I think you mentioned in a way of understanding your purpose, our purpose. So my individual purpose in life, I believe, is to take these teachings from Years Ago, from this very elegant, sophisticated vedic tradition, and distill it down and offer it in a digestible way to the modern world and the modern existence.
Picture this: a seasoned business leader who has spent two decades navigating the corporate world, now blending his executive expertise with the ancient wisdom of the East. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Vish Chatterji, author of 'The Business Casual Yogi: Take Charge of Your Body, Mind, and Career'. Vish's journey is anything but ordinary.
With a background in mechanical engineering and an MBA from the University of Michigan, he's held leadership roles in the automotive, technology, and startup sectors.
