What happens when a fast-talking businessman swaps profits for purpose? Sri Akarshana isn’t your average entrepreneur. From dropping out of school to building successful companies, battling burnout, and transforming his life through spirituality and sobriety, this episode is a raw, no-filter look at what it really takes to evolve.

We talk building a brand from scratch, how breathwork and mindset saved his life, and the dangers of losing yourself in the grind. If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing the wrong goals, this one’s your wake-up call.

From addiction to ambition, breathwork to branding, Sri Akarshana’s story is a blueprint for breaking cycles and building something real.
