I knew this episode was going to blow my mind—but I didn’t expect it to realign my entire belief system. Vish Chatterji is not your typical executive coach. He’s also a Vedic astrologer, a dedicated yogi, and the author of The Business Casual Yogi and Astrology Decoded. We met at the Berkeley Coaches Conference (shoutout to the yogi lunch table!), and I instantly knew we had to record this. This conversation is for anyone who feels like they’re navigating dual identities—balancing intuition and analysis, crystals and KPIs.
Vish breaks down how yoga, Ayurveda, and astrology aren’t separate silos—they’re a three-legged stool for conscious leadership and personal alignment. We dive into the eight limbs of yoga, the power of personalized Ayurvedic practices (yes, that cold smoothie might be wrecking your productivity), and the surprisingly scientific logic behind Vedic astrology. And if you think astrology doesn’t belong in the boardroom? Vish will prove otherwise. Let’s just say… CEOs are more open than you think when Mercury starts retrograding.
In this episode, we discuss:
How do yoga and Ayurveda enhance leadership?
What’s the real difference between Vedic astrology and Western astrology?
The three doshas explained: Are you Vata, Pitta, or Kapha?
Can astrology be a legit tool in executive coaching?
Why chanting 'Om' might be the ultimate life hack

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
