Hi everyone. I want to introduce you to someone really special that I just interviewed. So I found this guy because I saw a video of him giving a mind blowing speech to the staff of google.com and that was filmed like 10 years ago. But this man is truly special. He is an MBA lecturer in the United States and in London. He teaches in London Business School, in Columbia, in Berkeley, all of these elite schools. But what's unique about him is that students line up. They line up to get into his classes. And after they graduate from his classes, these students form alumni associations of graduates from this man's class. Because what he teaches is so profound, they cannot wait to go and discuss it with other people. They want to spread his work across the world because he wakes people up to whole new ways of thinking about life, the universe and yourself in relation to it. Which is why I call him my personal Yoda. When I'm feeling down, I call this guy up and he will drop some incredible wisdom bomb from Rumi or the Buddha, some ancient eastern philosopher, and all of a sudden I will see a connection and I start viewing life in a whole new way. So this man is Sri Kumar Rao, an amazing, amazing, amazing man. Another really fascinating story about Sri and why you want to be listening to him is that imagine this, right? You give a speech, a Sri Gafta speech, and it's not at any major event, it's not a TedX, it's not a Ted. But this 20 minute speech is so good that Ted.com calls you up and asks if they could put this speech on their website. That's what happened to Sri Kumar Rao. One of his 20 minute speeches in a completely different situation was so good, it ended up being featured on Ted.com it became a TED Talk after he gabbit because of its quality. So I want to invite you to experience Rao yourself doing a masterclass with him. We just finished filming it in New York and it is so, so, so cool. Raou has this beautiful ability to take wisdom from the east and combine it with entrepreneurial ideas from the modern age. It's like Buddha meets Elon Musk. And no matter where you are in life, his ideas are going to help you ascend to a different level. What you're going to learn is how to understand that you live in a friendly universe. And when you can see that, you start knowing and understanding why certain things happen in your life. And this makes you more resilient. You become more adept at dealing with the day to day problems that we're all inevitably going to be experiencing in life. You also develop a higher sense of self worth and confidence and you feel happier because you feel aligned with a greater purpose and connected to the wider world. And all of this happens as Sri takes you through these five ideas that he's going to be covering in this masterclass. So the link is below. Enroll. You can join me Completely free Me and Sree Kumar Rao cannot wait to share these ideas with you.
