About this episode

How can emotional intelligence help us navigate the challenges of migration and identity?


In this episode, we speak with Tania Khojasteh, a UK-based Iranian-Canadian entrepreneur, educator, and emotional intelligence expert. Tania is the founder of Uber Tutors and Fearless Knowledge, and hosts a podcast by the same name, where she delves into the intersection of emotional, social, and political intelligence.


Tania shares her personal story of leaving Iran as a child during the Iran-Iraq war and how the emotional toll of migration and conflict influenced her passion for emotional well-being. Together, we explore her journey through chaos, the immigrant experience cloaked in fear, and why emotional intelligence is key to improving both personal and business environments. Tania also breaks down the pillars of emotional intelligence and explains why companies are increasingly seeking to learn it.
