They say when life gives you lemons you should make lemonade.

My guest on today's episode is the living embodiment of that motto. He has been challenged in every way and still found a way to succeed. Today he's helping others to lead more successfully.

Muhammad Mehmood crossed continents to take up a job in the UK National Health Service.

When he got here, a technical hitch meant he couldn't start. Imagine being in a new country without an income, home or knowing anyone. Homeless and jobless he started from rock bottom.

He found a job as a Kitchen Porter.

Soon he found an opportunity. To turn an idea into a thriving hospitality business that could be successfully sold. After succeeding he was hired in to be CEO of a Tech company.

From homeless to leading 10,000 employees 

Muhammad Mehmood's journey meant completing nine degree/diploma courses (including qualifying as an MD). Learning to speak six languages. And visiting to around 55 countries.

I was lucky enough to spend a fascinating hour in discussion with Muhammad Mehmood.

And the best thing is that it was all recorded so you can listen in.
