Can you really be present with your family on holiday and move your work forward without burning out?

In this episode, I share my holiday work experiment while traveling through Asia with my family. Instead of shutting off completely or struggling to restart after a long break, I tried blending family time, Mandarin classes with my kids, client co-creation, and moments of connection with inspiring people I met on the road.

You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and how clear boundaries between family and work created more flow, joy, and freedom.

“It’s possible to have it all — family, travel, and meaningful work — when you learn to separate and honor each part fully.”

What happens when a high-achieving changemaker slows down, gets vulnerable, and talks openly about success, jealousy, and inner peace?

I sit down with my dear soul brother and changemaker Ali Mahlodji. We talk about his big vision for the world, the pressure of success, jealousy, slowing down, and finding peace in “the space.” A genuine, open, and vulnerable conversation about achievement, purpose, and inner peace.

In this episode, I explore a model from Spiritual Psychology that changed my worldview: the Goal Line and the Soul Line.

The goal line is about achievement, status, and success. The soul line is about being, purpose, and inner peace. When we balance both, we discover what it truly means to Achieve From Inner Peace.

What listeners will gain:

A clear understanding of the difference between the goal line and the soul line

Why chasing goals alone never leads to lasting fulfillment

How to reconnect with purpose and lead from a deeper place of

Quote: “Next to the five-lane highway of life, there’s a little path through the forest — that’s the soul line. It’s quieter, slower, and not crowded, but it leads to true fulfillment.”

You’ll hear:

• Why grinding isn’t the only way

• What fatherhood taught me about freedom

• The power of building a business around your values

"You don't have to sacrifice your life to build something meaningful — especially if you're the one choosing the rules."
