This week on the podcast we are joined by Rishi Paparaiya. Rishi is a best-selling author and former executive. After years of working his way up the corporate ladder, he left his corporate job to spend his time doing what he loves – traveling, writing, and mentoring start-ups.
In this episode of the podcast, Rishi shares his journey of growing his corporate career, traveling for work, and what it was like making the leap into writing full-time.
