Your soundtracks are phenomenal. Also grateful you reflect your Indian identity proudly instead of hiding it like so many Indians abroad do. Nikhil FTW
He is. Formerly Ali abdaal but Ali has lost the creative original touch to his videos and it's not his fault tho when your channel goes to corporate that's expected
I completely agree with the message here. I got a job a few weeks ago after several failed interviews, and I think a big reason why I got it was that I leaned into my archetype during the interview. It’s much more impactful to talk about your real strengths and what you are really into and excel at than it is to put up a front of what you think they are looking for.
You're not definitely not bullshitting. I'm actually wondering why I look forward to your videos so much, lately it's so raw and authentic that it feels like listening to a close friend. Keep it up.
“Sharing the journey” this is truly what makes your content resonate with me. We have seen you progress and grow through the years and that is what makes your content so genuine but also as a source of inspiration. You are living proof of your success Captain!
You know the best thing about your whole journey - when you finally do make it to the big screen (which i prophesize *is* happening), it's not going to be the big wow moment you thought when i first started watching your content at 50K subs. That big screen is just going to be a result of all of this effort you put in today. An obvious outcome - almost as if there was no other way. Greatness is forever coming 💯
Cap, my beautiful man, what a video. I'm not really into status game, so I went into watching the vid as entertainment, and ended up glued to the screen, rewinding some moments and taking all the notes. Synchronicity, watched True Detective for the first time ever few weeks ago and brought it up as well. Wow. Your content is gold, I love everything you produce. I also never felt you're faking, or fronting, even past year or so. You always felt as a real person to me, passionately caring for anything you do. You're practically the only person I watch from all big (and small) 'self-development' YT-bers. Love you, Cap. Stay glorious.
These last few videos have definitely been on another level, but it's even more than that. Whatever you're doing or intending behind the scenes, there's an entirely different energy around them that's never been there before. Whatever you're doing keep it up, this is absolutely killer work man.
Less than 10 minutes in, you can't even fathom how you have helped me connect the dots of all my creative convictions! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you, Sinbad....May whichever higher power you believe in bless you and enable you to see the impact of your life's work.
Amazing video. Two thins that stuck to me from this video the most: 1. Live the archetype. It makes the activities you do be so much more meaningful. Like the Batman example - having a physique or money is much more impactful than just having the physique for the sake of having one. This definitely separates the high level creators from the rest. They have a much more interesting story. Definitely something I need to think about. 2. Don't front it. This hits home. Sometimes trying to 'fake it till you make it' or just pretending to be something you wish you were. Instead identifying who you want to be and actually doing those things day in and day out. Very deep stuff
Thank you Nikhil, I love you! You inspire me to be more often in my inspired and great state of mind and make better decisions. Personal written expression in a public place: In my journey I am building an agricultural robot for like 4 years in the time outside my day job, my plan is when I finish the prototype is to build a company with it as the first product. I made a lot of progress but I could have done more and I know why, I am not always the person I want to be, there are phases, there are phases that I am focussed and others that I am just paralysed by being overwhelmed. Also I feel that I need to finish my robot to become worthy of others admiration to and inspiration to work with me on my things and yet at the same time, this project is huge and I am doing all alone and I know I need help to develop it faster because my job takes a lot of time and energy from me daily and distracts my focus a lot, and I don't have extra money to hire anyone besides the one I get from my job. I know I will figure it out, this dilema and obstacle that I face.
I have not seen a video of yours for a couple of years, I enjoyed this one and I think that you are crisp, clear and concise. Excellent work, thank you. All the best
