Summit of Greatness 2025 Early Bird Now Open! | September 12-13 | Los Angeles, CA
Today more than ever, what we DO has become who we ARE. Oftentimes, our entire identity is tied to our profession – an entrepreneur, a creative professional, a movie maker, a banker, an investor, a personal trainer. While our passions should be a component of our identity, it’s important to remember that we as human beings go SO much deeper than that.
Who we are goes beyond what we do during the day to make a living – so be sure to take the time that’s necessary to discover who you REALLY are, not only what your LinkedIn profile says you do. If you struggle with this, first off, know that you AREN’T alone and it’s extremely common.
Secondly, you’re in luck! Because my guest today is going to show us how to dig deeper to discover our true selves. Her name is Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, and in today’s wide-ranging conversation, she’s going to take us through her own journey of self-discovery and show us how we can do the same. Please help me give her a warm welcome to The School of Greatness!
