In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we’re joined by Alpha Mshihiri, founder of I Am Awaken, a communication and relational strategy platform dedicated to helping individuals transform the way they connect, communicate, and navigate emotionally charged conversations. Alpha shares his powerful personal journey—from building a successful mortgage and real estate business to facing a life-altering legal battle that ultimately led to a period of imprisonment. During that difficult chapter, he began a deep process of self-reflection and personal transformation that reshaped his perspective on identity, relationships, and purpose. What started as a moment of crisis became what he calls his “awakening,” ultimately inspiring the creation of his company.

During the conversation, Alpha explains how his work focuses on helping people—particularly those grounded in faith—recognize the emotional patterns and memories that influence how they show up in relationships. Drawing from both spiritual insight and behavioral understanding, he developed frameworks designed to help individuals rebuild trust, communication, and personal clarity. Alpha also discusses his shift from one-on-one coaching to scalable systems that allow him to reach more people through automation, digital programs, and structured frameworks. Looking ahead, his vision is to expand his impact globally by adapting his teachings across cultures and languages while maintaining authenticity in a world increasingly saturated with automated content.
