Shivnath or Shiv as we call him is in a Sales and GTM leadership role at Deloitte. I had interacted for this episode with Shiv when he was leading Partnerships for Persistent for Asia Pacific previously.  He lives with a condition called spondylitis and he's really been inspirational in finding a balance on how to live with it and get better with the passage of time and that's exactly what interested me to speak to Shivnath and find out more about how he balances his life and his profession.

Shiv and I were colleagues in the previous company. I always admired him for his confidence and approach to business and we struck a good cord together. I happened to speak to him and learned of how he juggles his life despite his condition and that prompted me to seek him to tell his story through this podcast episode and also in much greater detail in the chapter you would read in the book - Reverse and Onward, which is slated to be published in early 2023.