Great video. You nailed it, especially in regard to the awkward shirtless selfie. Think about it. What is more engaging? Posting a shirtless mirror selfie from a bathroom or revealing your physique while traveling in a tropical location while pursuing something more meaningful? (such as writing a travel blog or playing sports internationally) "If you're too many things, you're nothing" I think there is truth to this. Although, I don't think one's archetype has to be limited to one pursuit. Henry Rollins is a musician, stand-up comic, weight lifter, author, and actor. He may not be "the best" in any field but still better than most in all of them. Rogan is a martial artist, TV show host, fitness enthusiast, psychedelic experimenting, ringside commentator, and runs the largest media platform globally. Your archetype doesn't have to be someone who does one thing better than all but someone who does many things better than 99%. Specificity doesn't have to be limited. It can be choosing to deliberately pursue a handful of things and not wasting time on what's not important.
I really enjoyed watching this. You've shown a very interesting angle, in an encapsulating video. The big underline of this is PURPOSE. Find your purpose and diligently work on it until you succeed. In return, you get a great social life and respect from the people around you, which turns into status. All things that just make life more enjoyable. If you choose a different lifestyle, with no purpose, where is the meaning?
I feel my archetype is a researcher. I am a soccer player, studying microbiology in college, I read a lot of books, I am running a personal brand on Instagram, I am a decent singer. And I feel everything come down to me researching about problems or questions I have solve it, apply it and teach others. Idk maybe other can help me identify my archetype
Excellent video. This video seriously made me think about a lot of things. Some really deep insights here. Going to have to seriously think about my archetype now.
Your intros are so freaking inspiring. One day I want to get to this level of production. Once my kids get a little older it will be easier 😅 Thanks for the motivation and inspiration captain.
9:19 "What are you?" "To define is to limit." - The Picture of Dorian Gray (Chap. 17) I would say , defining us as 1 thing like in a normal talk close doors for others things
Been casually watching your vids for years. I have noticed a difference in your videos over the last year or so in the way you referenced. They have definitely seemed more authentic and a different caliber.
Excellent video, I do remember you from the beginning, and even then, even though you were faking it in a way, you were still being genuine, and I always respected that. But now, I can definitely sense the difference, you really are the real deal and your presentation and advice have definitely 100X as a result. You inspired me then, and you inspire me now!
Status and social proof are embedded into our biology. While you can break through it with charm and a certain level of honesty, integrity and passion for what you do, at surface level, most women will judge a man based on how they move in society and what social circles they are a part of. You're valued much higher if you have strong influence within those hierarchical social circles. But none of these things are realistic aspects to be focused on. The best any man can do for themselves is work hard to be great at the things within their control. You can always choose to be fit, eat healthy, look better, and stay committed to medium to long term goals (education, job, community service, extracurricular hobbies, etc.). Being a well rounded and adaptable individual despite your social standing in life is a major trump card, once the facade of initial impressions wears off. Those are the things that stand the test of time.
I filled out the application. I’m looking forward to chatting with you soon! This video has confirmed something that’s been on my mind for years. Thanks!
Great video after great video. I have realised that my archetype is the detective. I used to joke that I wanted to open my own private detective agency. But, the more I think about it:I love interviewing people, searching for truth or knowledge, and making life better for people. So, even if I can't be a PI, atleast I know what I want to work with.
Brother Your Content is Unique and Best in Class. I have been watching your channel since many years now. I don't comment a lot but I have watched a lot of your videos over the years. And I have to say that you have forced yourself into becoming the best version of yourself and you inspire others as well to achieve greatness, huge respect for that.
Amazing! I just found your videos recently and I gotta say, great content!! I've always aligned with the artist archetype, and recently gained status with a really great job in 3d printing. Now I'm working towards a solo art show in my neighbourhood where a lot of people in my community will congregate. Pretty exciting time:) Thanks for your videos! Also, you're super handsome.😊
Even though I am not indian .song you put in the beginning I understand words by words bcz I am native Punjabi speaker. Other side of the border.... love you
My only regret is that I’m watching this video on the go and don’t have a notepad with me. There are so many gems in this video and I’m coming back for a second watch with my 📝
