If nothing changed in your life over the next five years, would you still be happy?

That’s the question my guest, Sadok Ben-Khelifa, uses as a mirror, and maybe, a wake-up call.

When I first heard Sadok speak at an event alongside Les Brown, his message cut through the noise. Here was a man who had everything most people chase, success, status, a great career in tech and finance—and yet, he was two weeks away from quitting it all. No plan. No backup. Just burnout.

In this episode, we talk about what happened next—and what happens when you stop pretending “busy” means “fulfilled.”

Sadok opens up about the moment that changed everything for him, how self-awareness became his lifeline, and the night he discovered Les Brown’s Four Stages to Greatness that pulled him back from the edge. From there, he built what he calls The S.A.D.O.K System—a practical, life-tested framework to reset, refocus, and rebuild momentum in your life through small, strategic shifts.

We dive deep into what that actually looks like:

• Why burnout isn’t about your job—it’s about your energy.
• How “focus” isn’t about doing more, but doing more of what matters.
• The hidden cost of “shiny object syndrome” and how to spot real opportunities from distractions.
• The single small move that can change the direction of your entire life.

This conversation will hit home if you’ve ever felt like you’re running fast but not really moving. Sadok’s story isn’t motivational fluff—it’s lived experience. It’s the story of someone who turned exhaustion into awareness, awareness into action, and action into impact.

So if you’ve been wondering what’s next for you—or if the life you’re building is really the life you want—this episode might just be your sign to pause, reflect, and make your own small move today.
