There Is No Mountaintop | Soul Sessions with Imran Syed

from Soul Sessions · host Damon

Imran Syed sold a company that had been around for over a decade. He fought to keep the deal alive, became CEO to bring it back from the brink, and when it finally closed he turned to his wife, said "I did it," and cried.Then he looked up and saw the next mountain.In this episode of Soul Sessions, Imran takes us through the inflection points that shaped him. Switching five schools in five years as his family migrated from Saudi Arabia to Canada. Learning at ten years old that the only constant is the person in the mirror. Watching soccer from the sidelines as the only kid who looked like him, and holding onto it as the one thing that felt like home.We talk about what it really feels like to go from leading 150 people to leading no one, why he runs toward the things that scare him, and the idea that quietly reframes everything: there is no mountaintop. No nirvana. No end state. Just movement, and the choice to be at peace with it.If you are in an uncertain season, this one is for you.Guest: Imran Syed, founder of Hatchproof, building a new way to think about performance and the whole human at work.Soul Sessions explores the inflection points that shape who we become. New episodes this season focus on curiosity and the people who keep showing up through uncertainty.
