The plan for the episodes to follow is to invite members who are influencers in the society so that more people will be influenced into joining toastmasters in the future. The guests will come from different clubs, different walks of life and members or past members who have different experiences to share. The overall objective of the show is to generate positive public relations in the Nepalese communities, educational institutions, and

corporates so that the vision to establish 100 clubs is fulfilled and existing members are motivated to renew their membership in the future.
