The WalaWay

Dr. Ray Bayley (DC, DCBCN) and I discuss how to stay healthy as we age and the importance of not only taking care of your body, but how to go about it.

Dr. Ray Bayley, DC, DCBCN, is a chiropractic physician, board-certified in intensive clinical nutrition, board-eligible in homeopathy, and has a few hundred hours training each in other styles and modalities of health and healing (e.g. Asian Medicines, other herbologies, and dual channel frequency-specific microcurrent) and less hours in others. He has been studying and working in the fields of Complementary, Alternative, Integrative, Holistic, and Functional Medicines for over 50 years and lectured at the grad (physicians-to-be) and postdoc (physicians, nationally) levels for 31 years, mostly in the intensive clinical nutrition and Functional Medicine realms. He operates at the portal/entry level in giving patients analyses, insights, and options for their health and healing. And he operates in helping people find paths that are less risky and have more positive side effects. He is a wealth of information, as you might expect from someone spending half their professional hours per week updating and expanding their knowledge.

During this episode, we speak with Noman Husain, an entrepreneur, a transformation agent and a cosmopolite. He is the founder of TRANSFORMability, a non-traditional transformation platform to enhance people & business performance.

He discusses the challenges of people and companies in this disruptive environment and offers real solutions to excel in these times of change. Listen to this candid conversation of Noman’s entrepreneurial journey and lessons of transformation in a disruptive environment.

With Millennials set to make up over 75 percent of the workforce by 2030, there still exist many stigmas about them. Are they all doom and gloom or can they be a breath of fresh air that the world needs? From inheriting a bad economic situation to helicopter parenting, Khufere Qhamata, of Leap72 and Academy M, and I go over these questions and look at both sides of these various questions.

Khufere Qhamata, is the founder of the Leap72 , Inc, a strategic innovation consultancy. A dedicated futurist, he works with startups and emerging technologies that push the boundaries of capability. He is also a co-founder and board member of Academy M, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit specializing in removing intergenerational boundaries for Gen Y and Z through mentorship and career development.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sumayya Menk who is currently doing her Masters at the University of Chicago in the School of Social Service Administration. She is also the youth program coordinator assistant at RefugeeOne, a refugee resettlement agency. Her areas of interest are child care, child mental health and social services in general. We had a great time talking about the stigma of mental health in the immigrant community and how to overcome this while developing strong levels of communication between child and parent. 

I have the pleasure of interviewing Attorney Jamal Suleiman (www.lascolinaslaw.com) of SAR law firm. He specializes in civil litigation, business organizational matters, real estate, general contractual issues, personal injury, medical malpractice, and immigration and more. We discuss why it is essential for new business owners/entrepreneurs to use contracts and why many fail to do so in the first place. Moreover, we discuss the narrative of "not trusting" the other party as a need to use contracts and how that belief is detrimental. I had a great time interviewing him and we instantly connected.

ACC (A Continuous Charity) is a registered non-for-profit that aims to help aspiring students get an education by giving them interest-free loans. Dr. Athar Haq (Founder), Abdullah Syed (Executive Director) and I discuss how faith inspires them to leave a positive legacy and how their individual histories have brought them to this point. The podcast was recorded very late at night, thus my voice, but I could not turn down the chance to interview the team. 

Being a true champion is not confined to the rings, belts and awards you win in your respective sport. But it has more to do with how you behave outside the ring or arena. I had the privilege of interviewing someone I admire, Coach Javier Mendez, the coach of "real" champions. Coach Javier Mendez is the Founder and Coach at AKA gym based in California. He is currently the coach and trainer for Khabib Nurmagamodec and Daniel Cormier, both current UFC champions. As a former champion himself, Coach Javier and I discuss the importance of character, humility and doing the right thing on and off the mat. 

I had to chance to interview Fawzi Yahya, a film-maker and creator. This is straight from his website, www.fawziyahya.com:

Fawzi Yahya is an award-winning Film Director with a decade of experience in the industry. His films have won many awards including Best Picture at the Detroit Windsor International Film Festival’s 48 Hour Film Challenge. He has worked on many different projects for a number of big clients such as Toyota, Tedx and Liquid Comics. His short film ‘Racism Kills’ has gone viral on social media with over 100 Million views. His work has a unique way of evoking deep and strong emotions that leave a lasting impression on their viewer.

We focused in on the drive that is needed to excel in this industry and what is needed to set you apart from the rest of the competition. Fawzi and I discussed his early days, starting his own business and the dedication that is needed to thrive and impress potential clients. 

Chris Grayson from Urban Strength Institute and I discuss the buildup and fallout from the Conor McGregor and Khabib fight! Speaking and acting recklessly comes with consequences and Conor learned that the hard way. We discuss the emphasis on ratings, money and fame over being principled and having old fashioned values.
