What does it truly mean to be successful — and why do so many high achievers still feel unhappy even after reaching their goals?

In this episode of The Beyond Impact Podcast, Colin Egglesfield sits down with elite executive coach, bestselling author, and spiritual teacher Dr. Srikumar Rao for a powerful conversation on happiness, fulfillment, personal mastery, and the deeper purpose of life.

Dr. Rao also shares practical insights on ambition, spirituality, setbacks, and why identifying with the “actor” instead of the “character” can completely transform the way we navigate life.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, creative, executive, or simply someone searching for greater meaning and inner peace, this episode offers timeless wisdom and practical perspective for living a more fulfilled life.

Can ancient meditation practices reduce anxiety, insomnia, and depression — and can science prove it?

In this episode of The Beyond Impact Podcast, Colin Egglesfield sits down with Dr. Ishan Shivanand, globally acclaimed mental health researcher, professor, bestselling author, and founder of Yoga of Immortals.

Raised in an Indian ashram and trained in one of the oldest yogic lineages, Dr. Ishan bridges ancient Eastern wisdom with modern clinical research. During the COVID era, his team expanded a planned small-scale study into a 10,000-participant trial that demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety, depression, and insomnia within just 4–8 weeks of consistent practice.

In this conversation, Colin and Dr. Ishan explore the science behind breathwork, mantra-based meditation, visualization techniques, and why stress itself isn’t the enemy — but our relationship to it may be.

They also discuss the role of faith in mental health, the difference between institutional religion and spiritual practice, and why the future of medicine may lie in integrative healthcare that combines pharmaceutical care with meditation-based resilience training.

Dr. Ishan even guides Colin through a live meditation practice that listeners can follow.
