“It's very simple. Decide when you get up in the morning that you're going to have a terrific day, no matter what happens.” — Dr. Sri Rao   My guest this week is Dr. Srikumar Rao, an elite coach who works with business executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs. He is widely known for his popular course, Creativity and Personal Mastery, first developed for Columbia Business School. His talk, “How Can You Plug-in to Happiness Now?” has had more than a million downloads and he is the author of two bestselling books, Are You Ready to Succeed? and Happiness at Work.    In our conversation Dr. Rao explains how we are all essentially prisoners of our own mind; that we create our own reality, and we all have the ability to break out of it. The key to having a great day starts with simply deciding it will be great, no matter what life throws at you, and at the same time surrendering any idea that we are in control of what happens. He also stresses that everything we do is an expression of who we are and that we all have the ability to elevate consciousness in ourselves as well as in others. By becoming more aware of ourselves, we can learn to understand how we can make a better and bigger impact on the world.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you'll also learn: How a practice of gratitude can help you shift your awareness  Why thinking we're in control is at the root of most of our problems  Why it's good to work toward a goal, regardless of whether you achieve it How we can free ourselves simply by shifting the thought that the world does not and is not the way we think it should be Why our awareness is like a flashlight, and where we shine it makes all the difference How your work can be part of your spiritual path, and not separate from it How surrendering control can be good for business  How you can make an impact through your daily actions Why he believes we as a species are better off than we ever have been before The practice he does daily to keep himself aware and present  His top recommendations for books and how to use them    Learn more from Dr. Sri Rao at the Conscious Entrepreneur Summit, May 17 and 18, 2022 in Denver.

In March 2020 when Los Angles closed as a result of COVID-19, the Geffen Playhouse launched the Geffen Stayhouse. Bollywood Kitchen is the latest show in a new lineup of live, virtual, and interactive productions. The production is a live version of Sri Rao’s cookbook of the same name that shares the story of his parents immigrating to America, their culinary traditions, and the joy that Bollywood musicals brought to his whole family. On this episode of Tech Bites, host Jennifer Leuzzi talks with Sri Rao and David Bengali about turning a cookbook into a live-streaming culinary event with people cooking along at home.Photo Courtesy of Hartman Benzon Media.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Sri Rao is a writer-director-producer based in New York City. He has created and sold numerous TV pilots in both network and cable television, spanning drama as well as comedy. Recent credits include dramas Alpha/Omega to BBC America, White House Affairs to NBC (with Craig Zadan & Neil Meron), Courtesan to Universal (with director Shekhar Kapur), The Black Widow to NBC, and comedy S.O.B. to ABC (with Kelly Ripa). His previous pilot sales include musical dramedy I Am Not Myself These Days to Bravo (with Darren Star) and drama U.N. to Fox. Sri began his career in New York’s indie film and theater scene. His first professional production as writer-director was the play, Precipice, which premiered at NY Performance Works before transferring to LA’s Greenway Court Theater. Sri then adapted Precipice into the pilot, Quarter Life, before going on to write and direct the indie film, Tuesday. His early work led to a career in television, beginning with the drama series, What Goes On, which Sri created for TeenNick. In addition to serving as Executive Producer/Showrunner, Sri wrote and directed most of the 10 episodes in the show’s first season. Moreover, Sri’s production company acted as the independent studio on the series, creating a 50,000-square-foot soundstage in Philadelphia to successfully leverage Pennsylvania’s film tax credit. Sri oversaw all aspects of production – from negotiating Union contracts to managing the production budget, payroll, production and post – all while guiding a writing staff of seven writers. On the motion picture side, Sri’s production company has produced two major Bollywood films for India’s largest and most well-respected studio, Yash Raj Films. The movies, New York and Badmaash Company, were filmed in the United States for a global market. Sri and his team managed an international cast and crew, including A-list Indian talent such as Irrfan Khan of Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi. In addition to his unique production experience, Sri has a keen eye for story and crafting characters, plot, and drama – as demonstrated by his stint as Head Writer for the primetime soap, General Hospital: Night Shift. Sri oversaw a writing staff of eight writers and under his direction, the show was nominated for 11 Soap Opera Spirit Awards, including Best Head Writer. In the unscripted arena, Sri directed and produced the docudrama pilot, U. of Fashion for MTV, as well as webisodes for TVLand’s High School Reunion. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Sri is an honors graduate of The Wharton School of the University of PA. He is represented by CAA.

