About this episode

Establishing a career is not an easy task. If you're currently undecided and unsure what career path to pursue, this podcast episode can help you. 

Planning to switch to a different career path or struggling with the job you have right now? My guest today is offering fresh insights and valuable life lessons. 

Today, I welcome Nimai Delgado, a vegan bodybuilder and fitness influencer widely recognized for his dedication to a plant-based lifestyle.

Nimai did not shy away from being open and honest about his journey. His vegan lifestyle started at a very young age in relation to his spiritual beliefs and personal values. Veganism isn't just about eating plants, there's more to it and it is truly life changing. 

The conversation turned deep and serious as we talked about how he felt the need to switch careers because he was unhappy, finding means to share a powerful message and reach more people, and how important it is to not rely on external validation and physical appearance. 

In this episode with Nimai Delgado, you'll learn:

- How to be financially independent

- The right way to live a vegan lifestyle

- How to bridge nutritional gaps when going vegan

- How to reflect on life and shift your priorities based on your reflection

- The advantages of tapping into what feels right and true for you

- How to master the things that you're good at

- How to not let external validation ruin your personal growth

Don't miss this life changing conversation about personal growth, self discovery, and making better career decisions.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
