In this episode….
Nishal Kumar is the CEO and Founder of No Days Wasted®, “scientifically-backed, functional supplements that help you maximize life’s moments”. He is passionate about basketball, entrepreneurship, and living life in balance fully aware of the present moment.
No Days Wasted® was born out of his desire to enjoy the social interaction of drinks at night with friends without sacrificing early morning productivity - the morning workouts he so enjoys - the following morning. It follows his belief in living a life in balance: not sacrificing in order to enjoy each moment. An entrepreneur at heart, Nishal believes in solving a problem for someone as the motivation behind his business and avoids the trap of believing the title of CEO is the goal.
In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter discusses time management and how “timing is everything” with Nishal Kumar. They discuss the origins of No Days Wasted®, Nishal’s recent appearance on Dragon’s Den, and how Nishal developed his business from idea to fruition with some key steps in place.
