Wiser Together

Jermaine is an endurance athlete who has cycled over 14,000km across Australia, run 21 half marathons in 21 days, and completed 34 marathons in 34 days, all while working a full-time job. He 's partnered with the Black Dog Institute to raise money and awareness for mental health. But what makes Jermaine stand out isn't the distances he covers. It's the honesty he brings to a conversation most men are taught to avoid.

In this episode, Jermaine sits down with Parmeet to talk about the turning point that changed his life after losing three friends to suicide, why asking for help is so much harder than giving it, how endurance running became his own form of counselling, and what he tells himself on the days the darkness creeps back in. He also opens up about becoming a father, learning to separate his self-worth from his achievements, and the childhood friend whose memory carries him through every mile.

There is a line that comes up in this conversation that stayed with us. I'm a tough man, but one who can also speak about his emotions. Everything Jermaine does flows from that.

Emilio is the founder of Sydney Run Club. What started as five friends running from Ramsgate to Brighton has grown into a community of over 65,000 people, with thousands of them showing up to run every single week. He overcame stage four cancer at 21 and built one of the biggest running clubs in the world. But what makes Emilio stand out isn't the numbers. It's the fact that he actually lives what he preaches.

In this episode 66 of Wiser Together, Parmeet sits down with Emilio to talk about why real connection is quietly disappearing in an online world, what people are truly searching for when they show up at 5:30 in the morning, how a stage four cancer diagnosis at 21 reshaped everything he thought he knew about life, and why he believes you become a product of your environment. He also shares what it takes to build a community that actually lasts, why energy is the most contagious thing we carry, and how Sydney is becoming the wellness capital of the world.

There is a line that comes up in this conversation that stayed with us. You are a product of your environment. Everything Emilio does flows from that.

Husain Anas is a practitioner, explorer, and founder of Sadhu Nails Reflexology, an organisation built around one mission: helping humans reconnect with themselves. The tool at the centre of it all is ancient and analog. A board of copper nails you stand on. No subscription. No screen. No therapist required. 

What sets Husain apart is not the tool. It is the clarity with which he sees the problem. Most of us are operating from a state of broken self-connection, and we have been reaching for the wrong solutions. He has spent five years refining this practice and now has students across seven countries, with a book in the works.

In this episode, Husain sits down with Parmeet to talks about why 600 hours of therapy led one of his clients to nowhere, why 70% of people would rather shock themselves than sit alone with their own thoughts, why free awareness is the most precious thing that has been stolen from us, and why healing tools like this will never go mainstream in a world built to keep you dependent. 

He also talks about what it actually takes to sharpen your intuition, why most people confuse impulse with intuition, and the one dead-simple practice anyone can start today that will rewire their brain in the next 30 days.

There is a line from this conversation that stayed with us. One experience equals a thousand explanations. That is Sadhu Nails in six words.

Mustafa is a fitness coach, runner, and founder of Baar, a protein bar brand, with over 12 years in the fitness industry. He built an online community around sustainable fitness. But what makes Mustafa stand out isn't the credentials. It's the fact that he actually lives what he preaches.

In this episode, Mustafa sits down with Parmeet to talk about the toxicity hiding in plain sight across social media feeds, how he learned to do things on his own terms without waiting for anyone's approval, why he believes happiness has to be the foundation and not the finish line, and what it took to launch a product in a market full of noise while staying true to his values. He also shares what it really looks like to build a life around movement when the culture around you is pulling in the opposite direction.

There is a quote that comes up in this conversation that stayed with us. The wolf at the top of the mountain is weaker than the wolf trying to climb it. Everything Mustafa does flows from that.

Daniyal Siddiqui went from getting rejected by his school for A levels to becoming one of the youngest VP’s at Goldman Sachs at the age of 27. He later joined Apollo Global Management to lead their TMT team. He is 30, based in New York for over 11 years, and runs 50kms every single week without missing a day.

In this conversation, Daniyal opens up about what happened when his work life, relationships, and mental health all came crumbling down at the same time. He talks about how running became his therapy, why he deals with his problems in silence, and why material success never brought him real peace.

