After 20 years as a successful IT professional in corporate America, I seemed to had it all. I raised over 10M’+ in sales, but I was unfulfilled and unhappy for not being in control. Suddenly I realized: if I died tomorrow, all I would be known for was 20 years of career success and nothing else. It wasn’t enough for me, so I worked feverishly to get out of an unfulfilling rut. I learned my lessons about investing in self and equally focusing on soft skills aka life skills like leadership, communication, etc. a hard way. But it doesn't need to be this hard. This is why I created this show where I can bring influencers and thought leaders from all walks of life who can help provide tools and strategies for growth in Entrepreneurship Spirituality and The Dance Of Life.
