Deepak's journey with RHWB began in March 2019, and his wife Moni, daughter Diya, and son are also part of the running program. He has completed 7 half marathons, 5 full marathons, and 1 ultra marathon (50 miles). Completing the 50-mile run on October 9, 2021, changed his perspective on life. For Deepak, running is a form of meditation in motion, a time to connect with a higher consciousness and reflect. He often feels a divine presence during long runs and experiences no pain or suffering while running.
Deepak enjoys having deep, meaningful conversations on a variety of topics, always eager to learn from others' perspectives. He focuses on promoting positive self-talk, self-awareness, and building a strong self-image in those around him.
In addition to running, Deepak loves hiking mountain peaks or along riverbanks, feeling a connection to the natural world. He enjoys visiting new cities each year to sample local coffee, cheese, and bakery treats.
Deepak is also an avid podcast listener, tuning into discussions on running, life, philosophy, business, and dharmic living. He is committed to giving back to the community through charitable causes and hopes to one day understand the true meaning of life and leave a positive impact on the world.
