Wholehearted weaves together Adnan H. Mirza’s experiences from across five continents, ranging from racing sailplanes across the sky with the best pilots in the world, to his adventures on Wall Street with legendary traders, to his journeys into the intriguing world of healthcare and life sciences.
Adnan always had a natural inclination to explore beyond the boundaries of modern society. Through a chance encounter with experiencing “the zone” in a national sporting event, Adnan became fascinated with how he could utilise the inner world of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and intentions to influence the outer world of not only competitive sports but also trading and entrepreneurship.
Wholehearted details a set of seven principles that are the crossroads of entrepreneurship, high performance, and spirituality - helping readers discover their own paths to finding purpose, taking the leap, and doing the best work of their lives.
Adnan H. Mirza is the Managing Director at Heartbeat Ventures, a purpose-driven venture capital and advisory company that scales solutions for a healthier world.
His career has ranged from working on Wall Street and riding the dot-com bubble in the nineties to advising multinationals in the high-tech and life sciences sectors around the world on corporate strategy—interspersed with occasional sabbaticals and entrepreneurial adventures in places ranging from Burma to Botswana as well as a brief stint studying economics and financial markets at the University of Chicago.
He received master’s degree in Business Administration from the Rotterdam School of Management and a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech.
In addition to an adventurous 25-year career blending corporate and entrepreneurial life across five continents, Adnan was a passionate aviator and flight instructor and placed amongst the top 10 pilots of the world at the 2004 World Gliding Championships.