In his cookbook, "Bollywood Kitchen", Rao blends the two, pairing musicals with menus, even his own, “Baar Baar Dekho” (Look Again & Again), a love story which featured 2016's #1 dance song “Kala Chashma”, and has over 300 million views on YouTube.

NWP welcomes SRI RAO! Sri is a writer-director-producer in New York City. He is uniquely positioned at the intersection of Hollywood & Bollywood, as one of the few Americans to have worked in the mainstream Indian film industry. Sri is an established TV screenwriter, having sold pilots to numerous networks including ABC, NBC, Fox, The CW, Bravo, BBC America, and Nickelodeon. Indian cuisine and Indian cinema (known as Bollywood) share much in common – bold colors and flavors with plenty of drama.    The popularity of Indian food has grown immensely in recent years – and for good reason. It's perfectly suited for people who love bold flavors, as well as those looking for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free meals that don’t skimp on taste. But as Sri points out in Bollywood Kitchen – you’ve probably never tasted real Indian food. Home-cooked Indian-American food is surprisingly simple to make, using ingredients readily available in your local grocery store.   In this book you’ll find dinner menus and brunch menus, menus for kids and menus for cocktail parties. Along with each healthy and easy-to-prepare meal, Sri has paired one of his favorite Bollywood movies. Every one of these films is a musical, packed with dazzling song-and-dance numbers that are the hallmark of Bollywood, beloved by millions of fans all over the world. Sri will introduce each film to you, explaining why you’ll love it, and letting you in on some juicy morsels from behind the scenes.   Bollywood Kitchen is as much a beautiful coffee table book as it is a cookbook, filled with gorgeous film photographs and colorful tablescapes. It’s a unique treasure for Indian food lovers, as well as fans of world cinema. http://www.NewYorkSri.com

Sri Rao is the only American writer and director working in Bollywood. A first generation American, Sri grew up with the sights and sounds of Bollywood as his parent's reminder of the homeland they left behind, and the smells of home cooked food imprinted on his brain as two of the most important connectors for an immigrant family forging a life in a new land. Growing up with a love for food and film Sri has turned that passion into his work. Writing and producing Bollywood blockbusters and cooking the food of his childhood. His new book Bollywood Kitchen will take you beyond the Indian food we're familiar with and bring it home alongside great recommendations for modern Bollywood classics to enjoy. This is the Dinner and a movie I've been waiting for. Feast Yr Ears is powered by Simplecast

He has been working as a television screenwriter for over a decade, and is uniquely positioned as one of the few Americans working in Bollywood, India's musical movie industry. His book "Bollywood Kitchen" is the first consumer-market book about Bollywood and will be released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in November, 2017.

Sri Rao is a writer-director-producer based in New York City. He has created and sold numerous TV pilots in both network and cable television, spanning drama as well as comedy. Recent credits include dramas Alpha/Omega to BBC America, White House Affairs to NBC (with Craig Zadan & Neil Meron), Courtesan to Universal (with director Shekhar Kapur), The Black Widow to NBC, and comedy S.O.B. to ABC (with Kelly Ripa). His previous pilot sales include musical dramedy I Am Not Myself These Days to Bravo (with Darren Star) and drama U.N. to Fox. Sri began his career in New York’s indie film and theater scene. His first professional production as writer-director was the play, Precipice, which premiered at NY Performance Works before transferring to LA’s Greenway Court Theater. Sri then adapted Precipice into the pilot, Quarter Life, before going on to write and direct the indie film, Tuesday. His early work led to a career in television, beginning with the drama series, What Goes On, which Sri created for TeenNick. In addition to serving as Executive Producer/Showrunner, Sri wrote and directed most of the 10 episodes in the show’s first season. Moreover, Sri’s production company acted as the independent studio on the series, creating a 50,000-square-foot soundstage in Philadelphia to successfully leverage Pennsylvania’s film tax credit. Sri oversaw all aspects of production – from negotiating Union contracts to managing the production budget, payroll, production and post – all while guiding a writing staff of seven writers. On the motion picture side, Sri’s production company has produced two major Bollywood films for India’s largest and most well-respected studio, Yash Raj Films. The movies, New York and Badmaash Company, were filmed in the United States for a global market. Sri and his team managed an international cast and crew, including A-list Indian talent such as Irrfan Khan of Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi. In addition to his unique production experience, Sri has a keen eye for story and crafting characters, plot, and drama – as demonstrated by his stint as Head Writer for the primetime soap, General Hospital: Night Shift. Sri oversaw a writing staff of eight writers and under his direction, the show was nominated for 11 Soap Opera Spirit Awards, including Best Head Writer. In the unscripted arena, Sri directed and produced the docudrama pilot, U. of Fashion for MTV, as well as webisodes for TVLand’s High School Reunion. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Sri is an honors graduate of The Wharton School of the University of PA. He is represented by CAA.   JJ Flizanes is an Empowerment Strategist.

