A journey I think everyone’s compelled to take on at some stage in their lives”, Dasneves said.Chasing a sparkIn 'Chase the Spark', his upcoming book, he explores the central theme of pursuing ideas. The book delves into the notion that each person is moulded by a distinctive mix of advantages and disadvantages throughout their lives. Despite these differences, Dasneves is confident that the one common gift we all have is our ability to generate an 'idea'.“Though they may start as tiny flames like that of a matchstick, they wield the potential to either quietly fade away or ignite the world in a blaze of transformation.”The potential of this transformation is evident in his launch of the ShareFest podcast, which he dedicates to highlighting a broad spectrum of personalities.Dasneves said he aims to offer a near-to-reality perspective of what it truly means to pursue a career or passion. In each episode, he engages in conversations that encapsulate the essence of his guests’ unique experiences and insights, aiming to provide listeners with a diverse and enriching perspective.

He cautioned individuals not to fall prey to traditional strategies and routines of time management, as different systems work for different people. He urged them to find their personal approach to being productive and stick to that.According to Dasneves, finding a personal approach has helped him maintain a sense of control and accomplishment. This, he said, prevents anxiety and depression associated with unfinished tasks or a lack of active pursuits."Also, be mindful to never underestimate the value of the small efforts you put into your pursuits. It is these consistent, incremental actions that build the foundation for the extraordinary accomplishments we aspire to achieve.”
