The Mirror – Real Stories, Raw Reflections What happens when you sit in front of a mirror and face your own story? The Mirror is a podcast where guests open up about the moments that defined them—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. No scripts, no rehearsals—just raw, unfiltered conversations about life, struggles, and personal growth. Each episode is an honest reflection, a deep dive into the experiences that shape who we are. It’s about looking yourself in the eye and sharing the truth, no matter how messy or beautiful it is. Hosted by Vamsi Manniam.

Ex-Prisoner to a Humanitarian - Bariz Shah

Episode Description In this first episode of The Mirror, I sit down with Bariz Shah—author of Beyond Hope, Executive Director of Asturlab, and a leader dedicated to empowering others. Bariz’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. From growing up as an immigrant to navigating struggles with identity, crime, and faith, he turned his life around to become a pillar of strength and leadership. What We Cover: His early life in Pakistan and New Zealand, dealing with racism, abuse, and self-doubt. How his time in prison became a turning point and how he found redemption. The power of faith, self-reflection, and discipline in rebuilding his life. The realities of prison—the struggles, the lessons, and the misconceptions. His work with Asturlab and how he’s creating safe spaces for the Muslim community in New Zealand. The importance of second chances and why he’s advocating for reform in the justice system. Bariz speaks on overcoming adversity, building resilience, and finding purpose in the darkest times. His insights on self-worth, faith, and identity will leave you reflecting on your own journey. This conversation is raw, honest, and powerful—one you don’t want to miss. Hit play, reflect, and share with someone who needs to hear this.
