Dr. Srikumar Rao is a speaker, author, former business school professor and the creator of Creativity and Personal Mastery, a course designed to effect personal transformation.

Through beautiful stories, Dr. Rao brings awareness to the negative internal talk we many times nourish in ourselves. “It's a self-reinforcing loop: the more you think about it, the deeper it becomes,” he says. The mental chatter influences how we relate, how we feel our experiences, and most importantly, how we create our reality.

He also sheds light into what he calls our “mental models,” our deep-rooted beliefs about how the world works.

So, how can we break these patterns and build a more meaningful, intentional life? That’s what we talk about in this interview.
