ContraMinds Podcast - Unlocking Personal Growth and Professional Excellence
Hosted by Sivaraman Swaminathan (Swami), this show decodes what goes on behind the minds of people who strive to achieve mastery, excellence, and success in their business or profession. It explores their life purpose, motivations and inspiration, and attempts to understand their personal growth journey. We try to understand the why behind what they do and how they are successfully accomplishing what they set out to do in their lives.
You can discover the mental models of these high performers, who are career achievers and leaders in their own right and seek to learn from their practices and experiences. The conversation dives deep into their lifelong learning methods, personal development and self-improvement strategies that they work on, their workplace rituals or practices that have made them successful in their business, startup, or entrepreneurial journey.
These conversations will inspire you, open your mind to new possibilities and help you reimagine your purpose, goals, and practices to become extraordinary in both your life and career.
