Because 3AM isn’t just a time — it’s a feeling.

In this episode, I open up about one of the toughest chapters of my life, from navigating the emotional ups and downs of the COVID-19 lockdown to losing my grandparents, facing rejection from all the universities I applied to, and struggling to find purpose when everything felt uncertain.

I share my story of moving from school to college, getting rejected by 11–12 universities, finally finding my way to London, and how those experiences shaped my mindset around resilience, self-discipline, and self-improvement. From getting fired from my first two jobs to eventually starting my own influencer marketing agency, this episode dives into the real-life lessons school never taught me, dealing with rejection, learning from failure, and pushing through self-doubt to create a life of meaning.

If you’re feeling stuck, rejected, or unsure about your next steps, this conversation will remind you that change is possible, even from your lowest point.

The 3 AM Show is a raw and unfiltered late-night podcast where I (Raghav Goyal) open up about the real stories behind resilience, self-help and creative entrepreneurship.

Born from my own nights of insomnia, bullying, family trauma and feeling lost, this show explores how we rebuild ourselves, find purpose and turn pain into possibility. Each episode dives into topics like mental health, isolation, grief, overcoming rejection, starting over in a new country, building confidence, and carving a path in business and creativity.

You’ll hear vulnerable solo episodes where I unpack my own experiences, from losing loved ones to leaving home for London, and honest conversations with guests who’ve built something meaningful out of hardship. Together we’ll explore practical lessons, emotional breakthroughs, and inspiring stories that help you grow stronger, think bigger, and live a more intentional life.

Whether you’re lying awake at 3 a.m. or simply looking for an authentic voice in the noise, this is your space to feel seen, reflect, and find the tools to create the life you deserve.
