In today’s exciting installment of Small Business School, I am joined by Palak Dave, a mission-driven entrepreneur, experience expert, speaker and author of Beautiful Everydays: A Guide to Living in the Here and Now. Palak is a former award-winning marketer with senior roles at Toronto International Film Festival and Indigo Books and Music, Palak founded Embiria in 2017, which has since evolved to Embiria Social Club, a community helping women feel more fulfilled in their everyday lives. She has curated over 350 events, partnering with global brands like Lululemon and Bumble. Palak is passionate about championing a movement towards everyday fulfillment and real-life connections over digital distractions.

During our conversation we hit on creating deeper connections, breaking free from the hustle culture, how to make friends as adults and redefining what it means to feel fulfilled. 

Key Points Covered:

• Palak’s transition from corporate success to entrepreneurship and the pivotal role of community in her journey.
• How Palak curates intentional, sensory-driven experiences that go beyond traditional event planning.
• The power of personal touches like handwritten notes and fostering deeper connections.
• Cultivating adult friendships and the parallels between forming friendships and dating.
• Why slowing down and prioritizing yourself can lead to breakthroughs in life and business.
• The importance of doing things for joy instead of always seeking productivity or monetization.
• How Embiria Social Club helps women foster meaningful, offline connections.
