The Beginner's Mind Show is the latest initiative of team SJS to add meaning and value to the lives of people who are going through tough times. The interviews aim to motivate and inspire people to give their best and succeed. The show is inspired by the concept of Shoshin (初心) from Zen Buddhism that literally translates to having a beginner’s mind.

Team SJS believes that in this ever-changing and dynamic corporate world, it is by practicing the idea of Shoshin that you can add to the existing skills set and still lead a happy and healthy life. Shoshin refers to a state wherein you lead the life free of any preconditioning. You approach people and situations with an openness of mind, allowing you to assess, assimilate, ascertain, and respond.

It is one of the inspirational talk shows, where world-renowned podcaster Simerjeet Singh invites achievers, experts, coaches, authors, healers, and entrepreneurs from across the world. He tries to decode their work ethics and deconstruct their success mantra through the interviews. In an open and candid setting, Simerjeet explores their life stories, struggles, and the ways and strategies they adopted to overcome the hurdles. He questions them about various topics with an open mind to learn and hopes that you will also get valuable takeaways that you can implement to turn your lives around.
Through this show, Simerjeet wants to convey that you need to have a beginner’s mindset to live life to its full potential. If you approach the things around you with childlike wonder in your eyes, the world will be a magical place. You put a lot of stress, anxiety, and even fatigue by aiming to be a know-all. Remember that no one is perfect, and there will always be things out there about which you might not know much. But it does not reduce your worth as an individual. The different experts have one common message: happiness is not dependent on what we experience; rather, it depends on how we experience it. The show caters to the how of your experiences and aims to make your life a more fulfilling one.

The Beginner’s Mind Show concentrates on specific paradigms which lead to different explorations with a diverse group of experts. Some of the major ones are: why with growing expertise, people tend to become more rigid about their viewpoints and stands, why achievers over time become bad listeners, and why leaders develop the habit of consistently winning the argument? When you have the beginner’s mindset, you are open to new ideas, and your overall learning increases. The show follows the words of Shunryo Suzuki, a Zen master who said, “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”
You should watch these shows with a lot of curiosity and eagerness. Give vent to all the possible questions you might have on the topics, and we will try to answer them all. You should remember that only the inquisitiveness of mind takes people places, so come, let us explore, learn and grow with a beginner’s mind together.  

Enjoy this transformational wisdom in a video format on your YouTube Channel or as a podcast while you are on the move.
