Modern society has caused us to become completely distracted from the things we need for a joyful and healthy life. From clickbait media to polarizing politics and a food system driving new heights of chronic illness, we’ve reached a pivotal point where real change is required.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Scott Galloway, a bold leader who is willing to speak out about the pitfalls of modern society and offer solutions for how to unlock a healthier, happier, fitter you. In this episode, Dhru and Scott discuss the power of kindness toward yourself and others, why modern society is wreaking havoc on our younger generation’s self-confidence, especially men, and how to begin stepping into your power and purpose in a polarized world.
