Description

What if thriving isn’t about chasing someone else’s definition of success, but about making intentional choices every single day?

In this powerful episode, Junaid Ahmed sits down with entrepreneur, coach, and conservationist Rand Selig, author of "Thriving," to uncover the real science and psychology behind living a life of vitality, fulfillment, and meaning.Rand shares the untold story behind his book, the daily habits that fuel his energy, and the mindset shifts that separate those who merely survive from those who truly thrive. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom, emotional depth, and the kind of curiosity-driven insights that will make you rethink what’s possible in your own life.

What You'll Learn:

  • Thriving starts with intentional choices and self-awareness—write down your values and revisit them often.

  • Success is personal: define it on your own terms, not by society’s standards.

  • Building resilience means embracing new chapters, learning from mistakes, and staying curious.

  • Energy and vitality are sustained by daily habits, self-care, and knowing when to recharge.

  • True connection comes from being present, reflecting on experiences, and nurturing relationships.
