Raj is a husband, father, meditator, and overall life enthusiast. As an advisor and consultant, Raj’s passion for strategy and vision building has allowed him to lead successful strategic initiatives for both profit and non-profit organizations.

In our wide-ranging conversation, we talk about what it means to “build a brand,” how meditation helps in parenting, and Raj’s belief that practicing boredom is an essential art. We talk a lot about family — the way we were both raised by resource-constrained immigrant parents, the idea that parents are stewards of their children, and the roots of ancient cultures which are about the collective rather than the individual.

This conversation is a much-needed dose of honesty, wisdom, and encouragement, a reminder to recognize and be humbled by our privileges, and a call to remember that we have agency in the choices that we make. 

Please enjoy this far-from-boring conversation with — Raj.
