What happens when you chase a dream everyone says is impossible? For Dr. Suaad, the first Emirati female aircraft engineer, it meant transforming an industry and inspiring thousands of women across the Middle East.

Growing up watching planes from her home near Dubai International Airport, Dr. Suaad developed an obsession that would define her life's work. But when she tried to pursue aircraft engineering after high school, she hit a wall universities explicitly stated "male" under gender requirements. For 18 months, she refused to give up, eventually securing a scholarship from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to study in the UK.

Dr. Suaad takes us through her remarkable journey, from facing skepticism in a male-dominated field to founding Women in Aviation, a non-profit that now has over 3,000 members. She speaks candidly about balancing professional achievements with family life, dispelling the myth that women must choose between career success and personal happiness.

Perhaps most powerful is her discussion of learning limits the hard way. After working non-stop on a major project, Dr. Suaad experienced severe burnout that led to three months in hospital. "We're like machines. Sometimes the machine breaks," she explains. This wake-up call transformed her approach to success, teaching her that you cannot give 100% to everything simultaneously. Now she advocates for intentional breaks, including weekly tech-free days with her family and annual social media detoxes.

Whether you're challenging industry norms, balancing ambition with well-being, or simply wondering how to say "no" more often, this conversation offers wisdom from someone who's broken barriers while learning that true success isn't measured by titles alone. As Dr. Suaad says, "What will they remember? Not all the fancy things around you, but who you are."

What happens when everything you've built crumbles beneath you? I was speechless introducing Stefania, she has an unstoppable energy, rock bottom became the foundation for extraordinary success.

After 23 years of marriage and three children, Stefania found herself divorced, betrayed, and completely broke. "I literally didn't even have 10 euros," she recalls. Her parents refused to help, believing she should return to her unfaithful husband. With no choice but to rebuild, Stefania worked as a receptionist at a beauty salon where she'd once been a client, selling her designer clothes and jewelry on eBay to survive.

This devastating fall from privilege sparked something powerful within her. "The pressure took out talents from me I didn't even know I had," she shares with raw honesty. When introduced to network marketing in 2012, Stefania encountered two years of continuous failure but refused to quit. Today, her business spans 156 countries, and she's helped over 50 people become millionaires.

Beyond business strategy, our conversation explores profound lessons about resilience, faith, and authentic success. Stefania discusses how true wealth differs from mere money, why relationships matter more than material possessions, and how to maintain your values while building an empire. Her perspective on pride ("It can destroy in five months what took five years to build") offers wisdom applicable to any venture.

Whether you're rebuilding after loss, pursuing financial independence, or seeking to make an impact, Stefania's journey demonstrates that your greatest setbacks might contain the seeds of your most remarkable achievements—if you have the courage to keep moving forward despite everyone telling you to give up.

Javier Mendez opens up about the extraordinary journey that took him from a bullied Mexican immigrant to becoming one of MMA's most respected coaches. With disarming honesty, he reveals how a chance encounter at a nightclub led him to martial arts and eventually to founding the legendary American Kickboxing Academy.

The conversation delves deep into Mendez's relationships with his most famous fighters. He shares intimate details about preparing Khabib Nurmagomedov for the psychological warfare against Conor McGregor, explaining, "He's going to come after your father, your country, your religion... You can't let him win." This masterful mental preparation helped Khabib remain composed while dominating one of UFC's most heated rivalries. Mendez speaks with profound respect about what Khabib taught him about loyalty, family, and generosity, noting how "the more wealth he had, the more generous he became."

Perhaps most moving is Mendez's candid discussion of Cain Velasquez's legal troubles after attacking the man who allegedly molested his son. With fatherly concern, Mendez explains the neurological factors behind Velasquez's actions while expressing unwavering support for his former champion. "He's such a beautiful person," Mendez says, confident that Velasquez will eventually turn this tragedy into something positive.

Beyond fight stories, Mendez reflects on his own identity journey—how he initially rejected his Mexican heritage due to childhood bullying, only to eventually embrace it through Cain's influence. Now, he's planning to expand AKA to Dubai, hoping to develop Emirati fighters for the world stage while continuing to work with his Russian champions.

Whether you're an MMA enthusiast or simply interested in the psychology of high-performance coaching, Mendez offers profound insights into what makes fighters great and what it takes to build champions both in and outside the cage.

What happens when life throws you a £160,000 curveball in a single day? For Jamal, it became the catalyst that transformed his e-commerce business and ultimately led to a seven-figure exit.

In this riveting conversation, Jamal takes us through his remarkable journey from a stammering student who couldn't afford books to a successful entrepreneur who now coaches others. With disarming honesty, he reveals the seasons of extreme imbalance that entrepreneurship demanded—moments when he was physically present with family but mentally absent, consumed by open loops that wouldn't let him rest until progress was made.

