I had the very special opportunity to speak to Dr. Yogananth Andiappan, a true Yoga Guru from India, that started his life long dedication to Yoga at soon as he was born. His father and mother were full time Yoga Researcher, Instructor and Practitioner with the goal of bringing yoga to as many people as possible, from the therapeutic perspective. He inherited the family tradition and spent decades building his practice from India to Hong Kong and now reaching a massive global audience. His yoga school has a line-up of all Indian instructors not only helping people practice yoga but also focus on training yoga teachers with his only philosophy. He even created a NGO through which he pays for volunteers that want to become instructors to help out special needs groups that cannot afford yoga classes. Yogananth is currently working on a book with his two sons to bring a new perspective of how kids can get into yoga at a young age.

Before this interview, I sat through a 60-minute class with him and 40 students and yoga instructors in training and felt the distinctive difference between any other yoga classes I have taken. As much as yoga is portrayed as achieving all the fancy poses in social media, he teaches the world the mindset of yoga. It is the constant battling with one's body to slowly achieving those poses over time that one's mind is trained to overcome the biggest obstacles lying in front of us.

The company was founded in 2014 with a Kickstarter Campaign and now has created full certified K12 curriculum in both U.K. & U.S. markets. Joachim will tell how he took his initial ideas to making an Edtech product that is transforming how kids worldwide are learning not just coding but the fundamentals of computational thinking starting in even kindergartens.

TechJack is a tech entrepreneur that loves listening to podcast while doing his daily 10k run so it feels less suffering. He wants to bring on amazing tech founders and leaders that are typically too focused on building their companies and not telling their personal stories. Every success started with a vision, very often something that nobody understood. But overtime, the rare ones were able to convince the world that their brilliance should be taken seriously.
