Hello everybody, welcome to The Attitude Makeover Show. Today, I’m in conversation with Sundeep Rao - India’s Funniest Partially Blind Stand-up Comedian who is crystal clear when it comes to his many views, observations, opinions in life. Diagnosed with juvenile macular degeneration, a retina disorder when he was nine years old, Sundeep chose to switch to stand-up comedy and use the stage to accept and spotlight his experiences without undermining it or over glorifying it.
Sundeep’s journey is one of highs and lows, but beyond that, we talk about the value of knowing who you are because if you don’t then it becomes all about what you do, and banking your self-worth on that can be extremely taxing. Sundeep lays it all out about how he learnt to do things differently because of his visual impairment, how he learnt to unlearn to unleash a new way of living that is truly his. He beautifully articulates the importance of focusing on what you can do rather than what you can’t, internalisation, setting priorities, and putting labels into perspective. His insight into understanding the world and yourself with the inner eye is valuable.
"All great change happens with an Attitude Makeover" - In line with this, Sundeep leads you to think about life as a collection of experiences and how it comes down to spending time with your body, mind, breath, and those who matter. This episode is going to be a revelation for you in more ways than one. Listen on…
