In the debut interview episode of the LFG Energy podcast, I welcome Reza Hariri, a jack of many trades with an impressive sports coaching and entrepreneurship background. Reza, with his 20 years of media executive experience, shares insightful stories about the demanding transition from a secure career to a volatile startup ecosystem. Our conversation dives deep into three key areas: the synergy between sports and business, considering entrepreneurship as a career move, and debunking the myths about the glamorous portrayal of entrepreneurship.

In this episode, I bring you behind the scenes of a keynote I gave to the U.S. National Taekwondo Team—lessons not just for athletes, but for anyone chasing greatness.

In this episode, I share something deeply personal—my 5-part life creed. These aren’t just ideas; they’re guiding principles that have shaped how I lead, love, and live. Each one was forged through life lessons, mentorship, and moments that challenged me to level up as a human being. I talk about what it means to show up when no one’s watching, how to shift your mindset around “wasted time,” and why being in service to others is the ultimate life hack. From a quiet handshake to a simple “hi,” I unpack how seemingly small moments can unlock massive opportunities.

In this powerful second part of my reflections on the Better Human Project, I dive deep into the lessons and experiences that shaped my perspective on life, happiness, and service to others. I share the defining moment when I realized that true happiness comes from noticing rather than expecting, a lesson reinforced by years of traveling to India and witnessing the beauty of selflessness. From my grandmother’s unwavering dedication to serving others to a powerful encounter with a group of children in the streets of Delhi, I unpack the real meaning of LFG energy.

In this episode, I dive into something deeply personal and transformational—the Better Human Project .

Arjun and Omar El Takrori have a hugely impactful discussion that goes into the importance of perseverance and the mindset required to succeed in both personal and professional endeavors. Omar shares insights from his military experience, something you wouldn't expect to hear from the "Content King", emphasizing that when challenges arise, individuals do not rise to the occasion but rather fall back to their level of training. Omar expresses the necessity of consistent effort and dedication over time, rather than seeking immediate gratification, detailing how success is not the result of a single action, but of continual effort and hard work. Omar and Arjun explore a different concept for LFG energy, suggesting that deep commitment to serving others and solving problems over the long-term can sustain motivation and prevent quitting, rather than relying on short bursts of motivation. The discussion also touches on the impact of upbringing and personal history on current behaviors, highlighting the significance of learning from the past to create a better future.

In this episode of LFG Energy , I dive into the idea of "work-life balance"—and why it’s a myth. Despite what we hear from countless books, seminars, and videos, true balance doesn’t exist when we’re striving for greatness. Real success, whether in business, personal goals, or sports, comes at a cost. Drawing from personal experiences, I explain how achieving big things often requires sacrificing parts of life—social events, family time, or relaxation. I introduce an alternative: "work-life harmony," a concept that respects the natural imbalance of life while finding a way to make everything coexist. This episode is all about acknowledging the price of greatness and the mindset shift needed to make it work without losing everything else along the way. Timestamps: (00:01) - Introduction to Greatness (01:05) - The Illusion of Work-Life Balance (08:01) - Work-Life Harmony vs Balance (06:21) - The Cost of Greatness (10:01) - Pursuing Work-Life Harmony (10:18) - Conclusion and Reflection Welcome to the LFG Energy podcast!

In this LFG Energy episode, I unpack the concept of adaptability and why it’s crucial to success. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from a survey of top-performing billionaires, I highlight how life’s unexpected setbacks reveal weaknesses and push us to improve. I explain the "adaptability quotient"—a person’s ability to pivot and stay resilient when "shit hits the fan." Through relatable examples from business, sports, and personal life, I encourage you to develop mental agility by embracing pressure situations and crafting a personal adaptability plan. This episode is a powerful reminder that success hinges on flexibility, especially when things don’t go according to plan.
