Description
?️You're The Voice - Episode 23 - Dr. Ahmad Malik - Being Comfortable in the Uncomfortable
My guest today is Dr. Ahmad Malik, an Orthopaedic Surgeon turned podcaster in light of censorship, silencing & sanctions he underwent in the past few years. This episode is a conversation between two friends about the meaning and essence of life, more than it is a ‘podcast episode’. And yet, in this emotional, yet fun episode, Ahmad shares his personal story and his awakening journey. We deeply explore the phenomena of cancel culture and silencing during Covid, especially amongst the medical profession. Ahmad bravely shares the consequences he faced for speaking out, including suspension and losing his job. We also touched on podcasting, building physical and mental resilience, bitcoin, mindset of change adaptation and uncertainty acceptance, finding strength in the face of fear and embracing failure. I think you’ll feel that theme of this episode is the power of love and connection, choosing humanity and unity over division. (This episode was recorded 4 months ago yet still very relevant).
