In our conversation, we dive into: How to lead with humility and vision in both business and life, transforming leadership from ego to empowerment. The transformative power of AI and tech: not as a replacement for humanity, but as an enabler of creativity, efficiency, and sustainable growth. What it takes to build and scale a modern digital company: balancing innovation with people-first values, staying adaptive in shifting technological landscapes, and embedding purpose into every decision. The parallels between personal growth and organizational growth, and how traits like resilience, curiosity, and integrity underpin both. Tune in and get ready for a conversation that breaks down complex ideas into simple, actionable insight the kind that stays with you long after the episode ends.
