    When You Come So Close To Death & Survive... - 9/11 survivor Kushal Choksi (ep. 910)

    Kushal Choksi is an investment analyst-turned-entrepreneur, 9/11 survivor, and author.

    His book chronicles his narrow escape from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and the emotional journey towards redemption that followed.

    Managing to narrowly escape, he witnessed the magnitude of death and destruction up close and was plunged into lengthy depression where he found himself believing life was meaningless.

    Today, Kushal and his wife run Elements Truffles, a New York-based artisanal chocolate company built on values of Ayurveda, sustainability, giving back and ethical trade.
