In this episode, Sara speaks with an old colleague, Fadi, about using our values to find alignment and purpose in our careers. Fadi shares his career journey, learning to let go of fear, and surrendering to what is meant for him rather than chasing what we've been conditioned to believe we need in order to be happy. Books recommended by Fadi: The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer Fadi's podcast: Imshi Imshi Information on the heart-brain connection that was referenced by Sara is based on research from the HeartMath Institute (Science of the Heart, Volume 2) About Fadi: Fadi Hindi is a bold advocate for living unapologetically true to your values, no matter the cost. His journey from Baghdad to Silicon Valley is a powerful testament to the transformative power of ambition, resilience, and purpose. Fadi has not only navigated corporate spaces but transformed them by refusing to compromise on what matters most: integrity, faith, and authenticity. From fleeing conflict to becoming a key Operator in the tech ecosystem — leading teams through massive growth transformation — Fadi's career reflects the strength of bridging divides and fostering talent, all while staying deeply rooted in his beliefs. What sets Fadi apart isn't just his success, but how he's achieved it: on his own terms. Known for speaking truth to power, even when it's uncomfortable, he leads with values-driven conviction. For Fadi, faith means trusting in your purpose, instincts, and the process itself — not just in work, but also in life. On this episode of Ace of Pentacles, he'll share how these principles have shaped his unconventional, zigzagging career path, and how surrendering and embracing uncertainty has been key to his well-being and success. Listeners will be inspired to rethink their approach to work, make bold, purpose-driven decisions, and design careers that align with who they truly are.
