You learn nothing from success
Only from failure
I had the opportunity to be part of the Dubai Press Club 2nd Edition of the "Arab Podcast Program" on behalf of American University in Dubai & Hope It Helps Media Consulting
When I got the chance to give a workshop on podcasting
I stopped to think "How can I deliver the most value to the audience?"
Now the workshop was comprised over 30 aspiring podcasters
All motivated, energetic and excited to get started and get a taste of the endless opportunities podcasting will bring them
So I thought instead of telling them WHAT TO DO!
It would be more valuable to tell them what NOT TO DO!
The workshop was titled:
"Confessions of a Podcaster: Fails, Fixes & Lessons"
I distilled:
✅ 5+ years of experience
✅185+ episodes
✅100,000+ downloads
✅Industry knowledge
and more importantly 1000000000 mistakes
To tackle the 5 biggest challenges every podcaster will face at any stage of their journey & how to FIX them
Its funny how we tend to forget the wins
But our LOSSES our burned into our memory
Why?
Because the pain of loss > the triumph of winning
That pain and subsequent lessons have been priceless
And the greatest catalyst to motivate me to change
Im not here because of my success
Im here because of my failures
So the questions to all of you:
What has had a bigger impact on your life failure of success?

Life is unpredictable and WILL catch you off guard
But you have the power to choose how you respond
I recently had the pleasure of MC-ing Metaverse Post "Hack Seasons Conference" at Museum of the Future
It was a truly unforgettable experience
I got the pleasure to meet and learn from the top experts in the Web3, Crypto & AI space
The event was a massive success
But my journey to the stage didnt start off that way
Let me paint a picture
Its 1:00 am
You get home
Only to realize that your locked out and forgot your keys...
You're not an expert in the web3 space
Oh and fun fact you're MC-ING one of the largest crypto events at 10:00 am
What do you do? 👀
As I stood there outside my door
Cursing everything under the sun
Not believing the situation I was in
I had no choice but to burst out laughing
It would have been so easy to wallow in my misery
But instead I told myself- "The universe is testing me right now"
Long story short
I ended up using the story in my opening speech to kick off the event
To the laughter and shock of the entire audience 🤣
The lesson:
✅ Sh** happens
✅ You have the power to change your perspective
✅ You can turn any struggle into something positive
✅ Always take the opportunity, regardless of the outcome, will only add to your growth
So next time life decides to slap you out the blue
-Take a breath
-Smile
-Laugh it out
After all could be a lot worse right?

Jan 2024: I set a goal to speak on stage
December 2024: Achieved it (PHEW! just in time 😅)

Here’s a short clip from my opening speech. If you could spare 2 minutes to watch and share your honest feedback, I’d be so grateful! 🙏
