About this episode

My guest for this episode is a live example of how you can bring magic in your life if you listen to your heart and have the courage to switch lanes and embrace the unknown.

We have all been experiencing a lot of ups and downs with the uncertainty and chaos in the world, and I couldn’t think of a better guest to give us some perspective and guidance on navigating adversity than him.

He has a very unconventional journey himself. While he’s born and raised in France, he has also explored and lived in diverse cultures between China and Dubai.

After a prestigious MBA’s and after over ten successful years in corporate finance and entrepreneurship, he decided to discontinue his blooming, but a stressful career to explorer the unknown.

You will learn today that embracing uncertainty can take you to places you never thought of for yourself.

From a warrior at heart with a high-performance mindset to finding peace and balance not only in fitness but in life. He built a robust personal brand in his new path, and if you are practicing yoga in Dubai, then you most probably came across his name before.

 

In this podcast episode we discussed:

  • The philosophy of yoga and what entrepreneurship and yoga have in common.
  • How we can regulate our emotions and the way we feel using our breath.
  • How do our body stores emotions, and what can we do about them.
  • Why finding balance in life is very crucial and why it’s a journey and not a destination.
  • What can we learn from ancient wisdom that we can apply in our modern life today.
