In this profound conversation, Sharad Lal shares how losing his wife and newborn twins during childbirth transformed his understanding of success, purpose, and what it truly means to live well.

Sharad, co-founder of The How to Live Company and host of a top 3% global podcast, reveals his journey from devastating grief to renewed purpose. Having advised companies like Google, MasterCard, and Unilever, he brings unique insights on how personal tragedy reshaped his approach to leadership and life.

Key moments in this conversation:

How shifting from "why me?" to "what now?" became his first step toward healing

Why chasing external success left him empty and how he found integration between achievement and meaning

How unprocessed grief affects leadership and decision-making

The intersection between being neurodivergent and developing deep empathy

Finding purpose in everyday moments rather than grand missions

Embracing fatherhood after loss and what it taught him about presence

As Sharad says, "To live well is to be deeply connected to yourself and to make a difference in someone else's life."

Whether you're navigating loss, questioning your definition of success, or simply seeking more meaning in your daily life, this conversation offers gentle wisdom for the journey forward.
