Chapter 1: How did Rachini Moosavi's upbringing shape her identity?
I think it really took me getting into my late 30s, early 40s before I finally felt comfortable with knowing exactly who I am. You have to ask for what you want for. It's so easy to wait for folks to recognize you and to recognize that you have something to contribute. But, you know, oftentimes I've found that no one's really going to offer that up.
A lot of times we just let fate. But then if you just rely on fate, you may miss out on what was truly to be yours.

Thanks, Ed, for having me on today.
Yeah, it's great to have you. You're such a great person in the industry, a great personality, a great executioner, a great leader helping sort of lead the way for other organizations as well as they follow everything that you're all doing with analytics. So great to have you. Hey, we met just a few years ago. I was down in North Carolina and we had dinner.
We had a few others join us and we were talking about writing in a book and you came through for me and you helped put together one of our Voices of Innovation books. And it's been fabulous, helped raise a lot of money for cancer research. So thank you also for being part of that book.
It's just such a great thing that you do with these books. It helps us all to learn, but it also giving back to cancer research. I mean, a win-win, right? Sharing and gaining for the whole society. I just love it.
But Jeannie, you know, the most important question we'll be talking about is what songs are on your playlist? What kind of music do you like to listen to?

Chapter 2: What pivotal moment changed Rachini's career trajectory?
And so it's always just nice to have somebody who's willing to tell you you're wrong. Like sisters are great for that. Oftentimes, coworkers will just tell you, yes, I like having people who tell me no. And my sister is wonderful for saying that's wonderful, but have you thought about?
That's super important to surround yourself with people like that. And it's very nice that it happens to be one of them is your sister because, you know, you're in the same community. What about parents? So was there ever a time when your parents forced you to do something and you sort of rolled your eyes? But looking back today, you're like, I'm glad they made me do that.
I to this day, I wish that was true for piano because they tried at five. But I was one of those five year olds who couldn't sit still. And I unfortunately quit and I kicked myself today for that. But but I will say that, you know, for me, it was probably math. So being in an analytics position, my early days was not to really care for or get excited about math. But I had a lot.
I have a lot of great memories growing up getting help from my parents. I mean, I still remember the Pythagorean theorem and I couldn't figure it out. And my dad doesn't know how to just open a book and say, do steps one through three. He has to derive the Pythagorean theorem for me first. Right. But what a wonderful memory. Right.
To really find an individual who did something 20 to 30 years back and could really teach it to you again and find his excitement in it and then to be able to bring that forward to to see how I can apply it to my life.
Yeah. What about a situation where your three kids are now graduating? And let's just say the timing works out that they're all graduating at the same time. And you're asked to be the person that comes in and gives the speech.
What are one or two admonishments or encouragements that you would give the younger generation just graduating, could be high school, could be college, to really focus on not just in career, but in life?
I would definitely say to them that life is a meandering path that we we often like to talk about and ask the question of where are you going to be in five years? And I think it's perfectly OK to say, I don't know. Yeah, because what that means is you are open to the journey and that journey does not need to be predefined and defined. And that's perfectly okay, right?
I think there's an entire generation of kids that define success way too strictly, and it creates anxiety for them. And they just need to know that so many of us that are successful, if you look at our career paths, they weren't straight lines. They were a series of steps, missteps sometimes, sidesteps, backsteps, right?
