How does one change its personality? Let’s take a look at an example of this industry expert whose 2.0 version inspires millions.
We hear a lot about how people transform their lives, achieving their goals and establishing strong identities over an industry, community or let’s just say globally. Today, we dig a little deeper into the life of a renowned personality, Meet Dedhia, a transformational strategist, digital freelancer, and motivational speaker whose life started turning around 6 years ago.
Meet says his version 1.0, before 2021 was completely opposite to what it is today. He was smart but an average student, a party animal and wouldn’t take things seriously about his academics. He would always overthink and stress about not having a plan for the future whereas his classmates would be ready with their future plans about their careers. Well, who would get their life planned if they’d just keep playing all day, binge watch series and do nothing productive at all? It was after his graduation and some heated arguments within the family, he realized there is a responsibility over his shoulders and it’s time to do something. Inspite of facing all the family struggles, he took an internship, started focusing on his career and understood that it’s okay to start a journey towards life with a delay. He got a job at a marketing agency and identified his potential and interests in the digital space.
At this point, one could say that Meet is a working professional and has a stable job, but is that what he wanted? No. He switched his job in search of more learning and exposure towards the industry. He would get anxious and feel helpless about not being able to grow like he wanted to. There was no one to direct him. But there was no stopping him either. Meet joined the Digital Deepak internship programme which he regretted not taking it a few batches sooner due to other commitments. He is grateful to his mentor, Deepak Kanakaraju, who helped him amplify his vision through the internship. ‘This was the turnaround that I needed the most’ says Meet.
Version 2.0 — Whats new?
In 2021, Meet made up his mind and took it upon himself to change his life around. He made it a priority to spend all the remaining days of his life productively to pursue his dreams. He has changed his past habits and improvised on his personality. He trained his brain to be more thoughtful, his youtube/bing watching sessions changed to watching tedx and playing games turned into learning new skills. It’s 2027 now. Meet is a successful freelancer and a digital strategist helping various organizations build themselves. Meet doesn’t just help build clients their organizations, he has always been empathic (due to experiencing various psychological events in the past), has an eye for detail and understands that to build a business, one should first build and transform themselves. Meet has influenced the youth to focus on their health and mental/spiritual wellbeing and volunteers to take up the responsibilities of educating and grooming the personality of children who are grieving from loss of their parents. Meet says his digital marketing skills are what made him reach out to people out there and to provide them insights with his life experiences.
Meet has been consistent about his new approach towards life, evolving himself daily. He is now settled in a town with his wife and a daughter. He wakes up early in the morning, meditates and works out, follows a neat diet, reads self-developing books and enjoys his family time. He still enjoys occasional parties. His passion towards helping people and achieving success both together played a major role towards his ambitions of doing great things in life. Meet says, ‘’ You ought to go through multiple breakdowns to get that ‘breakthrough moment’ in your life’’. Meet is now a motivational speaker at 99U, Big Think and has made his debut in Ted Talks in 2025. Meet inspires millions of people with his motto of ‘Dream Big, Achieve Big and Earn Big’. Meet says that his future plans include establishing an NGO on a global level, owning a Tesla and introducing a programme for a healthy engagement practice of people who are connected digitally and socially. Meets concludes by saying ‘Face hardships but don’t let the outcome affect your life’.
