In this episode I speak to Sidd Bhatt, who used to work in sales for Citibank and now runs a vegan lunch van.
Before he got into finance he was working for a solar start up fuel sustainable development in India.
But while studying for his MBA, the people he met made him think he would enjoy the challenge of working in finance.

He did, and was so successful he managed to increase his total compensation by a factor of 10, during his seven years at CitiBank.

What I find particularly inspiring is that he did that whilst staying true to his values. One of his biggest deals was financing the largest wind farm in the world.

It was also great to hear that other than his drive and curiosity, looking after his wellbeing and being himself were key to his success.

We also discussed:

- Why he left a solar start up to enter finance with no training or experience

- The lifestyle that nearly broke him and how he turned it around.

- What did he do to dramatically improve his performance at work

- Why it wasn't worth his time to learn golf

- Why 'fake it till you make it' is bullshit

- Why he left banking at the peak of his career to set up a vegan lunch company

- His advice for people who haven't found their purpose
