A 101 guide to stalking anyone like an EX would. Welcome to the second episode of #ThursdayTapeswithBB. In this episode I will be revealing how my co-founders find perfect guests for the topics they want to shoot. How they find guests – ??By searching via relevant keywords of the topic on LinkedIn and YouTube. (Ex – To find someone for an ep on ‘Pursuing MBA at IIM A’, start by searching ‘IIM A’) ??By reaching out to people that they have admired during their journey. ??By asking friends/family for recommendations. They usually make a list of around 10 people for every topic. Now, for filtering out the perfect guests, they start by extensively stalking them by going through their social media handles. They look up to, ??the experience and education section over LinkedIn, ??the kind of posts they create and engage with, ??their communication skills (if video-form content is available) ??the current projects that they are working on, etc. After listing out the final guests they shoot them a text across over the platform where they remain the most active. Wanna know how they craft a message that attracts guests? (hehe, you will have to wait for the next episode. :)) Hopefully, you too are a pro at stalking now :)

Dear LinkedIn user, Hope you’re doing well. This is an official (we promise) note from Team Barely Balanced, on behalf of your 'jalebi se bhi zyada seedha' manager, reminding you that on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, it's time to switch off your laptop or lock it in the wardrobe if needed, and take a day or two off, to enjoy diwali. Work can wait – Diwali only comes once a year, yaar! So please, spend it with your loved ones, not your inbox. We hope this message is loud and clear, otherwise, we’ll have to visit you personally and resort to “persuasive” physical demonstrations. Oh, and don’t forget to distribute barfis to your near and dear ones, And pass on soan papdi to your ex(es), because.. well, you know why! Wishing you a Shubh and Sparkling Diwali! ??? Team Barely Balanced :)) Shruti Singh | Vanshika Garg | Barely Balanced

Working on building Barely Balanced from last two months, cold emailing to more than 10 people, on boarding 3 guests, and marketing our podcast, have taught us this ONE very important lesson! And now this one thing, is Barely Balanced's motto, vision, mission, whatever you want to call it. It is — to be 'BE BESHARAM!' → Be Besharam enough to ask → Be Besharam and take chances → Be Besharam and send that text → Be Besharam and grab that opportunity And your 20s is the right time to realise and learn this, as soon as possible. If you want that car, that money, that luxury — then Be Besharam If you want to win — then Be Besharam The blueprint is as simple as it sounds: Be Besharam — take those chances — work on them — learn your lesson or WIN. PS: What are your thoughts on this? Shruti Singh | Vanshika Garg | Barely Balanced #BeBesharam #youcandoit #growth #linkedin