The heart of our discussion explores what true success looks like beyond material achievements. Growing up in an immigrant household where discipline was paramount, Jamal developed an unshakable resilience that would serve him well. He shares how his early insecurities and stutter pushed him toward personal development, spending hours in bookstores absorbing knowledge he couldn't afford to purchase.

Perhaps most fascinating is Jamal's perspective on building businesses while maintaining your humanity. He warns against the dangers of tying your identity too closely to professional achievements—something he still struggles with despite his success. "Keep the world in your hands, not in your heart," he says, reflecting on how money's power over him was revealed during his biggest business crisis.

For anyone navigating the entrepreneurial path, Jamal offers practical wisdom on leadership, marketing, and the uncomfortable truth that building anything meaningful requires periods of serious imbalance. His story reminds us that the greatest success comes not from avoiding failure but from how we respond when it inevitably finds us.

Have you ever considered what you'd detach yourself from to find greater fulfillment? Listen now and join the conversation about building success that matters beyond the bottom line.

What happens when a lifelong passion collides with entrepreneurial drive? Faris, founder of the world's first swimming app for Apple Watch, takes us on his remarkable journey from childhood pool sessions to building a seven-figure business centered around his love for swimming.

Born to Syrian immigrants in America, Faris found freedom and control in the water from an early age. "I love the feeling of being weightless in the water and completely separated from the world," he explains. "You can't take your phone with you, no one can bother you, and you're just alone." This sanctuary became the foundation for both his athletic pursuits and eventual business venture.

The entrepreneurial path wasn't without significant challenges. Faris candidly shares his biggest regret—waiting a full year before implementing a subscription model: "We went a full year not making any money." This hard-learned lesson shaped his advice for aspiring founders: focus on profitability from day one. The COVID pandemic dealt another devastating blow when pools worldwide closed, threatening his swimming-centered business with extinction. Through perseverance and adaptation, he maintained his team despite burning through substantial resources, proving that "startups only die when founders give up."

Beyond business strategy, Faris offers profound insights on avoiding burnout, maintaining authenticity while building a personal brand, and the power of complementary partnerships. Despite struggling with reading as a child, he's published multiple successful books on swimming, including his latest, "How Not to Drown"—addressing the shocking reality that one in two people worldwide cannot swim. His story reminds us that our greatest challenges often reveal our most meaningful opportunities for impact.

Mark Coles takes us on a riveting journey from his early struggles to becoming a fitness industry titan in this deeply personal conversation. After abandoning a seemingly secure path in his father's property business, Mark followed his passion for fitness despite uncertainty about his future. "I said I don't know, but I need to be happy first... whatever I do that I'm happy, I'll know I'll be successful," he reveals, highlighting the courage required to pursue authentic fulfillment.

The transformation wasn't simple. Mark candidly discusses his battle with substance abuse and the pivotal moment that changed everything: "I sat on the end of my bed after doing coke... and I went 'you're done.' Never done it since." This raw honesty unveils the power of decisive self-leadership that has defined his approach to life. What followed was a five-year period of intense isolation where Mark rebuilt himself completely—his body, his business, and his mindset—describing it as "probably the loneliest five years I've ever had." This deliberate retreat from social life formed the foundation for his future success.


Whether you're struggling with personal transformation, building an online coaching business, or seeking to optimize your physical and mental performance, Mark's hard-won wisdom provides a blueprint for authentic success. His journey demonstrates how our greatest challenges, when met with courage and determination, can become the foundation for extraordinary achievement.

What happens when you leave home and recreate your identity in a new place? How can you break free from people-pleasing patterns that no longer serve you? And what does it really take to design an authentic relationship that thrives long-term?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Shaheem draws from her extensive experience as a psychologist and researcher to explore the architecture of our identities and relationships. Having studied diaspora experiences and personality development across cultures, she offers a unique perspective on how we can deliberately design our lives rather than operating on autopilot.

The discussion introduces powerful concepts like "roaming" – moving through life with wrong programming installed by others – and explains how deepening self-awareness can become your secret weapon for navigating life's transitions. Dr. Shaheem challenges the quick-fix culture of social media advice, offering nuanced insights on everything from cultural adaptation to relationship dynamics.

Particularly illuminating is her evolution-not-revolution approach to personal change, especially for recovering people-pleasers. Rather than abruptly cutting people off (as often advised online), she suggests becoming a "people easer" who values their needs equally with others while maintaining genuine generosity. For relationships, she dismantles the myth of finding a perfect partner, instead describing love as a verb – something you choose daily – and relationships as third entities that require intentional nurturing.

