When we are unhappy with ourselves and our career things can really start to spiral and that’s exactly what happened for Kapil Kulshreshtha.

Despite having what many would consider a very successful career, he found the passion and direction was lacking.

He started lying about why he couldn’t come into the office and things went down hill from there until his days felt full of rejection, despondency, boredom and even depression.

But after getting help and turning things around he is now a successful author, Tedx speaker and coach.

In this episode Kapil shares:

How he struggled comparing himself to his successful twin
What happened when he was fired from Microsoft
How no matter how successful he was it never felt like enough
How bad everything got for him in his professional life
How experience with his arranged marriage
The lies he told to get out of going to work
How his wife helped him recover
The power of hope
How coaches have helped him
The key things that changed him
The instant flip and how it can change your life
His pride in his daughters

Key Quotes

“In the beginning it's always a hidden shame and you don’t articulate it. So it just stays with you.”

“Who would you like to be, somebody who gets a million dollar lottery or someone who makes a million dollars.”
