25: How to Master Passion | feat. Moustafa Hamwi [Dubai]

Have trouble discovering what your passions are? In this episode you’ll be inspired to start finding out what you’re good at, enjoy doing and how it can bring value to the world. Passion can create a life of fulfilment, rather than fleeting happiness.

Special Guest: the Passionpreneur, Moustafa Hamwi (Dubai)

Moustafa Hamwi started his career in Dubai as a telesales operator, eventually working his way up starting several entrepreneurial ventures that became businesses worth US$15 million in less than 4 years.

He was also heavily involved in the nightlife scene, which lead to him becoming stressed, depressed and anxious. Moustafa then consulted for the government of Abu Dhabi, yet even with his career booming, he still felt empty. That was the beginning of his personal development journey.

This yearning triggered a one-way trip to India where he spent time in the Himalayas with a Swami who had lived in caves for 13 years. His trip changed his life and woke him up to answer the questions:

• If this was it…did my life matter?

• What difference have I made to this world?

• Did I fully live what was truly meaningful to me?

• Did I do the best I can with all what I had?

Contributors vs Critics [PART 1] feat. Troy Grant

When it comes to voicing our ideas, we have a choice to be a Contributor or a Critic. Which are you?

In this episode, we take a sneak peek behind the political scenes with NSW state politician, Troy Grant. We look at how we can be involved in public debate, voice our ideas and defend truths, all without leaving a trail of emotional destruction behind us.

Episode Highlights:

• Understand the value of giving back to your community.
• Realise that your life experiences will shape the way you respond to others.
• Everyone has varying levels of resilience to criticism, politicians aren't immune.
• Social Media is a wonderful tool, but can also cause hurt through anonymity.
• "We get the government we deserve" - Thomas Jefferson.
• Public issues should be awarded attention based on merit, not on volume.
• Everyone has a responsibility to fact-check what we read in news channels.
• Read news articles in their entirety, rather than just scanning the headlines.
• Separate the content of an argument, from the character of the person.
• Before writing-off relationships due to a disagreement, pursue common ground and look at the 'scorecard' of the person's history with you.
• When voicing opinions, rather than simply repeating the problem, bring a solution or at least a solution-focused attitude to the exchange. 
• It's in our self-interest to be collaborative, both at work and in our personal lives.
• There's many opportunities to become involved in government, seek out how you can contribute to a local organisation.

• If you've experienced criticism as a leader, be encouraged. Recall moments when your investment has impacted others, then allow memory to motivate you to keep going.
