, but in the clarity and freedom you gain by letting them out.

From the noise of external validation to the quiet strength of intentional expression, this episode is a timely reminder that not every message needs applause, some simply need to be voiced.
