Today I’m joined by Sanya Rajpal, Founder and CEO of AdagioVR.

Sanya is an Activist, International Development Expert and Serial Entrepreneur dedicated to transforming systems that unleash individual potential - and a truly remarkable individual in her own right.

She built her first company while at Law School, Dignifly, with the goal to empower people to transform their own lives and solve problems in their communities and the world.

She then went on to the UN to focus on growing tech entrepreneurship ecosystems before co-founding her latest venture, AdagioVR with her father.

AdagioVR is a mental health and high-performance startup using cutting-edge clinical and therapeutic techniques that drive preventative mental wellbeing and behaviour change through Virtual Reality.

Now, I'm often skeptical about VR being applied to lots of, in my opinion, not very useful use cases. But this is one where I have personally used the tech, and for me it was genuinely game changing, helping me work through some trauma that I have put a lot of time and therapy into, and hasn't made the same difference.

So personally, I am honestly forever grateful to Sanya already for the work she's done.

In this episode we discuss:

What Nobel Prize winner and social entrepreneur Muhammad Yunus told Sanya about creating change
How to secure leverage in business
When your strength becomes your weakness
Being told you’re the wrong person to front your own venture if you raise - hello, a lot of bias
Why it’s time to let go of funding FOMO
