Saneel Radia, Chief Innovation Officer for R/GA, looks back on balancing his Indian life with his non-Indian life growing up in San Antonio, Texas. He recalls memorable moments from sharing his aspirations of a career in advertising with his father (who responded with "What type of engineering is that?") to the feeling of being recognized by his industry heroes as he was inducted into the AAF Advertising Hall of Achievement. Saneel also shares the importance of modeling work/life balance for his teams and giving yourself the flexibility to change your definition of success throughout your career.
