#9 - Calvin and Hobbes, Running and AI Travel Ideas
This week, Dhru speaks with Narayan Devanathan, a multitalented executive at Dentsu, the Japanese advertising giant - where he does many things, all in the spirit of Dentsu's global philosophy of championing meaningful progress. He was actually recommended by Bibhash Banerjee, a previous guest on Think Inspired, who described Narayan as an 'insight machine' and one of the most brilliant people he knows. So naturally, Dhru couldn't pass up on the opportunity to jam with him.
Narayan also happens to be a voracious reader and long-distance runner: he claims that much of his thinking and ways of being have been shaped in the time he's spent on the road, because, in his words, in the long run, everything works out.
His sagacious and wide-ranging perspectives on all almost all things are sure to leave listeners thinking inspired!