Easiest one: Wear suits. You'll feel 10x more successful immediately, have more charm and come over professional. If you wear a hoodie, no one will treat you with respect unless you are already a superstar. I've tried that many times - you wear something casual in a hotel bar, no one talks to you, because they think you don't matter. You wear a fine suit, you get in a conversation immediately - whether it be to create a dating situation or a business conversation. Trust me - get out of your hoodie, it's the worst habit someone can get used to.
The reason why people are using a hoody regularly is because they are not headed to a hotel bar or trying to sell some insurance. Wearing a suit if you have no reason and when you are in the wrong area is complete insanity. You'll be known as the car salesman guy if people get to know you. My guess is that you put on a suit every time you go for sushi?
Nikhil, female subscriber here. Sorry to talk about something so superficial here: I ALWAYS thought you looked great. (I've been subscribed for years so "always" means since the channel's early days). - AND your looks aren't why I subscribed (I'm here cuz I like the content and you and Thomas). But dang if you were right about the whole body fat percentage thing and its effects on facial appearance. I always thought you looked great, but your face has definitely glowed up even more since - working on your cut(?). Good job - that's a lot of work. I do not like everything people have to go through to become more telegenic. It seems a little unfair to have to do even though it's necessary for that particular desired result. But what you've done has worked. You're looking super model good. Just yum! (And seriously - you were yum before - and don't hate me but Thomas too!) 😜 But so yeah - all thru the video i was like "does he really look that good now? Huh, yes he does!" Give my regards and sympathy to your poor mom with all her amazing Indian home cookin cooked with canola oil but also with love. (Tip: cold expeller pressed raw avocado oil is a good healthy high heat cooking oil alternative although it's still an added fat). Cooking without oil or with less oil is also an option but that might not be a possibility. I don't know what you're doing there to still share meals - maybe you bring your own meal-prepped food and / or visit in other ways. There's always ways to make things work / work arounds for changing situations. 🙂👍 Also, other commenters are saying they never felt you were a faker or fronter. Me neither! Maybe you've felt like that (and it's good to be aware of so you can fix that for yourself). But for what it's worth, you've always had great content.
Here are a few examples of archetypes that can be seen in real life: The Leader: This archetype represents individuals who naturally gravitate towards positions of authority and have the qualities of vision, charisma, and the ability to inspire and guide others. The Nurturer: The nurturer archetype embodies those who have a natural inclination towards caring for and supporting others. They are compassionate, empathetic, and often take on roles such as parents, teachers, healthcare professionals, or caregivers. The Innovator: This archetype represents individuals who thrive on creativity, imagination, and the ability to think outside the box. Innovators often bring new ideas, inventions, and solutions to the world. The Sage: The sage archetype represents wisdom, knowledge, and a deep understanding of the world. Sages are often seen as mentors, advisors, or individuals who have accumulated vast expertise in a specific field. The Rebel: The rebel archetype challenges established norms, rules, and conventions. Rebels can be found in social and political movements, pushing for change and questioning authority. The Hero: This archetype represents individuals who demonstrate courage, selflessness, and a strong sense of justice. Heroes are often willing to sacrifice for the greater good and are driven by a desire to protect and make a positive impact on others. The Explorer: The explorer archetype embodies the desire for adventure, discovery, and personal growth. Explorers seek new experiences, whether through physical travel, intellectual pursuits, or spiritual journeys. The Peacemaker: This archetype represents individuals who strive for harmony, understanding, and reconciliation. Peacemakers work towards resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation in various settings.
Now, I know you say it's more important to find your plot and dig in there, but I think it's very useful to at least map out some adjacent plots, if only to be absolutely sure you don't belong there. Like, digging into the director archetype is a good idea if that's where your center of gravity is, but I'm sure years spent living as an actor didn't hurt. That's why the writer archetype is so interesting, because they're kind of adjacent to everything-the things you can write about, at least.
Watching one of your videos from a month ago where you said you’re working on lowering your bf%, it’s definitely working ur, jawlines lookin sharp bro, keep up the great work!

