In this brief YouTube short, host Paridhi Dhingra asks guest speaker Mitesh Khatri (referred to as Speaker B) about dealing with discouragement from family and community when pursuing big dreams. Khatri references a book titled What You Think of Me Is None of My Business and uses a kite metaphor to illustrate that resistance—like wind—propels growth. He advises responding politely to critics, then continuing to pursue one’s path, emphasizing that success requires stepping out of one’s comfort zone and embracing discomfort. The conversation ends with a reminder of an upcoming meeting on March 24, inviting viewers to join.

Wouldn't some people sometimes discourage you? And how do you feel about that? Because that happens with our community, and I get those questions a lot, that I am thinking big, but my family members think I'm going crazy.
Well, a friend of mine wrote a book called What You Think of Me Is None of My Business, which I love that title.
Oh, wow.
Kites don't fly unless there's— the wind's hitting the kite. It's the resistance of the wind that allows it to go up. The key is, how are you going to respond to that? I respond by saying, thank you for your point of view. And I go and I do what I do, you know. And what happens is they want you to stay down where they are. To get successful, you have to get uncomfortable. comfortable. You know, you have to get outside your comfort zone.
Thank you so much, and we are super excited to meet you on the 24th of March.
