I joined Instagram in 2010. I posted every single day for over a decade. I built 830,000 followers from scratch. Then one day — it was gone. And honestly? I don't care.This isn't a story about losing a social media account.It's a story about attachment, identity, and what happens when something you built over 14 years disappears overnight.My account was targeted by organised political groups — people who systematically attack anyone who speaks openly about Gaza, war, and corruption in football. Instagram locked my account to protect it from the attack. Then refused to give me access back.830,000 followers. 14 years of daily posts. Gone.And when it happened — I surprised myself. No panic. No rage. No desperate emails to get it back.Just stillness.In this video I talk about why that happened, what it taught me about the things we think we own, and why building on borrowed land was always the real mistake.If you've ever tied your identity to a number, a platform, or anything outside your control — this video is for you.link to my (currently locked) instagram account: instagram.com/mehranrowshan💬 Has a platform ever taken something from you?

Most men were never taught how to talk about periods, hormones, or gut health and most women were never taught how much these things actually run their lives.In this episode, I sit down with Rashi Chowdhary — award-winning nutritionist, hormone and gut health expert, and founder of Protein Bakeshop to have the honest conversation most households avoid.Rashi's work is rooted in her own journey with endometriosis, which pushed her deep into hormones, inflammation, and gut health far beyond standard nutrition advice. She's spent years helping women understand their bodies — and helping men finally have the language to support the women in their lives.We get into:– What a period actually is, phase by phase– Why women's bodies are still treated as taboo– Endometriosis, and what most doctors miss– How men can genuinely support their partners and daughters– The truth about gut health, the microbiome, and why your gut is your second brain– What alcohol, soft drinks, smoking, antibiotics, and stress are really doing to you– Supplements, multivitamins, and how to use AI for health without falling for the hype– Food psychology and why most diets fail– The fears that shape how we live and loveWhether you're a husband, a father of daughters, or someone serious about taking ownership of your health — this one's for you.

Private football coaching looks productive. Parents pay premium rates, kids work hard, drills get sharper every week and then match day comes, and nothing transfers.Here's why:Technique without decision-making is meaningless. Technique is simply executing a decision. If a player can't read the game, can't time the moment, can't sense pressure — then a perfect first touch, a clean turn, or a sharp finish in isolation means nothing. The decision comes first. The technique serves it.Most 1-on-1 sessions train the execution and skip the decision. That's why players look great with cones and average in games.In this video, I break down:Why football is decision-making, not just techniqueWhy drill performance rarely transfers to match performanceWhen isolated training actually helps (and when it hurts development)What parents should look for instead🎯 RESOURCE FOR PARENTSIf you're a football parent, the single biggest lever for your child's development isn't another private session, it's understanding the game well enough to support them properly. I built a course specifically for this:👉 The Football Parents Code: https://mehran-rowshan.mykajabi.com/footballparentLearn what actually drives player development, how to evaluate coaching, what to say (and not say) on the sidelines, and how to protect your child's love for the game.Chapters:0:00 Football action explained1:10 Communicating1:47 Decision-making2:54 Executing a decision3:41 Why it won't work5:10 Solution6:44 A subjective opinionI'm Mehran Rowshan, founder of Alliance Football Club in Dubai.

If you’re in your 20s, 30s, or even older, these are the reminders I believe can save you time, energy, and unnecessary pain.
