Send us a textIn this episode, I interview Pradip Patiath, currently a senior partner at McKinsey & Company. Pradip shares how serendipity molded his career and personal life paths. He recounts his journey working for Schlumberger in Europe to studying computer science in the twin cities to earning his MBA, the happy coincidences as well as the personal challenges including his brother's illness, and how his close-knit circle of friends and family helped him overcome those challenges and find his best self.  He shares with me his belief in the meaningfulness of the Johari Window - how he let his close friends’ perception of him guide him at crucial points of his life.Pradip also reflects on his philosophies regarding parenting. He shares four values he holds crucial to living meaningfully and hopes to see his daughter practice them as well.  His earnestness as a dad comes through deeply in how he expresses that his daughter is the most important part of his legacy. The conversation also touches on his future aspirations involving community work, teaching, and continuing to impact friends and family positively.00:00 Introduction to Pradip00:42 Journey to the U.S.02:41 Life in the Twin Cities06:09 Challenges and Serendipity13:16 The Importance of Friendship20:00 Parenting and Values27:28 Future Aspirations30:54 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsThe Johari window that Pradip alludes to is explained here:https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/psychology/johari-windowMore about Pradip at https://www.linkedin.com/in/pradippatiath?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appFollow me on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected and for more podcast episode updates:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bindia.puri.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indianamericanexperienceTo contact me directly with questions or about being a guest on my show, email me here: [email protected]