Whether you're contemplating a major life change, struggling with career identity, or seeking more authentic connections, Dr. Shaheem’s wisdom provides a blueprint for redesigning your life at any stage. As she reminds us, "What gets you here may not get you there" – but with curiosity and deliberate design, you can create a life that generates joy rather than anxiety and depletion.

Ready to pull up your personal blueprint? Listen now and discover how to architect a life that truly reflects who you are.

Ever wonder what's really happening behind those flashy crypto promotions and million-dollar influencer deals? In this raw, unfiltered conversation with crypto entrepreneur James, we strip away the hype to reveal the uncomfortable truths about blockchain technology, cryptocurrency investments, and the often-manipulated world of digital assets.

James pulls no punches as he shares his journey from ambitious 19-year-old recruitment company founder to successful crypto influencer. With refreshing honesty, he explains how blockchain works as "an online ledger that tracks transactions" and why it's revolutionizing payments and property transactions worldwide. But he also drops a bombshell that most won't admit: "95 percent of people lose money in crypto" because they don't understand what they're buying or when to sell.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as James reveals the inner workings of meme coins (he was involved in over 100 last year alone), the truth about paid promotions, and how top crypto influencers can earn 1-3 million dollars monthly. We explore the dark underbelly of the crypto space, including scams, botted accounts, and paid awards that create an illusion of credibility. His advice for newcomers? Invest time in education before investing money.

Perhaps most compelling is James' personal revelation about overcoming cocaine addiction, a struggle that transformed his outlook on life and business. "When you wake up every single day and the first thing you think of is when you're going to do drugs, once you get through that, the hardest battle is with yourself," he shares. This experience shaped his disciplined approach to business, relationships, and purpose—a philosophy that every challenge after addiction seems manageable by comparison.

Whether you're crypto-curious, already invested, or simply fascinated by the psychology of success, this episode offers valuable insights about wealth, freedom, and the relentless pursuit of growth. What limiting beliefs or habits might you need to detach from to reach your full potential?

What if the key to unlocking your full potential lies not in chasing external validation or rigidly following someone else's system, but in truly listening to your own intuition? In this profoundly illuminating conversation, ex-NFL player turned elite mindset coach Kian reveals how disconnection from our deepest intuitive wisdom creates the conditions for anxiety, depression, and a life governed by others' expectations.

Drawing from his extraordinary journey from professional football to spiritual awakening, Kian articulates the crucial difference between superficial emotional reactions and authentic intuitive guidance. "When you learn how to connect deeper to that inner feeling inside of yourself, separate from just an external feeling or emotion, it allows you to be able to get really clear about what truly is right for you or not," he explains. This distinction becomes the foundation for a life of genuine fulfillment rather than endless striving.

Perhaps most provocatively, Kian challenges conventional wisdom about masculine emotional expression. While advocating for men to become more emotionally connected to themselves, he presents a counterintuitive perspective on vulnerability in romantic relationships. "I don't believe men should be more emotional to their women or their significant others," he states, suggesting instead that men process their emotions with other men before communicating their needs clearly to partners – a refreshing view that honors both masculine nature and relationship dynamics.

The conversation delves into fascinating territory around plant medicine, nutritional foundations for intuitive clarity, and the concept of "emotional sovereignty" – Kian's term for maintaining integrity with your authentic desires regardless of external pressures. His approach to life without rigid discipline may seem radical, yet it stems from a deep connection to purpose and inner guidance that many seek but few achieve.

Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies, seeking to strengthen your intuition, or simply curious about a different approach to personal development, this episode offers profound insights that will challenge your thinking and potentially transform your relationship with yourself.

Simon Leviev sits across from me, remarkably composed for someone who became 2022's most Googled man after Netflix branded him "The Tinder Swindler." His notoriety has created a paradox - worldwide infamy that he simultaneously rejects and capitalizes on.

Growing up in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community as a rabbi's son, Simon describes a world without television, secular education, or exposure to modern life. "I grew up in a house without a TV, without anything, only religion stuff," he explains. This sheltered existence created a curious mind that questioned everything. Even as a child, he sensed a different path ahead: "I knew I meant to be something bigger."

Simon fiercely disputes the Netflix narrative, claiming relationships were misrepresented and allegations fabricated. "I didn't scam any girls," he insists repeatedly. Yet he freely admits to other controversial acts - changing identities, living on false passports, and past money laundering, which he describes clinically: "I offered a service. I took my commission." This selective transparency creates a fascinating psychological puzzle.

Whether you see him as calculating manipulator or misunderstood victim, Simon Leviev's story raises uncomfortable questions about identity, perception, and the blurry line between strategic maneuvering and deception. Listen now for a rare glimpse into the mind behind one of the most controversial figures in modern media.
