When Mangesh Hattikudur (Part-Time Genius, Humans Growing Stuff) set out to do a big, sweeping show on astrology, he didn’t realize the first interview would change the course of his life. But as he tries to put his world back together, he realizes the incredible ways astrology presents itself in modern society: from NASA employees who keep their belief in astrology in the closet, to world leaders who’ve used astrologers to guide foreign policy, to moneyball statisticians who use astrology more than statistics to build baseball teams, to a little shop in India where your fortune was written for you centuries ago, and is waiting for you to come claim it. Over the course of 8 episodes, Mangesh tries to decipher why we keep looking to the stars for answers, and what happens when you don’t believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to you.

If one wants to see how technology can completely change the landscape of business, the retail sector is a great place to start. From creating in-store experiences that continue to attract customers, to hybrid and online solutions that empower 24/7 sales, to the backend systems that power the supply chain, any business that doesn’t keep up with technology will end up in the retail graveyard. Perhaps no company understands the diverse nature of consumers more than Ulta Beauty, where everything from different skin tones, ages, preferences, and styles all come into play.  Remember, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” For this episode of the Restless Ones, Jonathan sits with Mani Suri, CIO of Ulta Beauty, who believes the opportunity for his business doesn’t just rely on the abundance of products they offer (over 25,000) to meet the various customer demands, but the abundance of technology available for use – including computing power, storage, and connectivity. Mani believes these on-demand resources remove the “parking-lot” constraints from the retailer and leave only the far-reaching limits of his team’s imagination in the way of making the company’s and customers’ retail dreams come true.

Hi, Part-Time Genius! Partition is a historical podcast that will discuss the 1947 Partition of India and the formation of Pakistan as told by me, Neha Aziz.

About Partition: Partition is a historical podcast that will discuss the 1947 Partition of India and the formation of Pakistan as told by me, Neha Aziz. I was born in Karachi, Pakistan, in 1990, and always knew that Pakistan used to be a part of India. However, it wasn’t until my first trip back to my home country in 2017 that I found out the devastating truth at an exhibit at the mall. Learning about partition inspired me to dig into the subject more, especially because I have no recollection of learning about it in school, and neither my parents or relatives ever spoke to me about it. It all started when Britain decided they could no longer afford to control India.They granted them independence and announced that a new country, Pakistan would also be formed. They severed the country in such a way that friends and neighbors became enemies and murderers. 

All facts said in the podcast are true and accurate, but I will be providing anecdotes and commentary as they relate to my discovery and research of Partition. This year marks the 75th anniversary, and it is high time that this story is revealed to the masses.
