A Short History of Nearly Everything

Richa Prasad, Co- Founder & CEO of Coach Viva, shares how she went from not-knowing-what-to-do - to working for big tech - to founding a behavior change-based weight loss company that happily marries her passions + purpose + love of learning.

She got here by experimenting with what I call “Life Pivots,” experience-driven experiments that weren’t haphazard, but done “on purpose” by continuously fine-tuning and following her inner guidance system. You may completely change the way you approach life and how you question your own thinking after listening to this episode!

Topics Explored:

  • Deciding on cultural fit.
  • How university + tech experience taught her what she REALLY loves.
  • Don’t sit down to “figure out passion” - Instead, use previous experience + feelings to decide what to try next.
  • Lifestyle-driven decision-making
  • Commit to a decision WHILE making room for Informed Mind-Changing
  • Spot hints of what’s meant for you vs what you think you SHOULD do.
  • “What is the life I want to live?”
  • Why time & energy is never truly “wasted” when you do things that aren’t aligned.
  • “If you enjoy it and love it, even if you stop doing it, it comes back into your life.”
  • What it really means to “enjoy your work.”
  • “Is this an internal story or is this actually related the subject?”
  • Are you playing the Game vs Meta-game? Choosing the wrong game can take you down the wrong direction.
  • How everyone defines “meaning” differently.
  • Why create a company around health, fitness, and behavior change?
