Is being vulnerable a strength?

For many showing vulnerability is not something they are willing to do. They see it as a form of weakness. It isn’t, it’s what the world needs more of.

In this episode I am joined by Seth Prezant, who I first met climbing Kilimanjaro. Seth isn’t afraid of vulnerability and shares in depth about his relationships, including his divorce from his wife, and how this had a huge impact on his mental health.

He also talks about how he has shown up as a father, the good and the bad. Seth is all about reflection and honesty, and that’s what you’ll get in this episode.

You have the power to create your own story.

No matter what anyone else says or believes, you can achieve the life you want.

My guest in this episode, Meena Adnani, grew up in Indonesia and always knew she needed to break from the traditional role women played in her life experience.

Little did she know that this journey would take her to professional and financial success only to lose it all. Despite that loss, which she shares all about, she went on to build back to a 7-figure business.

Meena talks about how she managed to achieve this and why her resilience and mindset were her greatest assets in being able to do so.

Nothing works unless you do.

Your family, your relationships, your business.

That’s why you need to look after yourself first to be able to best serve those around you.
