Turning Challenges Into A Global Movement. Dariush Soudi On Going From A Millionaire To Broke And Back Again

On a Mission Podcast

Show Notes

Dariush Soudi is a global entrepreneur, venture capitalist/investor, renowned speaker, philanthropist, and specialist in helping others to find the greatness within themselves, and how to unleash your inner gladiator.

Dariush joins me to talk about the incredible rags to riches to rags to riches tale of his life, his personal philosophy on living well and why you should always treat each day as a gift, and the sometimes-shocking stories of the fights he's had, and the empowering ways in which he's turned pain into power.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You can't ever take life for granted. We often feel too safe in our existence, but we should treat each day as if it's our last, and live life to the fullest at each opportunity.

As human beings, we are the only creatures on the planet to have the powers of thought and choice. Our choice should not be to accept the status quo and to want more.

There's something rather tragic about the fact that those who come to the world with an open heart are the ones who are hurt the most. We should embrace those who lead with their feelings, and not their fists.

Common sense should tell anyone that you take guidance from those who are walking the path that you want to walk. If someone is ahead of you by two steps then follow that person.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm aware of every second of every day, because you can't take anything for granted'

'When you have those lows, if you do the right thing, the very highs will come'

'I'm always thinking there's more to life than this - this is not it - this is not it'

'People will judge you by the lifestyle you show'

Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start.
