Like, give me a little bit of background on where you're from, how you got here into the Brad Weisman Show studio.

I'm going to make a nice and short story.

Born and raised in Belgium, parents of Indian descent.

I've lived in five countries across three continents with the current country being the UAE and living in Dubai, which has now been home for me for the last 19 years.

And that's given me a real global look and understanding of different cultures and different belief systems.

And I think that's really helped me because when I'm speaking as a professional speaker and as a coach, I come across people from all walks of life.

And the fact that I have some level of understanding because I'm just, you know, when someone talks about diversity, I don't get it because that's all I've ever had in my life.

But

But as far as us delivering on that promise, what has you excited? What kind of people do you help?

The people that I work with are highly successful entrepreneurs.

What does highly successful mean? They have net worth eight figures.

They have companies that are leading in their spaces.

It's usually a combination of those two.

They're living a great lifestyle.

They've got a nice, you know, they've got the car, the holidays, the lifestyle, family in many cases, children.

So is there anything you feel like sharing about your own kind of, you know, missteps, failures, past mistakes?

21st Century Entrepreneurship with Martin Piskurek [gentle music] So Martin, here's something I think a lot of your listeners already know but haven't said out loud yet.

The definition of success most business owners are chasing was never actually theirs.

They inherited it from family, from culture, from the people around them, and no matter how many milestones they hit, it never quite feels like enough.

Because the whole game was built on someone else's criteria.

And I know this because I lived it.

At 36, I had fivefold net worth growth in 10 years, businesses across two continents, all of it, and yet I nearly died in a car crash because I was running so hard I fell asleep behind the wheel.
