He is a friend of ours first and everything else later. He’s someone we admire dearly and has been one of our loudest cheerleaders since the beginning! Mr. Prashant Desai is a trader, investor, entrepreneur, and now, biohacker! He’s on a mission to make sure we outlive our earlier generations and we think he’s going to get there sooner rather than later.
This episode is PACKED with nuances about formal education, trading, starting up, failing, and of course biohacking. Join us as our host Sayali Rai talks about Prashant’s experiences working with the best, failing at starting up, learning, moving on, and living on!
We hope you love this episode because we ALWAYS have a BLAST speaking with and learning from him. Share this with your friends and if you found it interesting, do leave us a comment with your thoughts on it!
