Backbone Not Wishbone

If you’re into detailed and specific tactics for success in business & achieving wellness, and want to hear from someone who’s seen and done a lot, you’re in the right place! I wasn’t born in this country, I didn’t go to college, I’ve had to file for bankruptcy, hide from collectors, had my car repossessed, and my electricity shut off. I did a terrible job of managing work/life “balance” and prioritizing my needs. I’ve been the employer and the employee, done the firing and been fired… I am your friend that’s done a lot, seen a lot, fucked up a lot, yet ultimately managed to achieve both success and happiness. In the same time :) This show is a career and business step-by-step roadmap, with self-help and wellness elements at every check point because... what good is success if you’re a f*****g basket case? The tips are tangible and the tactics super granular. I know you’ll love it, so let’s do this!

    Divya Gugnani On How To Avoid Business Mistakes, Balance Work/Personal Lives & The Best Advice She Ever Got.

    Divya Gugnani is co-founder and CEO of Wander Beauty – a company creating clean, everyday beauty essentials for wherever you wander. She is a serial entrepreneur, a mom, a business powerhouse and she’s here to share her very powerful knowledge and experience.  Little warning, there was a network issue at first (which you may hear), but that got corrected within the first few minutes. What I love about this episode (aside from the wealth of inspo & information) is the flow. So grab a tea, a snack, and get ready to listen to 45 minutes that flow like a conversation between 2 CEO friends.
