Hey friends, today we spoke to Geetika Agrawal about her journey of being a collector of people’s stories, the path to becoming an architect in India, and overcoming the challenges of building your own business. Get the notepad out and enjoy the conversation! ◡̈

Geetika Agrawal is a designer and the founder and CEO of Vacation With An Artist (VAWAA), where she invites you to spend 3-7 days in the studio of a world-renowned artist, learning new skills and immersing yourself in local culture. She is driven by a belief that people are craving experiences that bring joy, fulfillment, and inspiration into their stressful lives.

Before founding VAWAA, Geetika spent 13 years crafting innovative products and experiences for top brands. Her career highlights include serving as Creative Director at R/GA, designing an immersive adventure game at Disney, and teaching interaction design at the School of Visual Arts. She also created "Food For Thought," a traveling dinner series across 12 countries. A resilient optimist, Geetika finds joy in dance, cooking, and gathering friends, turning to these passions when life’s challenges arise.

WHO ARE WE?

Josh Greene has spent his career building experiences that bring people together and guiding creative entrepreneurs on their journeys. From organizing music festivals attended by over 500,000 people, to living in an ashram in India, his path has been anything but traditional. He’s built and sold businesses, served as VP at WeWork, and is now the co-founder and CEO of Groove. Josh believes entrepreneurship is a sacred path that’s all about living authentically, building meaningful connections, and creating a life you love - on your own terms.

Taylor Harrington is obsessed with doing things differently. As the Head of Community at Groove, she helps remote workers and creatives find their flow, crush their to-do lists, and make genuine connections across the globe. Before Groove, Taylor worked with best-selling author, Seth Godin, in a role that came without a job title or description (talk about non-traditional!). She loves celebrating little wins, geeking out on ADHD-friendly focus tips, and designing gatherings that spark joy.

OUR MISSION

If you’re living and working in a way that’s in sync with who you are (or want to be doing that soon!), this pod is for you!

Each episode, we swap stories with guests who have found that the traditional path, the system, whatever you want to call it, isn’t set up for people like us.

We couldn’t fully be ourselves. So, we challenged the status quo and set off to carve our own paths. It hasn’t been easy, we’ve found that settling for a life that doesn’t light us up is even harder.

The podcast was created to help listeners like you feel less alone on this journey of doing things differently. Through stories and being in community with each other, we can avoid burnout, share bursts of encouragement, and inspire each other to keep going.

And, hey, when life throws us off track, we can help each other find our groove again.

This podcast is powered by Groove, the WFH coworking community that helps people live a purpose-driven life, through accountability, structure, and good vibes.
