Experience Over Expectation

The Entrepreneur Gene — Sid Mohasseb on Redefining Risk, Failure, and Change


Listen Later

What if entrepreneurship isn’t just a profession—it’s part of your DNA?

In this powerful episode of Experience Over Expectation, Mary McCorvey sits down with Sid Mohasseb, globally respected entrepreneur, author, investor, and founder of Anabasis Academy—often called the Entrepreneur Philosopher. From curing his own genetic disorder at age 7 to moving to America alone at 16, Sid’s life story is proof that building a meaningful life is less about fearlessness and more about mindful navigation of risk and change.

Together, we explore:

  • Why entrepreneurship is encoded in our DNA
  • The real definition of risk (and how entrepreneurs navigate it daily)
  • Why “fail fast” is the wrong goal—and what to chase instead
  • What Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa teach us about value exchange
  • Why fear is an alarm system—not something to silence
  • How even building a backyard deck is an entrepreneurial act
  • And why change is your greatest friend—not your enemy

This episode will completely shift the way you think about failure, success, and what it means to build something valuable—whether it’s a company, a career, or a life you actually want.

🎧 Listen now and discover why you were born to build.

Sid also introduces his $1 forever-access learning platform: AnabasisAcademy.org, designed to provoke, engage, and awaken your next best self.
