MK Elkhamissy: What makes MK unique among other highly successful people in business is the path that led to his success and his intention for living after having created that success. MK’s achievements are no accident. He intentionally designed his life so that he does not have to answer to anyone and can help who he wants when he wants. This has not been the easiest path. MK spent twenty years training to be a professional soccer player, only to find that his dream was not possible. Graduating college right as 9/11 struck, no one would even look at his CV because his name was Mohammed. Later on, he was given the opportunity to run a company generating over $1 billion in sales while his one-year-old daughter was diagnosed with an “incurable” form of cancer. He did not merely accept the doctor’s word--that the only treatment that could save her life would prevent her from ever walking again-- instead, through action, he persevered and found a doctor who offered a better solution. Today she is a happy 12-year old who can run and play like other kids.

Because of his path, MK views success as a means of helping others. He regards success and winning as a moral duty that enables people to help others. He believes that being humble makes you strong and that being strong makes you happy. MK’s accomplishments came despite the fact that he is an average person--which means that by following his advice anyone can achieve success. A firm believer in Stoicism philosophy, he truly strives to challenge people to think differently about what freedom and success mean and how to go about getting them.
