  Why Chasing Success Is Making You Miserable – Amin Alamdari

  Aug 17, 20261h 6m

  Amin Alamdari is back on the podcast, almost two years after our first conversation. A lot has changed since then. In this episode, we talk honestly about what happens when the excitement of chasing your goals wears off and you’re left with the reality of actually building the life you wanted. Amin opens up about almost quitting entrepreneurship, questioning his definition of success, losing relationships along the way, and feeling deeply lonely while living in Bali, a place that from the outside looked like paradise. We also talk about ambition and burnout, learning to let go, why not everything in life needs to be optimized, the downside of constantly trying to improve yourself, discipline vs flexibility, happiness vs inner peace, toxic positivity, social media, and learning to be okay with difficult emotions instead of always trying to fix them. This conversation is ultimately about what happens when ambition matures, and when success starts to mean something deeper than money, status, or external validation. Hope you enjoy it.

  The Lost Art of Focus in a Distracted World – Jamyang Dorjee Chakrishar

  Jul 28, 20261h 35m

  Jamyang Dorjee Chakrishar is a Tibetan calligrapher, artist and cultural preservationist whose life has moved between public service, spiritual practice and art. After building a respected career in the Sikkim government, he made the difficult decision to leave behind comfort, status and a much higher salary to serve the Tibetan administration in Dharamsala. Years later, he helped bring Tibetan calligraphy to the world stage by creating a 165-metre calligraphy scroll. But what stayed with me most from this conversation was not the world record. It was the way Jamyang speaks about writing as meditation, focus as a form of discipline and the importance of learning how to sit with yourself. We talk about the monkey mind, why multitasking weakens the quality of our work, the value of handwriting in a digital world, creativity, suffering, expectations and the fear of what other people think. We also explore the importance of preserving Tibetan culture and the small actions each person can take to keep it alive. Near the end of the conversation, Jamyang shares a simple but powerful piece of advice: learn to be kind to yourself. Some of the links below are affiliate links.

  Why Most People Never Become Who They Really Are - Doina Serbul

  Jul 20, 20261h 29m

  Doina is a singer, marketing coach, and creator from Moldova, now living in Bali. She helps people build a personal brand without losing who they are. She grew up in a house of teachers, reading twenty pages a day from the age of six and learning discipline before she learned anything else. She started singing to stand out from her sister, competed on X Factor at 17 and The Voice at 19, and then spent close to ten years shrinking herself to fit in. In this episode, she opens up about what that did to her and how she came back to herself. We get into authenticity and what it means in practice, how to find your real self through her personality map, why quality content beats posting for the sake of it, and how to overcome the fear of putting yourself out there. She closes on the best advice her father gave her. Let them talk, and keep working on yourself. If you've been afraid to be seen, this one is for you.

  Why Fitness Is The Secret To Changing Your Identity - Anik

  Jul 6, 20261h 22m

  Anik is a fitness coach in Ireland and co-founder of Infinite, a coaching brand he built with his best friend. He breaks down creatine dosage, training splits, and the CNS fatigue most people mistake for ordinary tiredness. The conversation turns personal. Anik talks about the jobs he hated before fitness, the identity shift that came from staying consistent, and why the fear of judgment never fully goes away. You build the muscle to act anyway instead. By the end, you get his view on building a brand people trust, the promise-keeping habit behind real change, and a client story that sums up what it means to trust the process.

  Stop Waiting For The Perfect Time | Lhamo Tsering

  Jun 29, 20261h 8m

  Lhamo left Tibet as a child, moved to India, then made her way to France for university. She studied medicine, dropped it, switched to business, graduated, and then did something most people in her position wouldn't consider: opened a Tibetan restaurant in Paris with her mom. This episode goes into what it's like to build a life in a country whose language you don't speak, the moment she realized her academic success was partly an illusion, and why she chose a path she knew wasn't her dream just because it was the right thing to do right then. She talks about the Tibetan identity questions she carries in exile, the artistic side of herself that never got nurtured, and the fact that the thing she loves most, writing, is also the thing she's most afraid to do. She closes with the best advice she's heard recently: ready is a decision, not a feeling.
