Imran Jaffer | The only risk is regret | It’s Not That Deep Podcast Episode 23

 

This week I sit down with Imran Jaffer, a 4th degree black belt who owns & operates Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy, a dojo with over 250 members where he teaches, inspires and leads. Imran is a 2 time WKA world champion that has been involved in martial arts since he was 6 years old and has been teaching since he was 13. He’s trained students to get their  Black Belt and compete at high level tournaments. Imran is also a serial side-hustler, a motivator, and very recently became a father as well!

 

However, it wasn’t a clear path for Imran to become the successful leader, teacher, businessman, and motivator he is today. We talk about his life and martial arts journey as well as the ups and downs he’s faced. We talk about the importance of losing and failing & he shares personal stories about stepping out of his comfort zone and the role risk-taking has had on his life. We talk about his self-awareness in realizing school wasn’t for him and taking a risk by leaving school behind to chase his passions and take over a martial arts school.

 

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg as we dive in on his financial strategies to set yourself up for success through side hustles such as social media marketing and personal training, as well as the impact having a child has had on his visions and goals.
