Kunal Gupta is a master of non-attachment in a busy world. The serial entrepreneur who founded and led one of Canada's top digital advertising companies manages to maintain a monk-like detachment from his results.
But he wasn’t always this way.
Like many tech innovators, Gupta pushed hard to reach the career milestones he’d set out to achieve. Eventually, he had the job, the apartment, and the social life he’d always wanted, but something was still missing.
“I didn’t feel that sense of satisfaction, that sense of success that I was expecting to feel,” he says.
That’s when he began to reexamine his inner compass. He changed jobs and left downtown Toronto for Portugal, where he now starts his business meetings with a meditation practice. Though he still works in the tech sphere, Gupta has reframed the experiences he sees as successful.
So, what are the metrics Gupta is using now to evaluate his success?
In this episode, we'll speak about:
• Why Gupta felt lost when he reached his own pinnacle of personal and professional achievement and how he discovered a new version of success
• The metrics Gupta now uses to evaluate his own success (these are good!)
• How personal awareness helps him make the right choices in daily life… and how we can each increase our own awareness
• What quality is most important to Gupta today and how he is accessing it for himself
***Gupta also leads us through a brief meditation at the start of the episode
