EP 31: Is Your Home Making You Poor? The Scams vs. Science of Vastu Shastra

In this fascinating episode of The Kapoor Podcast, we dive deep into the ancient wisdom of Vastu Shastra and Vedic Astrology with Saurin Dave, a renowned certified astrologer and professional engineer. Saurin provides a masterclass on how the alignment of your home and the movement of planets deeply influence your health, wealth, and mental peace. We explore how to harmonize the five elements—Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Sky—to create a living environment that generates positive cosmic energy. The conversation also breaks down the science behind professional success, as Sauran analyzes the horoscopes of iconic figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Einstein. He addresses common myths, explaining why Saturn (Shani) is a strict judge of karma rather than an "evil" planet, and provides a roadmap for those living in Western homes where traditional construction changes aren't always possible.

EP 30: Canada's Real Estate in 2026: Is it Finally Time to Buy

In this insightful episode of The Kapoor Podcast, we sit down with Mudit Mehta, Founder of Elixir Realty, to navigate the complexities of the 2026 Canadian Real Estate market. As the GTA transitions into a buyer-inclined environment, Mudit provides a masterclass on why current depressed prices offer a rare entry point for those with a long-term vision.

The conversation also provides a roadmap for sellers and move-up buyers, diving into the "Art of the Sale" and the critical importance of professional staging and de-cluttering.
