In this episode, I’m sitting down with Vedad Fisic for a truly thought-provoking and inspiring conversation. Vedad brings a wealth of experience and insight shaped by his unique journey - from his challenging upbringing during the Bosnian War to building a life rooted in resilience, self-belief, and purpose.

Together, we explore a wide range of topics that will challenge the way you think about personal growth, relationships, and living a fulfilled life.

We dive into the lack of good male role models and how comparison on social media can distort our sense of self. Vedad shares his thoughts on the importance of helping each other grow, speaking your truth, and breaking free from societal norms - even when it means facing resistance.

We talk about finding balance - whether it’s between ego and self-belief, an open mind and critical thinking, or the pursuit of dreams and romantic relationships. Vedad also opens up about the power of having the right partner by your side, the lessons learned from failures, and why creating something you truly believe in is more rewarding than simply chasing money.

From learning how to embrace the journey, meet fears head-on, and put in the work every single day - even when it’s tough - to finding purpose, resisting burnout, and staying stoic while feeling emotions, this conversation is packed with wisdom and actionable insights.

Certainly a different yet motivating one - for me, I really respect how Vedad does things his way, and how dedicated he is to his life mission. We live in a world full of distractions, and there are a lot of hindrances in society that can throw us off track, so I find Vedad’s focus really inspiring.
