In this episode, Tara sits down with entrepreneur Vivek Bhaskaran, founder of QuestionPro, to unpack the Butterfly Goal he avoided for two decades — learning how to drive in India. What started as a terrifying personal challenge became a lesson in confidence, courage, and taking the first imperfect step. They explore why big goals live in our heads for years, how workplace culture can fuel personal growth, the “permission gap” that keeps people stuck, and what leaders can do to prevent burnout and reignite curiosity. If you have been postponing something that keeps tapping you on the shoulder, this conversation might be the nudge you need to finally stop waiting and start moving.

Vivek Bhaskaran is the founding member and Executive Chairman of QuestionPro, one of the industry's leading providers of web-based research technologies. As Chief Executive Officer, he plays a key role in defining the company strategy and using technology and innovation continuously to maintain its leadership in the industry.

He has played a pivotal role in QuestionPro's journey. In 2008, QuestionPro made Inc. magazine's list of the fastest-growing private companies, ranking 172nd overall and 25th among business-service providers.

Vivek completed his primary education in India before moving to Russia and then US. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Brigham Young University, Utah.
