#30 - Success (Re)Defined By Great Minds

Sara Shabana
About this episode

Today’s episode from “The Sara Shabana Show” is all about one question I been pondering the past couple of years … which is what success really means.

Just like many of you, when I was born, I was given a checklist and been told that once you strike off these items … you will be happy. I can already feel some of you might be smiling … because you been there, and you ticked the list … only to realize happiness and fulfillment were not guaranteed as promised, and you are left with this emptiness and lack of guidance.

Is there a universal definition of success, or each one should define it for themselves?

So that’s why I’ve decided to interview great minds, daring people who decided not to only take the path less travelled, but to carve a path of their own, take the responsibility of their choices, and live the life they designed for themselves.

and in this episode, I have compiled the responses from my last year interviews regarding this question. However, if any answer makes sense to you, or if you feel you would like to listen to more, just look for that guest name in my podcast episodes and enjoy listening to the full interview. 

The guests included in this episode are:

  • Allaoa Gaham
  • Dr Saliha Afridi
  • Ibrahim Albadawi
  • Jessy El Murr
  • Osama Natto
  • Eman Askar
  • Hatem AlAkeel
  • Sara Almukaimy

And don’t forget to connect with me and say “Hi” on Instagram (@SaraShabana.me), I always love to hear from you.
