    Bilal Moosa - Success in Life

    In this episode, Arian interviews Bilal Moosa. A person with a big heart, and valuable management, consulting, and teaching experience.  Among others, they discuss Adam Grant's book Give and Take, and whether Mr. Moosa agrees with Grant's assessment that Givers, including Mr. Moosa himself, turn out to be more successful in the longterm.  Below are the main questions asked from Mr. Moosa.  Say you are at a party, surrounded by strangers. How would you introduce yourself to them? How do you define success (in life)? How did you get to where you are today -in terms of your professional life? How would you advise me, or for that matter anybody else who is listening to this interview, to achieve success (the way you see it - your version of success)?
