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.
Welcome to Digital Voices, where healthcare and life science leaders explore the real work behind transformation. This podcast is about people, leadership, and the conversations that move healthcare forward. Now your host, Ed Marks.
Welcome to another edition of Digital Voices. So excited to be with you. Again, thank you for listening. We know you have a lot of choices, and thanks to you, we're number four in the world. And part of the reason is great guests like Rachini Musabi. Rachini, welcome to Digital Voices.
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?
And you're just going to laugh at me, right? So I'm one of those I-like-everything kind of people. So if I'm running, it's usually a mix of hip-hop, rap, or rock, hard rock, right? If I'm just, you know, relaxing, it could be anything. Honestly, country, pop, you name it, it's all on the playlist. But if I'm writing or I'm developing a PowerPoint, it has to be classical music. I just can't have words, and I love the peacefulness of it.
Yeah, love it. That's cool. What about life message or mantra? Are there words that sort of guide you that you live by?
Yeah, people sometimes make fun of me when I say this, but I picked up my personal motto from a Disney movie. And it's really just one of those impactful things where, you know, you're watching Cinderella and the next minute you're like, oh, my gosh, that makes such perfect sense. And, you know, the mom in the Disney movie said, have courage and be kind. And so I've adopted that as my life mantra, and I've tacked on just one more piece of that. It's have courage, be kind, stay curious. And those are the words that I try to live by.
I love that. That's good. Yeah, we can pick up wisdom from all sorts of unusual sources. So I love that. That's awesome. So tell us a little bit about yourself. Like, where did you grow up?
I am a first-generation American. My parents moved here from Sri Lanka and started... college over in Illinois. And when you grow up that way, just like everybody else, you're the first generation, you kind of straddle worlds, right? You're part American and you're part whatever culture you come from. For me, that was Sri Lankan. So I've always had a little bit of an identity crisis. I think it really took me getting into my late 30s, early 40s before I finally felt comfortable with knowing exactly who I am. But yeah, I mean, being Sri Lankan means there's a lot of great food, great community. We do a lot of things to celebrate together in those types of communities. And, you know, lots of laughter and fun and dancing and viola, the music that they dance to.
