In this episode I talk to my friend and a friend to many who come in contact with him, Anand Kapoor. Anand is an high flying exec in IT. He is also a cyclist, a runner and a triathlete. By his own admission, not a very fast one. But, what he lacks in speed is more than made up by the amount of fun he has in doing any of those activities and the amount of joy he spreads among those who he adopts as his friends. In this episode we talk about his and my favorite tour, Tour of Nilgiris, what makes him tick, what keeps him happy and how he manages to do all that he does. It is always a joy to be around him and this conversation was no different. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

About the Podcast

The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future.

Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job.
