Gopi Kallayil: The Happy Human

Harmony Slater
About this episode

Dear Happy Humans!

It is with great pleasure that we introduce you today to an old friend, Gopi Kallayil! He’s an old friend of Russell’s. They met during his Silicon Valley yoga-missionary days during a very special dinner with Rep. Tim Ryan, “the Mindful Congressman,” at a time when it seemed that mindfulness and yoga would inevitably pervade every aspect of American life. Now though, Russell is a bit more bearish on the future of human civilization. Let’s see if Gopi can talk some sense in him!

Gopi Kallayil is the Chief Evangelist, head of Digital Transformation and Strategy at Google. What that exactly means… We’re going to unpack it inside this episode!

In addition to being an avid yoga practitioner and teacher, Gopi is a triathlete, public speaker, global traveler, and Burning Man devotee. He has spoken at TEDx, The World Happiness Summit, and Wisdom 2.0.

He is the author of two books, “The Happy Human” and “The Internet to the Inner-net,” published by Hay House.

He has released three music albums titled “Kirtan Lounge.”

Gopi holds a guest faculty position at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. He serves on the Board of Directors of Grameen Foundation, USA. He’s also a Board Advisor to several venture funded startups in Silicon Valley.
