I will have no regret in life if I fall dead right now...
It was 2012 and I had just acquired my Personal Trainer certification.
I needed someone as a guinea pig to hone up my newly learned skills.
That's when Dr. Bhuvan Unhelkar trusted me and took the risk.đ
We were friends for a couple of years by now.
We started to meet at 5 am every morning in the field to jog and perform a series of exercises.
During one of those huffing and puffing moments,Â
I vividly recall Bhuvan sayingÂ
"you know what Ehsan, I will have no regret in life if I fall dead right now...."
Seriously?Â
I had not known anybody who could say that.Â
I still don't know anybody other than him.
Coming to the topic,Â
Bhuvan has had an incredible professional life as well.
He started just like most IT professionals way back in 1982Â
The last IT job he had was that of the Product Development Manager at Dow Jones in Sydney.
Today he is a professor of Information Technology in Florida, USA.Â
He is a thought leader and a prolific author with 24 books in his name.Â
He is the founder of 2 companies.
He is an engaging keynote speaker and trainer.
Currently, his areas of focus are Big Data, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, and more...
[I am afraid I can't contain his all interests in one sentence]
He ran his first full marathon at the age of 61 this yearÂ
In this episode of the EmpoweringIndianExpats podcast, he talks about
- Value of education
- Career growth strategies - it's not always vertical upward, horizontal growth could be equally rewarding
- Current industry trends
- Learnings from his journey
- Power of Community and Volunteering
- Mindfulness and power of living in the moment
- Importance of doing nothing in this modern busy lifestyleÂ
- Mentorship
- People and books that influenced his thoughts and decisionsÂ
- Beautiful discovery of zero - no starting pointÂ
It surprises me to this day how he is so productive and still finds time for friends.
I am honored and privileged to bring his wisdom out to the world.
Listen to the whole conversation ...
