“It’s surprisingly easy to break a bad habit.” – ManeeshSethi

Maneesh Sethi is at his best when he can expresshimself verbally to others. Once he starts talking, ideas juststart pouring out. The extroverted tech entrepreneur has a widelist of accomplishments; from creating viral blog posts and Youtube videos, to writing software to create passiveincome businesses, to winning a Tim Ferriss competition. He’s alsobecome a famous DJ in Berlin as well as become RichardBranson’s guest on Neckar Island. Even though Maneesh has thecreativity and energy to start a lot of projects, one of hisbiggest problems is following through.

Motivated to finally hack his inability to focus, execute, andcomplete a project, Maneesh developed the Pavlok, anelectro-shocking wristband that helps its bearers break bad habits.Backed by several notable investors including Bolt, Dave Asprey,and JJ Virgin, this highly promising project looks to be the oneManeesh will stick with for a while.

In this high-octane episode, Maneesh shares his frustrationwith his inability to break bad habits, how he created Pavlok, whatpersonality types he works with best and how aversion therapy canhelp you quit smoking or even get a girlfriend.
