As an UK-born Iranian, Sina speaks about what it was like to grow up as a third culture kid who was influenced both by the British culture around him, and the Iranian culture instilled by his parents. In this episode, Sina speaks very openly about finding it difficult to find where he truly fitted in, and even spent some time schooling in Iran, which was a particular challenge. Since then, Sina made a good life for himself but still very much felt alone and unsure of what his purpose was; until some pivotal moments and key people led him on his transformational journey and towards the goal he has found for himself.
