In 1996, Mohamad Fakih emigrated to Canada with next to nothing. In 2006 he purchased a nearly bankrupt shawarma restaurant after the owner begged him to invest. That purchase has turned into an 80-restaurant franchise globally, with close to $100 million dollars in sales this year. 

Big or small, we all get presented with different opportunities in life, but rarely do we fully capitalize on them.

Roxy is a former reality TV star, turned CEO and body positive activist. Roxy took the platform she was given being on a reality show and transformed it into a movement! We talk how to find your purpose, making a difference and loving yourself at any size.

Sam Humphrey is a New Zealand-born actor. He is best known for playing Charles Stratton in the hit film The Greatest Showman alongside Hugh Jackman. Sam was born with a rare genetic disorder called acrodysplasia. As a child he was also diagnosed with the inflammatory bowel condition Crohn’s disease and has spent a lifetime visiting hospitals and doctors’ offices for operations and tests, and was not expected to reach his teenage years, let alone adulthood. During his teen years he battled depression and suicide, but was able to overcome his challenges to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.

Not only has he endured a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis, but after suffering an unimaginable series of traumas, including childhood rape by a family member, falling into what he calls a religious cult, an opioid addiction and several near death experiences, our guest Jamie has a hugely inspiring message about persevering and pushing through it all.

Please Note: Jamie’s incredible story includes honest discussion of sexual abuse so: trigger warning for those who need it.
