Welcome to episode 56 of the Mindful & Driven podcast! It's all about how to not lose sight of what really matters whilst chasing your dreams.

Episode 56’s guest is Dr. Nilesh Satguru. He's a high-performance coach, medical doctor, and speaker. In his coaching, he blends the science he's learned from his medical career with compassion to teach people how to be the best they can possibly be. Also, the kindness they can be and most compassionate to others.

Like many of us, he put so much pressure on himself when he was younger and went through all the right steps to become a doctor. But he realized that pressure was crippling him and he rediscovered compassion, which makes him who he is today and he's able to help CEOs, executives, and high performers across a huge range of different industries. It was a really insightful conversation.
