In this special episode of the ChessMood Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Rao Srikumar — bestselling author, TED speaker, and former professor at some of the world’s top business schools.

Known as the “FedEx guy” for delivering timeless wisdom in modern language, Dr. Rao has mentored thousands of elite entrepreneurs and thinkers. In this deep, honest, and often surprising conversation with GM Avetik, they explore:

✅ Emotional mastery in life and chess

✅ Letting go of anger and attachment

✅ The idea of destiny and control

✅ Why happiness isn't something you pursue

✅ And how chess mirrors the inner battles we all face

A masterclass in self-discovery and emotional freedom — with some chess stories and laughs along the way.
