What does it take to work your way up? What does it take to keep improving yourself? What does it take to consistently grow in life? Some of the (many, many, many) answers to these questions can be found in this episode.
My guest today is Udbhav Desai, and he is nothing less than a prime example of what it means to work your way up. He has achieved a lot of success, all at a pretty young age. As he explains in this episode, he is always looking for new things to learn, ways to grow, and methods for achieving the most out of a situation. His drive to not only succeed but overachieve is evident.
Udbhav was born in the state of Gujarat India. He moved to Toronto, Canada in second grade, and then New Jersey in sixth grade. He attended Northwestern University, earning a Bachelors and Masters in Chemical Engineering and a minor in Geography, as well as graduating Magna Cum Laude. He then spent 5 years in Madison, Wisconsin working for Epic Systems in numerous analytics-focused roles, from Solution Engineering to managing to Business Intelligence Engineering. Now, he works for Alight Solutions as a Senior Manager of Business Intelligence and Analytics. Alongside his impressive business career, he loves staying actively involved in dance opportunities, seizing guest roles whenever possible.
In this episode, Udbhav talks about numerous ways that he achieved and now maintains his success. He discusses how he constantly looked for ways to go above and beyond in college to get the most out of his education. He explains the importance of balancing confidence and humility. He touches on what he calls the work-life swing (and why he calls it that). And he states that instead of waiting your turn for success, you should "make it your turn." That is just scratching the surface of the ideas Udbhav has to offer on this topic. It's clear that Udbhav has reflected deeply on how he achieved his success and the mental state required to continue to grow and improve in life. Today, he shares that knowledge with you!
