126. Suneel Gupta: He will help you find that spark again, yes, really, just like he did for himself

How I Got Hired

My guest today was once seen as the “face of failure” in the New York Times, so if there’s one thing he understands really well, it’s that the road to success is not always smooth. Suneel Gupta learned from his mistakes and went on to found RISE, a breakthrough wellness company recently bought by Amazon. Suneel is now a successful author and host of a docu series called ‘Business Class’. I loved his first book Backable which is about how to get buy-in from others to move your ideas forward, and his new book called Everyday Dharma has a very relevant premise: our job is the #1 predictor of our mental health. And yet, most of us seem miserable with what we do. Dharma is a timeless answer to the emptiness we feel — and a process for bringing joy back into our life and work.
Brace yourself for an inspiring and insightful episode as speak with this trailblazing entrepreneur and author. Picture this - the ups and downs of working at huge tech companies, an unexpected summer camp transformation, applying basketball recruitment strategies to a business, and the birth of a wellness company that caught Amazon's eye.
The conversation journeys into what it means to turn passion and ambition into your life's work. It involves a 'Game of Now' approach and discovering what truly sets your soul on fire. Oh, and did I mention, he'll also spill secrets on how to go from messy notes to a beautifully written book?
Intrigued much?
Unmissable episode!
