Episode 52 – The Crazy People Crew Show Is Back!

After a five-episode hiatus, your favorite dynamic duo is back behind the mics—and this time, it’s just Russ Broomell and Maurice Hofmann, unsupervised and unfiltered in Episode 52 of the Crazy People Podcast. Yes, it’s time for another Crew Show, and trust us: it's like therapy, but with more sarcasm, sci-fi, and tech tangents.

In this refreshingly real conversation, Russ and Maurice tackle the chaos of modern life, from the illusion of rapid change to the very real challenges of staying sharp in an AI-saturated world. They riff on everything from learning Python (spoiler: Maurice tried it, didn’t cry, moved on) to de-skilling dangers, pandemic-induced laziness, and why some of the best tacos are found in sketchy parts of town.

Russ opens up about personal growth, seasonality, and why reading fiction is now a form of rebellion. Maurice drops philosophical science nuggets inspired by Brian Cox and explains why being wrong should make us giddy. It's a wild ride through entrepreneurship, education, and emotional survival in a hyper-digital age—with a side of barbecue and a sprinkle of existential nerdiness.

Think of it as a motivational slap wrapped in dad jokes and delivered by two guys who’ve failed often enough to know what they’re talking about. This episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s a masterclass in embracing discomfort, outsmarting algorithms, and laughing your way through the hard stuff.

Catch it now—wherever you listen to your favorite shows. And if it hits home? Pass it on.

In this electrifying new episode of the Crazy People Podcast, Russ Broomell and Maurice Hofmann bring on a guest who’s not just ahead of the curve—he’s building it. Jay Talaviya joins us to share his story, and what a ride it’s been: from small-town India to chemical engineering, from climbing the corporate ladder at giants like Deloitte and Cox to founding a telehealth company that just might redefine how the world accesses care.

Jay’s story is a masterclass in curiosity, courage, and calculated risk. We explore how his deep roots in data and technology became the fuel for launching a company focused on virtual care—long before the world was forced to Zoom everything. He walks us through the challenges of entrepreneurship (including the terrifying realization that you now have to do sales) and the magic moments that make it all worth it. Whether he’s streamlining provider workflows through AI or helping patients get care in rural areas or crowded metros, Jay’s mission is clear: healthcare should be fast, accessible, and human.

As the conversation unfolds, we dive into everything from designing tech that your mom can actually use to building resilience when your startup roadmap starts looking like spaghetti. Jay even drops a few personal gems—his favorite Hindi tune, his dream vacation to nature, and the unexpected joy of hearing “thank you” from a client who almost ghosted.

If you’re into innovation that matters, tech with heart, and the kind of founder who still believes in helping people over chasing hype, this one’s for you.

Get ready for an episode that mixes business wisdom, startup grit, and just the right touch of human warmth. Jay Talaviya isn’t just building a product—he’s building a better future.

Find the episode wherever you listen to podcasts, and don’t forget to share it with someone who still thinks “telehealth” means FaceTiming your doctor from the kitchen.

Buckle up, folks—it’s the big 5-0! 🥳 Episode 50 of the Crazy People Podcast is here, and we're celebrating this milestone with nothing less than a mic-drop masterclass in real talk, resilience, and rock & roll. Your favorite dynamic duo—Russ Broomell and Maurice Hofmann—welcomes the ever-insightful, LinkedIn Top Voice and international sales whisperer, Niraj Kapur, to the virtual hot seat.

If you thought sales was just about pipelines and CRMs, think again. Niraj takes us on a whirlwind journey from cassette-tape rockstar dreams to becoming a top-tier sales coach who’s traveled across continents to close deals, build human connections, and—not-so-subtly—shame everyone still using “Hope you’re well” as a cold open.

In this truth serum of an episode, Niraj doesn’t just talk sales—he deconstructs it, slaps a bow tie on it, and redefines what it means to show up. We dig into why most people suck at opening sales (and how to fix it), why authenticity trumps automation every time, and how a simple act of kindness or a personal visit can do what 10,000 LinkedIn impressions never will.

We talk ghosting (no, not dating—worse: client ghosting), the lost art of the follow-up, and why European and American sales tactics are like cold brew vs. espresso—similar, but very different vibes.

And Niraj doesn’t hold back. From his time hustling door-to-door after hitting rock bottom on welfare, to winning back market share one face-to-face meeting at a time, his story is packed with grit, grace, and glorious 80s rock energy.

He also shares the five crucial habits every young sales pro should master, why your phone addiction might be killing your career, and what it really means to build trust instead of transactions. Oh—and if you’ve ever wondered how teenage kids and cats are basically sales training bootcamps, this episode is your gospel.

You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You might even cry a little. But most importantly, you’ll walk away with real tools to sell better, live deeper, and lead with heart.

So whether you’re a cold-calling rookie, a LinkedIn guru, or just here for Niraj’s Bruce Springsteen obsession—hit play and let’s get crazy.
