Living As You

What is a fundamental aspect of life that our human minds desire when battling a challenge? Control. Without this power in our hands, our rational minds cannot comprehend a future of doubt and uncertainty. But what if actually relinquishing control to the Universe was the very thing that allowed us to overcome our barriers? Today on “Living As You,” we sit down with orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sanjeev Bhatia, to discuss relinquishing this control, staying calm in the heart of battle, and the future of modern medicine. It’s time to lift the weight of the world off of our shoulders.

On today’s “Living As You” podcast episode, we sat down with the former Nike Director of Tennis Sports Marketing to talk relationships, integrity, and authenticity behind the curtain. You don't know who's watching when the spotlight isn't shining brightly...
