Pooja Marwah is a content strategist, award-winning author, and founder of Authique, a boutique agency trusted by global leaders, Fortune 500s, and government clients. Known as the ‘Energiser Bunny’ of LinkedIn, she helps high-performing professionals build standout personal brands through done-for-you content, positioning strategies, and profile makeovers. With a storyteller’s instinct and a strategist’s mind, she turns big ideas into bold digital presence.

In this episode, Pooja shares the unexpected story of how a Google search and a one-way flight led to a career she never saw coming. From writing in a parked car to publishing a novel, she talks about the moments that shaped her path, and why she shows up with joy, not just strategy. It’s a conversation full of courage, clarity, and the kind of energy that sticks with you.
