|E26| Sina talks: Reaching My Potential & Serving Myself To Better Serve Others

As an UK-born Iranian, Sina speaks about what it was like to grow up as a third culture kid who was influenced both by the British culture around him, and the Iranian culture instilled by his parents. In this episode, Sina speaks very openly about finding it difficult to find where he truly fitted in, and even spent some time schooling in Iran, which was a particular challenge. Since then, Sina made a good life for himself but still very much felt alone and unsure of what his purpose was; until some pivotal moments and key people led him on his transformational journey and towards the goal he has found for himself.

In this episode, we discuss:

My family journey from Iran to the UK

Role of the Iranian revolution in the late 70's

What would have happened if the Persians conquered the Greeks and why Persian history is largely ignored in schools

Why Sina started selling phones in high school

Why Sina felt hisparents weren't driven or ambitious & never managed to reach their potential

Dealing with loneliness when working and living in Norway

The role of Kirk Miller and Jay Shetty in his transformational journey

What was the inspiration behind the podcast and the name 'First Serve'

What is Creator vs. survival mode
