We're back baby!!This week I sit down with Vishar Yaghoubian, CEO and Co-Founder of Toothpod (U Corp), a dental smart gum designed to clean teeth when brushing isn’t an option. We talk about:- Meeting at a poker tournament and the benefits of putting yourself in random rooms - SOLID tips on how to craft a pitch that best represents you (Vishar has earned 6 figures for her business through 1st place prizes in pitch competitions so she is someone to learn from!)- Towards the end of the episode she shares her experience undergoing hypnotherapy and the benefits she's uncovered from it (many successful Founders have spoken about exploring this and it is fascinating to hear about!!) Enjoy!

35. Part 1: Savouring Life's Little Moments with Palak Dave
This episode was one of the most impactful for me this year, so much so, that I'm releasing it on video and making it a 2 part special.
Palak is the Founder and CEO of Embiria {experience}, a speaker, investor and author of the newly released book Beautiful Everydays: A Guide to Living in the Here and Now.
Through her work, she inspires a shift away from digital distractions toward embracing in person experiences, gatherings and the beauty of living life in the present moment.
In our conversation, Palak catches me in a tough moment where I acknowledge how little time is spent (after work, sleep, chores, errands) on cultivating true joy. She teaches me the importance of and how to find the joyful moments in the little everyday things.
In part 2, I'm going to share some real takeways I implemented from this episode and their impact along with a resource guide on what has helped me cultivate more joy.
