This week’s guest is global thought leader Poonacha Machaiah, an expert in the intersection of wellbeing and technology.

The importance of connection
We start this episode discussing the importance of connection and how the pandemic today is rooted in loneliness. We talk about how we are all meant to be together, not separated, and how this is impacting mental health and the stigmas that go with it.
Integrating wellbeing and focusing on self-awareness
Poonacha offers deep advice on how to handle the dark things, how to integrate the six pillars of wellbeing into your life and use the ABC’s to grow and guide your beliefs. We discuss his own journey and the pivotal events within his family that forced him to make decisions and trust in something more.
He shares his story of entrepreneurship, the failures, the losses, the struggles, and the one loss of a friend that changed the course of his life and perspective forever. He discusses the four soul questions, the fault of comparison vs. conformity, how to stay resilient in the face of adversity, to grow your mindset, let go of control, and be rooted in gratitude.
