Mork Unfiltered

Are you chasing the wrong version of success?

 In this raw, solo episode of Mork Unfiltered, recorded from Singapore, I unpack a powerful mindset shift that could change how you live your life.

After flying 24 hours to spend time with my 81-year-old father for the 25th anniversary of Insead's Singapore campus, I was reminded of the real stuff that makes life rich: experiences over stuff, connection over convenience, and meaning over metrics.

Whether you're feeling burned out, stuck in the rat race, disconnected from your parents or kids—or just wondering what the hell it's all for—this episode is a gut check.

🧠 3 Things You’ll Walk Away With:

1. Why experiences—not possessions—are the true currency of a meaningful life
   (and how to create more of them starting now, even if you’re not jet-setting across the world).
2. How to reconnect with aging parents before it’s too late
   (and why being present for them might also bring unexpected healing for you).
3. A new way to define success that actually sustains you
   (plus a simple tool to assess your life across 8 critical areas—from health to relationships to purpose).

🎯 Why Listen:

This isn’t some feel-good talk. It’s a wake-up call to check in with yourself:
 Are you actually living, or just hoarding?
 Are your relationships thriving—or surviving?
 Is your definition of success yours, or someone else’s?

You’ll walk away with clarity, motivation, and a powerful tool and proven framework I use with coaching clients to identify where you're thriving, where you're struggling, and how to realign your life with what actually matters.

✅ If you’re ready to stop drifting and start designing a more connected, energized, and purpose-driven life—this one’s for you.

In this episode of Mork Unfiltered, Patrick Mork sits down with Leela Srinivasan, CEO of Parity and marketing veteran of companies like LinkedIn, SurveyMonkey, and OpenTable. Leela’s career has been anything but linear—from sales in Fort Lauderdale to consulting at Bain, to now leading a mission-driven organization focused on gender equity in sports.

Leela opens up about what it really means to lead with values, how purpose guided her biggest career moves, and why knowing when to leap is more important than following a perfect plan. Whether you’re navigating a career pivot or looking to reconnect with your “why,” this episode offers real, grounded wisdom from someone who’s walked the talk.

Ever looked in the mirror and asked, “What the hell happened to me?”

Yeah — me too. Except my version included getting fired (twice) in 18 months, divorced, and nearly becoming a hood ornament on a garbage truck.

This episode is the wake-up call — the one I wish I didn’t need. I’m pulling the curtain back on the crash that forced me to confront the truth: I was lost and had no way to figure it out on my own. Chasing someone else’s idea of success. And it nearly cost me everything.

Here’s what you’ll get in this no-holds-barred first episode of Mork Unfiltered:

• The full story of how I burned it all down — and why it was the best thing that ever happened
• The near-death moment that slapped me awake
• How I asked for help and the coaching journey that helped me find my true north
• A dead-simple Japanese tool (Ikigai) to help YOU figure out your purpose and direction in life

In case you’re wondering who the hell I am…

I’ve lived in 11 countries, survived 33 moves, coached execs on 5 continents, and lived through a near civil war in a country 6,000 miles from home. I’ve launched billion-dollar products at Google, scaled startups from zero to rocketship, and gotten my ass handed to me more times than I care to count.

I’ve seen the top. I’ve hit the bottom. And I’ve rebuilt something real.

This episode is your invitation to stop the noise, ask better questions, and take the first step toward a life that actually matters.

The best part? None of this is rocket science. Not of this requires a fancy degree nor tons of money. It just requires you to go deep inside yourself, ask some uncomfortable questions and get real.

Ready? Let's go!
