What does it take to build a brand that’s global, rooted, and unmistakably you?

In this episode of Breaking the Mold, I sit down with Raj Kotecha — global brand strategist and founder of Creative Content Agency — whose clients include Gary Vee, Tony Robbins, Steven Bartlett, and the Dubai Future Foundation.

We talk about identity, influence, and building a brand that cuts through the noise in 2025.

Highlights:
• Why “being Indian is like winning the lottery”
• The generational playbook behind brown excellence
• Raj’s season of sleeping on a mattress—with a Mercedes parked outside
• Why most people will never be seen
• How to become your own mini McKinsey
• The real meaning of credibility in a global market

If you're a creator, founder, or someone stepping into a new chapter — this one’s going to stay with you.