A favorite of journalists and the media for her depth of knowledge and vibrant personality, JJ, a contributing expert for Get Active Magazine, has also been featured in many national magazines, including Shape, Fitness, Muscle and Fitness HERS, Elegant Bride, and Women’s Health as well as appeared on NBC, CBS, Fox 11 and KTLA.

With a focus on biomechanics, JJ has lectured for The Learning Annex and as a featured speaker for New York Times Bestselling Author of The Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Ecker’s Peak Potentials seminars, as well as corporate clients, including Pacific Gas and Electric, Hanson Engineering, and Jostens, Inc. She is the Wellness Expert for KFC International, the Health and Fitness Expert for the National Association of Entrepreneur Moms, and a Fitness Expert for Nourishing Wellness Medical Center. She has been working in the health and wellness industry for 15 years, as a fitness trainer with a knack for helping her clients become more self-aware and self-empowered through her ability to quickly identify and pinpoint problem areas, and then create simple solutions involving exercise, nutrition and mindset changes. She is the Host of the new iTunes Podcast Show Fit 2 Love: Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Fitness for the Happy Life You Deserve which is six day a week video and audio show. What sets JJ apart from her Celebrity Fitness counterparts is the holistic approach to getting results. Over the last fourteen years she has studied, used and applied Positive Psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Law of Attraction, Quantum Physics, Non Violent Communication, Imago Therapy, and Hypnotherapy. JJ Flizanes has proven that she’s not only an expert in matters of the body and fitness—she’s an insightful and provocative author who delivers a timely message about matters of the heart.

For 13 weeks, GH's cable spin off told powerful, multi-generational tales of love, hope and mortality, all primarily set in the soap's historic hospital. The series was truly a Valentine to long term fans of GH and beautifully explained to newer fans why iconic veterans like Tristan Rogers (Robert), Finola Hughes (Anna) and Antonio Sabato Jr. (Jagger) are so beloved. While making GH: Night Shift a success was a collaborative effort, it was one novice soap opera writing's vision of telling stories featuring the characters he grew up loving, as well as introducing an Indian doctor and telling a gay love story, that set Night Shift apart. That writer was Sri Rao.On today's episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast Luke and Jamey have a conversation with Rao, A Wharton Business School graduate who gave up his high-powered career in Manhattan, to follow his true passion for being a writer and director. Rao offers a refreshingly unjaded perspective about everything from the use of veterans in daytime to the politics behind gay storytelling.Rao shares the process he and his writing team embarked upon in giving larger-than-life superhero Robert Scorpio an all-too-real Achilles Heel in the form of cancer. He reveals how supportive ABC Daytime/SOAPnet head honcho Brian Frons was in allowing him the freedom to tell his stories and talks about the other projects his Sri Rao and Company are working on, including a teen drama series inspired by his boyhood love for My So Called Life called What Goes On and the Bollywood thriller New York. Rao also answers the question fans of Night Shift are dying to know: Would he ever consider bringing his passion and prowess over to daytime?

On today’s show Luke and Regan visit with Rogers about his amazing year and what it was like to portray Robert Scorpio, whose battle with cancer forced him and the fans to accept the reality that he was no longer the indestructible super-agent we’d grown accustomed to seeing on our screens. Rogers shares how seeing his former penthouse recreated on Night Shift was spooky and how it brought back so many memories for him and Finola Hughes. We ask Rogers about what it was like to work with Sri Rao and his popular writing team at Night Shift and get his thoughts on what role Rao may yet play in daytime. The wedding of Patrick and Robin would not have been complete without Robert Scorpio to walk his daughter down the aisle so we talk to Rogers about how important it was for him to be a part of the momentous occasion, what his favorite moments from the wedding were and how sentimental the wedding was for Finola, Kimberly McCullough and himself. Roger’s online series Tristan Rogers Unscripted gave fans behind-the-scenes glimpse into Night Shift that fans rarely see in daytime and he shares what it was like to get everyone to appear on the series. The economic crisis facing the country is having an impact on daytime and Rogers discusses can and needs to be done to help save the genre. Rogers gives an update on the auctions at TristanRogers.com in support of the charity Project Cuddle and tells us how much money his fans raised for the worthy cause.
