Community Brings Clarity | Founder of Shanti House Louisa Li

Elevator 228: Louisa Li is the Founder of Shanti House, a conscious-living and wellness community in NYC for innovators, and Urban Iron, a hybrid running and functional fitness race. She spent a decade as a management consultant for Fortune 500 companies before leaving corporate life to consult in wellness tech and focus on mission-driven ventures.

In this podcast, Louisa discusses the surprising lack of mindfulness at founder events and why traditional networking often fuels burnout, not mental health. She shares why creating spaces that prioritize wellness, like Shanti House, is essential for founders to manage stress, calm their nervous systems, and gain the clarity needed to build resilient businesses.
