    The World Needs Artists Too | Marcus the Acrobat | Gen IQ

    Marcus is an acrobat, performer, entertainer, husband and a father who has spent thousands of hours perfecting his art and bringing joy to audiences all around the world. But that’s not the only reason we had this conversation. We first came across Marcus while watching one of his performances. At the end, he said something that was meaningful and powerful in many ways and aligned perfectly with Gen IQ’s message. Addressing the kids, he said that although he had a degree, he consciously chose to become an artist because he believed the world needs artists too. That sentence in itself is fascinating. Because Gen IQ is not really about what people do for a living. It’s about understanding why people choose the paths they do, what they’ve sacrificed along the way, and what they’ve learnt about life because of it. This conversation turned into so much more than a discussion about acrobatics. It was about purpose, childhood dreams, discipline, fear, identity, serving others, and what it really means to build a meaningful life. Welcome to Gen IQ. The Podcast I Wish I Had at 16.

    At what point do we realise we have a choice? | Gen IQ #3

    Did you consciously choose the life you’re living today? Or did you slowly drift into it? This episode, a part of 7 Realisations from the 7772 series of Gen IQ, I explore a question that has been sitting in a little corner of my head: At what point do we realise we have a choice? Looking back on my own life, I don’t think I consciously chose many of the paths I ended up on. Like many people, I drifted into habits, beliefs, environments, and eventually a career without ever stopping to ask where those choices were leading. But somewhere along the way, something changed. This episode explores the idea of agency. The moment we realise we can influence the direction of our lives rather than just react to them. For me, its never about having all the answers. It’s an invitation to ask a better question: What decisions am I making right now without realising it? Welcome to Gen IQ. The Podcast I Wish I Had at 16.

    Years of Work for 18 Seconds of Performance | Chris Mitrevski | Gen IQ

    Today’s conversation is with Australian athlete Chris Mitrevski. Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrismitrevski?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== An Olympian who represented Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games 2018 & 2022, World Athletics Championships and University Games, Chris is also a four-time Australian Champion. But this conversation is not only about athletics. It’s about discipline, resilience, sacrifice, setbacks, family values, heartbreak, mindset, and what it takes to dedicate years of your life to something meaningful. Imagine working for years, making sacrifices most people never see, all for a performance that lasts less than 20 seconds. What keeps someone going? What does excellence actually require? And are elite athletes just built differently, or do they develop habits and perspectives that we can all learn from? As always with Gen IQ, the goal is not to provide all the answers. It’s to ask better questions. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. What is something meaningful you’ve dedicated yourself to?Gen IQ — The Podcast I Wish I Had at 16 Peace & Love, Iqbal

    How Much of Who We Are is Actually Chosen? | Gen IQ #1

    In this first episode of Gen IQ, I thought out loud about: How much of who we are is actually chosen? This episode is part of a 23-episode solo series based on the ideas and experiences that are the base of my book and, ultimately, this podcast. Together, we’ll explore 7 realisations, 7 mistakes, 7 lessons, and 2 pathways that have powerfully influenced the way I think about life. Looking back on my own life, I reflect on family expectations, culture, labels, education, identity, and the environments that shaped me long before I understood what was happening. From being labelled “dumb and stupid” as a child to discovering how a change in environment completely changed my relationship with learning. More importantly, it’s an invitation from me to you to reflect on your own story. What parts of your personality feel chosen consciously? And what parts feel shaped? I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Gen IQ — The Podcast I Wish I Had at 16 New episodes exploring psychology, identity, health, purpose, relationships, culture, money, and the life lessons we’re rarely taught early enough. Peace & Love, Iqbal
