Nanea Reeves - Founder and CEO of TRIPP

Play your career to win

Here is one thing I am 100% confident in. You’ve never met someone like Nanea Reeves. Learning from Nanea, getting her advice, and hearing her incredibly bold, unique, and resilient story has genuinely changed my life and reshaped the way I think about my career.

Nanea Reeves is the Founder and CEO of TRIPP, an award-winning XR wellness company and the creators of the leading meditation app delivering "Mood on Demand" to users worldwide. Nanea is a gaming executive and serial entrepreneur with $1.6B in exits and a lifelong meditator who began the practice in her teens as a way to cope with trauma. She founded TRIPP in 2017 following a period of tremendous loss, to use technology in order to expand access to mindfulness around the world.

We discuss…

• How and why to play your career as a game, and to play to win

• How Nanea broke the game rules by going over her direct manager’s head to pitch her idea to the CEO saying “If I fail, you can fire me. If I don't, I want to be promoted to Vice President” - Spoiler alert: She got promoted and earned a seat on the management team.

• The inspiration behind TRIPP, her mission to meet people where they are with the question, “How do you feel right now?” and her drive to use technology to help them feel betterr

• How her childhood and being “raised by wolves” made her into a “tough little fierce warrior girl” and how she looks back at herself as a young teen and goes “look what we did”

• The gift of a meditation practice and supportive inner voice

Nanea, thank you for being so generous with your time. Your willingness to share your story and your mission to help others continues to inspire me. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from you and share this with others.
