In this episode of Be Anomalous, I sit down with Shahezad — founder of Cousins Burger — who spent over two decades in IT before walking away from a stable, predictable career to build something completely different.What started as a last-minute decision to show up at a food festival turned into a fast-growing restaurant brand doing millions in revenue.But this conversation isn’t just about business.It’s about unlearning the beliefs you grew up with.Choosing uncertainty over comfort.And building something that feels true to you — even when you’re not sure it will work.We talk about fear, risk, identity, scaling a brand, and how success evolves over time.Shahezad shares the real side of entrepreneurship — the parts that aren’t always visible, but matter the most.If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re ready to start…This episode might change how you think about it.Be bold. Be real. Be anomalous.
