37. Poker, Pitching and Hypnotherapy with Vishar Yaghoubian
We're back baby!!
This week I sit down with Vishar Yaghoubian, CEO and Co-Founder of Toothpod (U Corp), a dental smart gum designed to clean teeth when brushing isn’t an option.
We talk about:
- Meeting at a poker tournament and the benefits of putting yourself in random rooms
- SOLID tips on how to craft a pitch that best represents you (Vishar has earned 6 figures for her business through 1st place prizes in pitch competitions so she is someone to learn from!)
- Towards the end of the episode she shares her experience undergoing hypnotherapy and the benefits she's uncovered from it (many successful Founders have spoken about exploring this and it is fascinating to hear about!!)
Enjoy!
