Fashion, in my opinion, is the strongest tool of self expression. And I am in awe of the people who understand fashion, and I’m lucky to have someone who is quite an expert in luxury fashion, as a guest on our show. The one and only, Rosemin Manji.

Her impeccable style, a chic fusion of elegance and grace coupled with the confidence she projects both on stage as well as within more intimate settings, have earned her global appeal. Her audience relates to the discrete yet luxurious image that Rosemin has come to be known for. Trusting her to draw on her years of knowledge within the fashion and beauty industry, the well-heeled identify with her natural affinity to luxury. Having worked with brands such as Gucci, Burberry, Sotheby’s and Juicy Couture, she holds immense knowledge and experience in the field.

Life is a game, and we’re all playing at our own pace, with our own expertise. Be it business, be it family, be it relationships, all of us have to make our own way within our own capacity. Some of us do exceptionally well at playing this game of life, but some of us also do well at playing the game that entertains billions of people across the world.

Yes, I’m talking about the world of international sports, and today’s guest is someone who has aced both games, and is an inspiration for many. A sports star, an incredible human being and a guiding light for many aspirants excited to walk the same path!

A player of passion, with talent to match, Harbhajan Singh is India's most successful offspin bowler and First Indian to take a Test hattrick. Being the best at what he does, the Harbhajan always had the magic in his fingers to turn matches on his head. Recipient of Arjuna Award in 2003, and Padma Shri in 2009, he has had the best career nationally and internationally, ranging from domestic, IPL, ODI, test, to T20!

With such a magnificent record in his career, he’s an inspiration for many budding spinners. It is truly an honor to have him on our podcast, and I’m going to make sure that we make this conversation worthwhile!

A life that inspires is a life worthwhile. A lot of people live on this earth and every one of us does one thing or the other that affects the life of some or the other person. In fact, the sole purpose of this podcast being to spread the little known truths of entrepreneurship, I take pride in living an intentional life to inspire people with my work.

Hello listeners, I'm Leena Parwani, a celebrity financial entrepreneur with a decade long journey in this field, business enthusiast and your host for this podcast! Welcome to another episode of Leena parwani's audio experience!

Today, on our podcast, we have one special guest, Lucy Chow, Investment Committee Chair, WBAF Angel Investment Fund.

She is the Secretary General, WBAF Global Women Leaders Committee and Investment Committee Chair, WBAF Angel Investment Fund. She is also a Director of Women’s Angel Investor Network and an investor with NextWave Impact Fund, The Founder Institute and Mindshift Capital, the former two based out of the US.

She was recently appointed on the Board of Trustees for The American School of Dubai, as well as the Solidarity Circle, UNHCR. She has also authored and contributed to a lot of inspiring books.

It is my honor to have such an impactful person be here, and discuss her life with us. 

Success doesn’t ever come if you stop trying to reach it. The basic tenet of those who wish to succeed is to be willing to fail.You must take 100% responsibility for EVERYTHING you experience in life. We learn from our failures. A successful person accepts personal responsibility and takes the creator role in their lives. No one can change our lives but ourselves. We are the master of our own universe!!

Everything we want in life involves risks. The purpose of planning is not to eliminate risks but to choose the right one. I believe that a successful person has a high level of self-management and are consistently planning and taking purposeful actions in pursuit of their goals and dreams. They know what it is that they want, and have a plan or know what steps they need to take in order to achieve them.

Today we have one such guest that a lot of people look up to, Mr. Hassan Bouadar, who has achieved some significant milestones during my time at FedEx. The VP of legal, regulatory and human resources at FedEx, his journey started out as an intern at the same organization and he has had an immensely inspiring journey rising through the ranks. Now handling over eighty-five countries, Hassan achieved some significant milestones during my time at FedEx.

Starting his career in 2005 with FedEx as an intern, he progressed to be one of the best employees and achieved Five Star, the company’s highest award, and that too, twice. A natural-born leader, Hassan has honed his abilities by ‘rolling up his sleeves’ and taking up every challenge that comes his way. He is a man who leads by example. A bold leader who is not only a ‘team player’ but a true professional who can make the hard decisions, and I am beyond honored to have him agree to contributing a few minutes of his time to our podcast.
