Introducing the EITF Blog - Reflecting on Season 1

It feels like only yesterday that we started the EITF Project, so it is a bit of a shock to look back on the first interview we ever did, and realize that it took place all the way back in April of 2022! It’s hard to believe but true, and it’s been a real privilege to meet so many fantastic and knowledgeable people through this series. 

As the year draws to a close, this feels like as good a time as any to reflect on everything we learnt in Season 1. 

In this series of articles, we, along with our viewers and friends, will be reviewing the highlights of EITF season 1.

Here’s what that will look like –

  • Each article will feature one question we asked.
  • We will also discuss the answers provided by our experts, in separate articles.
  • These articles will include opinions and feedback from some of our viewers, some of our experts watching each other’s interviews, and from us.
  • We will open the forum for all of you to discuss our answers as well.
  • If you’d like to meet some of our experts, please register for the meet and greet event at : https://www.eitf-project.com/meet-greet/

These thoughts lead to a vicious cycle unknowingly created in the mind, which rewards inaction and stifles execution.   Reflecting on what EITF means to me (Shivam) , It is three individuals breaking free of this cycle, demonstrating that execution becomes manageable once we remove the fear of failure. I found that this empowering message resonated throughout many EITF interviews, irrespective of the interviewees' backgrounds, cultures, or industries. I also observed that the experts view failures as learning opportunities and had used small, early-stage achievements as motivation to fuel their journey. To me, this highlights the
