Show Notes
At 21, Ramzi was running a successful insurance agency and making a lot of money and quietly falling apart on the inside.
A diagnosis of severe anxiety and ADHD sent him down a 20-year path into neuroscience, and eventually to founding Mindtune: a brain-performance company using neurofeedback to help people retrain a hijacked nervous system.
In this fascinating episode, Ramzi explains to Noona how the brain actually works, why you can't just “mindset” your way out of burnout (the brain is the hardware, mindset is the software), and how neurofeedback works like a mirror for your brain - rewarding it back into its natural rhythm.
They talk sleep, focus, screens and children, why the region's nervous systems are battered, and the reassuring truth at the centre of it all: you're not broken, you're just out of tune.
A must-watch for anyone dealing with stress, poor sleep, overthinking, or a brain that won't switch off.

Callum and Paul, the stylist and colourist behind By The Boys in Dubai, were weeks from moving to LA and filming a Netflix show when COVID shut everything down in March 2020. They had already handed back their UK salon, given up the house and thrown the leaving party, so they moved to Dubai and built a brand people were chasing before it had a front door.Across 44 minutes with Noona Nafoosi, you get the full LA story, how Callum grew his first salon from age 19 to a £2 million turnover with 42 staff, why By The Boys pays uncapped commission instead of salaries, and the emotional weight hairdressers carry for their clients. It ends with the plans for salon number 2 and a round of Noisy Noona questions that nearly broke the host.Chapters:00:00 Introduction02:50 The LA dream and Netflix04:32 COVID and the Dubai pivot06:11 A stylist and colourist double act11:23 A salon with no door18:18 Dyslexic at 19, £2 million later21:00 Hairdressing's hidden millionaires23:05 No salaries, uncapped commission24:46 The trauma bomb behind the chair30:13 Nosy Noona questions40:41 Salon number 2Connect with Callum & PaulInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bytheboysdubai/ https://www.instagram.com/paulstandenmay.colour/ https://www.instagram.com/callumstandenmay/Work with Noona🔹 1:1 Executive Coaching → https://neonoor.com/work-with-us/🔹 Keynote Speaking → https://neonoor.com/services/speaking-events/🔹 Corporate Training & Workshops → https://confidenceclaritystrategycall.as.me/schedule/a95442fe🔹 Coaching Session Questionnaire → https://form.jotform.com/Neo_Noor/coaching-applicationConnect with Noona📲 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/limitlessbynoona🎥 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@limitlessbynoona🌐 Website → https://www.neonoor.com📩 Email → [email protected] Nafousi is a Master NLP Trainer, executive search veteran of two decades, and the creator of The Limitless Leader Codes.
