In this episode, we sat down once again with Ahmed Alqadasi for a deep and refreshing conversation about life, growth, and self-awareness. We talked about being part of a “woke generation” and whether older generations truly understood the concept of mental health. From there, we dove into topics like adapting to change, Ahmed’s inspiring travels to Jakarta and Sri Lanka, and what it really means to live minimally, both physically and emotionally. We also explored generational trauma, the value of time, finding balance between self-improvement and financial flexibility as a student, and wrapped up with Ahmed’s personal fitness journey. A thought-provoking and motivating episode you won’t want to miss!