Your soundtracks are phenomenal. Also grateful you reflect your Indian identity proudly instead of hiding it like so many Indians abroad do. Nikhil FTW
He's literally our version of Gigachad with that face and voice. Just needs to get a bit more muscles and he's good to pose.

Intro scene "There is a hook in me" from The Covenant gives chills! Great work as always!!

Great shout-out, the Covenant was a great movie about a horrible situation that every American needs to know about.
I love these videos. Content quality has improved dramatically!
Great video, you have come very far! People like you make the lives of others better through these videos and I want to say thank you for that!
I watch all videos of Captain Sindbad till the very end to hear him say "Greatness is Coming"
I have not seen a video of yours for a couple of years, I enjoyed this one and I think that you are crisp, clear and concise.
Excellent work, thank you. All the best
Lessons that apply far beyond status, teaching how to live a more creative, authentic and meaningful life. Appreciated!

Excellent video. This video seriously made me think about a lot of things. Some really deep insights here. Going to have to seriously think about my archetype now.
If there is a "Coach" Archetype, that must be you
Phew - Nikhil is on a real journey and taking us with him as spectators - yep greatness is coming for you Cap Sinbad.
Crazy to see the progression in your content over the past few years man, keep killing it
Your intros are so freaking inspiring. One day I want to get to this level of production. Once my kids get a little older it will be easier 😅 Thanks for the motivation and inspiration captain.

Good work as always, way to go Nikhil Bhaiya ❤🎉

Great video after great video. I have realised that my archetype is the detective. I used to joke that I wanted to open my own private detective agency. But, the more I think about it:I love interviewing people, searching for truth or knowledge, and making life better for people. So, even if I can't be a PI, atleast I know what I want to work with.
The content and quality are outrageously top-notch and are only getting better by the week. You re the real deal man. And thanks for this channel 🙌🏼

Probably one of the best videos I've seen on your channel. Your video intros are just the best!!

Great video! I learned so much. Nikhil killing it as usual
havent watched this channel in a while and god damn the intro was something of a creative masterpiece
your face its almost amazing , this is so hard to get, amazing men, you know the effort and focus it gets
Challa soundtrack sounds phenomenal 💯
This is some of the greatest and most innovative content i've ever seen on youtube
Insert obligatory: “Stop what you’re doing hun. Sinbad just uploaded a new video.”
It's like you've made a MOVIE out of a LIST. How fucking amazing is that! The view counts will catch on soon enough Cap!
Captain at his best...
BRILLIANT breakdown.
What an intro bro.......goosebumps....
You already have built your status , now we are interested in your backstory!
Nikhil, female subscriber here. Sorry to talk about something so superficial here: I ALWAYS thought you looked great. (I've been subscribed for years so "always" means since the channel's early days). - AND your looks aren't why I subscribed (I'm here cuz I like the content and you and Thomas).

But so yeah - all thru the video i was like "does he really look that good now? Huh, yes he does!"
Give my regards and sympathy to your poor mom with all her amazing Indian home cookin cooked with canola oil but also with love. (Tip: cold expeller pressed raw avocado oil is a good healthy high heat cooking oil alternative although it's still an added fat). Cooking without oil or with less oil is also an option but that might not be a possibility.
I don't know what you're doing there to still share meals - maybe you bring your own meal-prepped food and / or visit in other ways. There's always ways to make things work / work arounds for changing situations. 🙂👍
Also, other commenters are saying they never felt you were a faker or fronter. Me neither! Maybe you've felt like that (and it's good to be aware of so you can fix that for yourself). But for what it's worth, you've always had great content.

content is rising beyond
Now, I know you say it's more important to find your plot and dig in there, but I think it's very useful to at least map out some adjacent plots, if only to be absolutely sure you don't belong there.
Like, digging into the director archetype is a good idea if that's where your center of gravity is, but I'm sure years spent living as an actor didn't hurt. That's why the writer archetype is so interesting, because they're kind of adjacent to everything-the things you can write about, at least.
Watching one of your videos from a month ago where you said you’re working on lowering your bf%, it’s definitely working ur, jawlines lookin sharp bro, keep up the great work!
