    #008 - Armen Khadiwala - How To Take Control of Your Story

    Our guest today is Armen Khadiwala, he is a philanthropist, an entrepreneur and a father. So often it seems that in order to win in something we have to lose at something else. To win in our careers, we must sacrifice personal time; to raise a family, we let our health take a backseat. Armen defied this narrative, taking an unconventional path to succeed in all areas of life. Today, we will discuss how Armen overcame his father’s early death, why he chose to take an unconventional path, how he handles failure, how the stories you tell yourself control you, how he manages to be high performer while being there for his family, what his daily routine for success looks like and much more… If you’re enjoying these episodes, I’d ask for one small favor: this show only grows through word of mouth.
