Srini Rao (Ep.6): Turning your Liabilities into Assets




Rad Awakenings with Khe Hy show

Summary: And by liabilities, we mean "Angelina Jolie lips." I'm not kidding, I never thought I'd open a podcast by asking another guy about his lips. And that's only one of many similarities I share with this week's guest, Srini Rao, the CEO of Unmistakable Media. Srini and I also had “non-existent” dating lives which led to a deep-rooted fear of never falling in love and spending life alone. Today, at 39 - a self-proclaimed "late bloomer" Srini is still searching for that special person with whom he can grow a family of mini-surfers - but also knows that being alone is infinitely better than being with the wrong person. Srini's had a remarkable professional journey, he's the failed byproduct of the “traditional model of education and work” and graduated into two recessions, the dot-com bust (undergrad) and the global financial crisis (MBA). Now, as the founder and CEO of Unmistakeable Media, he's conducted over 700 podcast interviews, organized massive events, and is a published author of Unmistakable: Why Only Is Better Than Best. This is a wide-ranging conversation covering why men struggle to be vulnerable, if "follow your passion" is good advice, how to quiet the comparing mind, and the ingredients to finding flow at work: autonomy, purpose, and mastery.
