Everyone told her to pick a lane. Cori Linder ignored them. 25 years as a marketing executive. Wrote a book. Competed as a swim coach. All at the same time. She refused to choose—and proved she didn't have to. But here's what actually matters: How do you turn being "complicated" into your competitive edge? In this episode, Cori shares the Identity Pivot—the exact reframe that transforms how you answer "but what do you DO?" when your life doesn't fit a single box: - Why the parts of you that don't fit the job description are actually your superpower - The framework for building multiple empires simultaneously - How to flip pressure ("pick one lane") into permission to build everything - What happens when you stop apologizing for being multi-dimensional This is not about doing it all. This is about refusing to shrink yourself to fit someone else's definition of success. Cori Linder. Executive. Author. Coach. Builder of her own road.

World-class hospitality looks perfect from the outside. Nobody talks about what it costs the people running it. Most leaders choose: Excellence OR wellbeing. Not both. Torsten Richter, General Manager of the legendary Anantara Siam Bangkok, proved there's another way. In this episode, Torsten unpacks: - The leadership philosophy that builds legendary without burning people out - Why emotional intelligence is your competitive advantage - The people strategy that separates good hotels from icons - How to sustain world-class performance (in yourself AND your team) This isn't about thread counts and chandeliers. This is about what separates leaders who build empires from leaders who build them at the cost of their people's health.

Claressa Shields is a 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist, 4-time Undisputed World Champion and professional MMA fighter — the GWOAT. But in this episode she's not talking about trophies.

Nobody talks enough about the friendships that actually  keep you alive. In this Friendsgiving special, Raz sits with three incredible women — Anu Rao, Neetu Singh and Rita Vashee — for a raw, funny and deeply honest conversation about the friendships that shape us, the ones that break us, and everything in between. They go there. All of it. Friendships in your 20s vs your 40s and 50s. Motherhood, marriage and empty-nest bonding. Why women outgrow certain friendships — and why that's okay. Red flags, green flags and the truth about boundaries. Choosing peace over "log kya kahenge." The emotional and cultural layers of South Asian sisterhood. And the friendships that become chosen family. This one is warm, real and deeply validating for any woman at any stage of life. If you've ever loved, lost, rebuilt or redefined a friendship — this conversation will speak directly to your heart. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

The air is killing people across Southeast Asia. And almost nobody is talking about it. Dr. Yongyut Tiyapairat has served as Thailand's Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Secretary to the Prime Minister and President of the National Assembly. He has spent decades at the intersection of politics, policy and environmental crisis — and in this episode he is not holding back. Smoke haze is no longer a local problem. It crosses borders, destroys lungs, collapses tourism economies and devastates agricultural communities — while governments keep announcing bans that nobody enforces. In this episode Dr. Tiyapairat breaks down the real causes behind Southeast Asia's smoke haze crisis, why existing policies have failed, what countries like China, the US and Australia are doing differently and what genuine regional cooperation would actually look like.

A teenage boy. Trapped in a war zone. No way out. Everyone said it was impossible. What Tony Sabio did next — nobody saw coming. Tony Sabio is a U.S. Navy veteran, former Secret Service K-9 handler and CIA counterintelligence expert. When war broke out in Ukraine — he made a choice that would change everything. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what it actually feels like to walk into a war zone alone. What his PTSD really looks like behind closed doors. The moment with one teenager that completely broke a man trained never to show weakness. And why — after everything he's seen — he's still choosing to serve. Because some battles don't end when you come home. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

Someone tried to silence a journalist with 50 years of truth telling behind him. It didn't work.   ⬇️ This one is for everyone who has ever been pressured to stay quiet.   Aziz Haniffa spent 50 years as Washington correspondent for India Abroad — the publication that gave generations of Indian-Americans their first mirror in American media. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what happens when the world tries to stop you from telling the truth. The legacy of India Abroad and what it meant to a community that had no other voice. How fear and polarization are silencing today's journalists. And why courage and compassion are now the most radical things a storyteller can choose.

A government exiled him. They dissolved his party. Took everything. He's still talking. They still can't stop him. Sam Rainsy co-founded the Cambodia National Rescue Party and became the voice of a nation's struggle for democracy. The government dissolved his party. Issued warrants for his arrest. Forced him into exile. He kept going anyway. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about the emotional cost of speaking truth to power, what exile really feels like for a leader who never stopped fighting, and why he believes conscience will always outlast control. Some voices echo louder from exile than from the podiums of power.

He earned 2 Michelin Stars before most chefs find their signature dish. Then came the moment that almost took it all away. Chef Chumpol Jangprai fell in love with cooking at age six.

In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what mastery really costs, why patience and timing are not just culinary philosophy but a blueprint for life, and how Thai cuisine is quietly leading global conversations on sustainability and cultural preservation.

Three elephants named Nee, La and Nun. Four people who gave everything to protect them. This is the conservation story nobody is telling. In Chiang Mai, Thailand, four extraordinary people have dedicated their lives to the quiet, daily work of protecting elephants with dignity and love — Wassana Thongsook, Borpit Chailert, Paruay Chailert and Kenneth Clyde McGregor. Together they built and sustain MaeTaeng Elephant Park & Clinic — a sanctuary where elephants are not performers but family. In this episode they sit down with Raz Patel to talk about what Nee, La and Nun taught them about leadership, trust and patience that no boardroom ever could — and what it actually costs to protect three elephants when nobody is watching. This episode is not about tourism. It's about what happens when four humans decide that three elephants deserve a life worth living. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

Everyone told him to show up on time. He showed up exactly when he was supposed to. Matt Dillon — known as The MD Effect — is a fashion forecaster, cultural architect and media personality who has appeared on NBC, FOX and CW. But this episode is not about fashion. It's about what happens when someone decides that being on time means showing up as exactly who you are — and building everything from there. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what The MD Effect really stands for, how fashion forecasting became a platform for human-centered storytelling, and why being fashionably late is a philosophy — not a schedule. Being fashionably late is not about timing.

