Ashish Vijh – Performative Male

by Ashish Vijh

Engineer. MBA. Corporate. Start-up. LinkedIn said everything was "fine". Ashish Vijh was "above baseline happy". Then he became self-aware. After twenty years of doing life "correctly", he noticed something unsettling: success feels weird... like a performance. In this sharp, playful debut hour, Vijh unpacks masculinity, ambition, wellness culture, therapy-speak and the exhausting art of pretending to have your life together. Blending personal stories, cultural observations and several questionable life decisions, Performative Male asks a simple question: what happens when the life you confidently explained to everyone suddenly stops making sense? Emotionally homeless with WiFi.
