TEDM – Dhiren Master – Lessons of a Master (Episode 178)

Dhiren Master starts his bio with this: “I have failed more times than I have succeeded (LOL!).” That appropriately sets the stage for Dhiren’s humility, humour, and self-awareness in this conversation.

Dhiren has lived and worked in 10 countries across 5 continents including Kenya, UK, Netherlands, France, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, USA, Canada, and Brazil. He spent a decade in strategy consulting culminating in being a Partner at Monitor Company, another decade in various corporate roles – he was Head of Strategy Worldwide for BG Group a £70bn market cap company advising the Board where to invest £1bn annually across 26 countries at age 33 – and over a decade as an entrepreneur. He is currently on his 8th start-up. 

He won a scholarship to study Engineering at Cambridge University and received an MBA with Distinction from INSEAD, Europe’s top business school at the time.

Dhiren has held leadership roles in numerous industries, has won marketing awards, holds 4 engineering patents (working on the 5th), speaks three languages, completed a triathlon and half marathon, plays the guitar, paints, and really enjoys doing Karaoke impersonations of Elvis. He has a self-published book on Amazon called “Second Chance” and is currently working on another book titled "Musings: Thoughts on metaphysics, spirituality and people." 

Dhiren’s passion is to be a firebrand for radical love and spiritual truth.

To say Dhiren is a highly accomplished individual is certainly correct, but in this episode Dhiren speaks more in depth about his life beyond the accomplishments. Dhiren shares his experience with depression, self-examination, and the changes he chose to make through self-realization. Dhiren shares his spiritual journey and the path it led him to, plus insightful guidance in the face of depression, in support of growth, life-change, and creating our reality. Listen in as Patrick and Dhiren reconnect, have some laughs, and discuss significance, personal growth, higher purpose, and spreadsheets.