She spent years surviving what he did to her. Then she chose to be the one in the room when he took his last breath. Lexi Carington was a child actress. Then came the emotional abuse, the chronic illness, the silence, the Hawaii wildfires. Then came the decision to come back — on her own terms, in her own skin, without apology. In this episode she sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what real forgiveness looks like when the person who hurt you most is the one you're holding at the end. What chronic illness and emotional abuse silenced in her for years. What surviving the Hawaii wildfires taught her about humor and grace. And why returning to the camera wrinkles and all was the most radical act of her entire career. She forgave the man who broke her. Then she held his hand as he passed.

She grew up feeling like she was too Indian for the West and too Western for India. For years Bhavna Bhatia Roszel lived in that gap — navigating the pressure of cultural expectations, generational tradition and the quiet shame of never feeling like enough in either world. Then she wrote a book about it. The "I" in Indian is now a book club favorite — because it turns out millions of women know exactly what that gap feels like. In this episode Bhavna sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what it really means to grow up between two cultures and belong fully to neither. How she found her voice when everything around her told her to stay quiet. Why perfection is not a requirement for worthiness. And what self-acceptance actually looks like when you have spent a lifetime performing an identity that was never fully yours. If you have ever struggled between who you are told to be and who you actually are — this conversation will speak directly to your heart. 📘 Get your copy of The "I" in Indian: iinindian.com/product/the-i-in-indian/ Use code RAZ at checkout for an exclusive discount. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

At 7 years old the system decided his future. He had other plans. Dr. Matthew Rosario survived foster care, served in the U.S. Navy, worked at the Pentagon and secured over $1.7 million in mental health grants to build ClearHorizon Forensic and Counseling Group — an organization dedicated to saving the youth every other system has given up on. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to reveal the question that unlocks every troubled teen nobody else can reach, what the justice system gets catastrophically wrong about youth mental health — and what he would tell his 7-year-old self in foster care. The system wrote him off at 7. He spent the rest of his life proving it wrong. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

Everyone thought he was crazy. A stable IT career. A clear path. A safe future. He walked away from all of it. Then he won 60 international awards. Vigiel Bose grew up in Kochi with creative roots and a family that understood storytelling. Then he ended up in DC in a stable IT career that had nothing to do with any of it. Then he made a choice. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what it actually takes to walk away from security to chase something nobody believes in yet, how rejection became the fuel that built his career instead of ending it, and what his films on Amazon Prime taught him about storytelling that no film school ever could. 60 international awards later — he was right. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

Your doctor has 15 minutes with you. There are things that don't make the cut. Dr. Minnie Cruz Tolantino is a double board- certified physician in family and obesity medicine with over 18 years of experience. She also battled pre-diabetes, hormonal shifts and stress eating during the pandemic — and turned that experience into a mission to completely reshape how women think about their own health. In this episode she sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what perimenopause and hormonal imbalances actually feel like — and what actually helps. How stress, anxiety and hormonal shifts are connected in ways nobody explains. And the one thing about self-advocacy in healthcare that could change the outcome of your next doctor's visit. She's not here to give you a pamphlet. She's here to tell you what's actually going on in your body — and what to do about it. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

A tsunami took everything she had. Exile took everything that was left. Then her heart failed. What she built after all three will stop you cold. Parichat — known as Katie — Namchoo grew up along the Mekong River in northeastern Thailand. She survived a tsunami, organized crime, exile and heart failure. Then she founded Siam Exclusive Gems — a business that bridges Thailand and America and uses every purchase to fund elephants and children in need. In this episode she sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what surviving the unsurvivable actually looks like, how trauma became the foundation of an entirely new identity, and what it means to build something beautiful from the pieces of everything you lost. She didn't rebuild despite everything she lost. She built because of it. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

29 years of marriage. One camera crew. What the cameras caught — and what they almost couldn't survive — is not what you expect. Jamie and Erana Tyler have been married for 29 years. They appeared on the OWN Network's Love & Marriage: DC. They built a family, a business and a mental health foundation — all while cameras filmed their fights, their vulnerabilities and their most private moments. In this episode they sit down with Raz Patel to finally say what they couldn't say on the show — what reality TV actually does to a marriage nobody on a production set will tell you, how they stayed grounded when the world was watching and reframing their story, and why Jamie built a mental health foundation out of everything the cameras captured. They're still standing. Still married. Still building. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

She could have stayed on the dance floor. She had other plans. Reema Kapani started as a choreographer. Then she picked up a camera. Then she started making films that didn't just tell stories — they changed the communities the stories were about. In this episode she sits down with Raz Patel to talk about the pivot from dance to documentary filmmaking and why it was more intentional than accidental. What purpose-driven art actually looks like when it's built to uplift communities. And how creativity becomes a tool for healing when it's pointed at something that actually matters. Dance taught her how to move. Filmmaking taught her how to move people. This is not an episode about dance. This is an episode about what happens when someone refuses to let their art be small. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.

Before you said a word today — your clothes already spoke for you. The question is: did they say what you meant? Barnette Holston — known as DC Fashion Fool — is not a stylist who tells you what to wear. He's a guide who helps you figure out who you are — and then dresses that person with intention. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what your current style is already communicating to every room you walk into, how fashion reflects identity in ways most people never consciously think about, and why personal style is one of the most powerful forms of self-expression available to you every single day. Your style is already telling a story. This episode helps you decide what that story is. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.
