I don’t know about you, but it just feels like everyone I know is “in it” right now. If you’re questioning everything and not sure which way is up, you definitely want to keep listening. Today we talk about dark chapters in life, the role our environment plays on our behavior and mindset, and what to do to when you’re in a big transition in your career and life.
You’re listening to episode 123 of the Lead with Love podcast and in this conversation, I get cozy with Srinivas Rao, the author of a Wall Street Journal bestseller book, The Art of Being Unmistakable.
Srinivas Rao is the host and founder of the Unmistakable Creative podcast, where he’s interviewed more than 700 people ranging from bank robbers to billionaires. Guests have included Tim Ferriss, Elle Luna, Seth Godin and 100’s of others.
“What I am always looking for is whether I find joy in the process of whatever I’m creating.”
