What if the key to revolutionizing the way we lead and create lasting impact lies not in force, but in soft power—and aligning with the intelligence of nature? In this episode, I talk with Miki Agrawal about how she’s reimagining leadership and sustainability from the ground up.
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with my dear friend and trailblazing entrepreneur Miki Agrawal—founder of Thinx, Tushy, and her newest venture, HIRO Technologies—for a powerful conversation about the future of leadership, regeneration, and innovation.
Miki opens up about her journey of building multiple 9-figure businesses while embracing a radically different model of leadership—one rooted in soft power, collaboration with nature, and deep self-love. We dive into what it means to lead from feminine principles, how she’s balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why conscious capitalism is more than just a buzzword—it’s a way forward.
She also shares the mission behind HIRO Technologies and their game-changing vision for eco-friendly diapers, along with her fascination with the incredible potential of plastic-eating mushrooms to help heal our planet.
If you’re an entrepreneur, changemaker, or simply someone who wants to live and lead with more alignment, sustainability, and purpose, this conversation is filled with insights and inspiration to support your path.
Let’s rise into a new way—together.
“Soft power is about radiating from the inside out—it’s a framework for leading with gentleness and strength.” –Miki Agrawal
