Before Babar Arshadever launched a company, wrote a check, or mentored a founder, two things guided him: hunger and honesty. In this episode, Babar shares how those values shaped every pivot of his life from selling pharmacy franchises at 21 to stepping into entrepreneurship, making bold decisions that cost him money, and staying anchored to the roots that define him.

He talks about the culture of human connection he grew up with, what surprised him most when he came to the U.S., and how surrounding himself with “abnormal people” made entrepreneurship feel less risky and more natural. Babar opens up about the startups that failed, the ones that worked, and why he actually looks forward to what failure will teach him. He also explains his belief in divine timing, giving back 10%, and why most young entrepreneurs don’t need capit they need consistency, community, and someone who believes in them enough to hold them accountable.