We also cover how material pleasures offer only momentary dopamine, failing to provide lasting peace. We discuss how money gives comfort but true peace stems from your inner state and actions, not from financial freedom. And lastly, why most men are suffering today, the trap of chasing validation, and why the low-key life is the best life.

This is one of those conversations that will make you rethink what you are actually chasing and reshape your perspective in life.

Ramy Naouss is a cancer survivor, Guinness World Record holder, author, and motivational speaker based in Dubai. Diagnosed with blood cancer at just 28 years old, Ramy didn't just fight to survive, he used that experience as a catalyst to completely transform his life. He's run over 100 kilometres barefoot through Dubai, set a Guinness World Record for the fastest blindfolded barefoot marathon, and stood on a Sadhu nail board for over 12 hours. He's also the author of Let's Live: Challenging Yourself is the Way.

But what makes Ramy's story so powerful isn't the records or the accolades, it's the inner work behind all of it. The unlearning, the ego death, the months of walking barefoot through a city just to reconnect with himself.

Ramy's returns to the Wiser Together Podcast to share what it really took to shift his identity, why he believes peace matters more than happiness, and why most of us are sleepwalking through life addicted to our phones.

Most of us can't imagine life without social media. But Sadia, she is living it.

Sadia is back on Wiser Together for the second time, and she holds a rare distinction: she is has opted out of social media entirely. Not as an experiment. Not as a detox. But as a way of life.

In this episode, we get curious about what that actually looks like. What does your perception of the world look like when the algorithm isn't shaping it? 

How do you connect with people when you've opted out of the platforms the rest of the world uses? And what does it feel like to choose intention over attention, every single day?

We explore the extraordinary power of the algorithm, the shallow nature of human connection on social media, and what it genuinely means to cultivate a life of presence. Not a curated version of it. The real thing.

This is one of those conversations that holds up a mirror, and asks you to look honestly at how much of your life is being lived, and how much is being scrolled away.

In this episode, we sit down with Moksh, who is back for his third time on the podcast - this time live from Dubai on his 22nd birthday.

In under six months, he went from finishing uni with no job lined up to building Meteoric, a personal brand agency serving 35+ clients and crossing the six-figure revenue mark. But this conversation isn't just about business. We get into the mindset shifts behind his  growth: how Psycho-Cybernetics rewired his thinking, why he's choosing a mindset coach over a business coach in 2026, and what it really means to operate from abundance instead of survival.

We also tackle the big question: would you rather be the richest person in the world or the happiest?

In this episode, we sit down with Ghani Souleymane, an extraordinary endurance athlete who recently completed 100 consecutive days of T100 Triathlon and became a world record holder. But this conversation goes far beyond athletics.

Ghani left home at just 7 years old, slept in abandoned buildings, and worked in Nigerian markets. What many would call a struggle, he calls it a blessing. His journey from Togo to Lagos, and Lagos to Dubai is a testament to what happens when you have a strong "why".

We explore how he stays grounded through fame, why comparison kills purpose, and his beautiful analogy of "seeds and weeds" - seed being your true purpose, and weed being your ego and external noise.

This episode will instil a deeper sense of belief in your own capabilities leaving your inspired to take action towards your goals.

Welcome back to Wiser Together!

In this special video, we're taking you behind the scenes to show you how far we've come since we began this project in 2023. What began as Parmeet and Anas’s passion project has evolved into something we're truly proud of: 57 episodes, countless conversations, and a growing community of people who genuinely care about these discussions.

This video is basically our way of hitting pause and reflecting. We wanted to share what the last two years have looked like for us, the people we've connected with, how our team has grown, and yeah, how we've changed too. You'll also meet our new head of creative, who brings a fresh perspective and has his own powerful story to tell about mental health.

But beyond the reflection, we're diving into something we think really matters: the mental health landscape globally. There's a lot of struggle with anxiety, depression, and everything in between, and honestly, we started Wiser Together because we wanted to be a real resource for people going through that. Our workshops aren't just talks, they're designed to help you actually break through what's holding you back and figure out what you're capable of.

If any of this resonates with you, come join us. Let's do this together and build something healthier and more resilient, one conversation at a time.
