From WWE ring hype man to media mogul and girl dad, Dean Muhtadi has lived a thousand lives since walking away from wrestling, and he’s just getting started. In this episode, Saraya sits down with her longtime friend and fellow rulebreaker to unpack his chaotic rise from the NFL to WWE, surviving long-haul COVID, and building a powerhouse agency that redefines what life after sports can look like. They talk about walking away on your own terms, staying hyped through heartbreak, the genius of branding, and why love (and a little girl named Nova) changed everything. Honest, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving - this one’s all heart.
