About Karim Boktor
In his first business, he overworked himself and it impacted his growth, his personal life and his team. Which led him to struggle with managing others, let alone himself.
- Being a husband and father to his new first born, he knew that something had to change.
It wasn't working more hours, It wasn't adding more things to his to-do list and it wasn't trying to achieve more to make himself feel better from stress and anxiety.
-
It was his mindset and belief system around business and life that had to shift and change.
-
Through this experience it has led him to overcoming my own self limiting beliefs and conditioning. Now I help other high performers do the same.
-
Is working with top business leaders across the country- Has completed his MBA with a specialty in Entrepreneurship- Is a Master Trainer in NLP, Hypnotherapy & TimeLine Therapy ® and a Dr De Martini Method Facilitator
Empowering people to take control over their health and wellness through a positive relationship with food.
About Chef Dr. Mike Cardiologist. Professor. Chef. Author. Storyteller.
Dr. Mike is a trailblazer in the field of culinary medicine. By combining his culinary talents with cutting-edge medical expertise and evidence-based insights he forges an approach to healthy living beyond mere nutrition or fad diets. He doesn’t believe in setting boundaries when it comes to food.
The ideas that healthy food can’t be flavorful, that tasty food can’t be good for you, or that a one-size-fits-all, healthy diet exists are all myths.
And, one by one, he is busting those myths. Every person is unique—from their body to their preferences. You don’t need a self-described “health expert” telling you what to eat. Instead, through the power of Culinary Medicine you will be armed with evidence-backed knowledge on the relationship between your food and your body. You will be able to make decisions that are right for your health and general wellbeing.
Chef Dr. Mike isn’t here to judge your habits or your tastes. He’s here to help you learn the truth about food and health so that you have the opportunity to make the best choices for yourself and those you care about. When he’s not in the operating room, teaching Culinary Medicine, or in the kitchen; Chef Dr. Mike spends his free time wandering the beautiful Montana mountains with his lovely wife Jennifer and their pair of pound pups. “Forget everything you have been told about food and health. It is not about calories. It is not about separation or deprivation. It is about integration and inspiration.
I want people to forget about eating healthy and I want them to think about eating delicious.” “Culinary medicine is a relatively new discipline based on applying evidence-based data to ancient teachings,” Chef Dr. Mike explained. He added that mainstream medicine has failed to provide people with diets that offer good-tasting meals that are actually good for the body. Culinary Medicine shifts from failed perspectives focusing on 19th century concepts of calories, unintelligible guidelines around percent sat fats and RDAs, and useless palate profiling categories like “dairy” or “red meat,” to focus upon the quality of the ingredients we choose.
With Chef Dr. Mike’s targeted approach to the complete food experience, not just the what we eat, but the how, why, where, when, and with whom, we choose to dine, this revolutionary vision is breaking new ground.

Do you remember when you purchased or bought something for your business where upon paying the invoice, you were left disappointed?
No doubt that in your private life as in business we need office supplies, mechanical and technical products so that out business can operate, however we are often deceived with descriptions and explanations of the items and merchandise.
To avoid this type of disappointment we need professionals who know and understand the supply chain of purchasing, negotiation skills and inspect the items before we commit our hard earned cash !! Look no further, a truly amazing entrepernuer with years of knowledge and experience in buying and purchasing David Barr has explained to me in this tell all interview in what to look for, how to buy and from whom. Needless to say that David is truly an unsung business hero on all levels, he explained how he turned his biggest disadvantage and obstacle into a winning combination, his podcast. Thank you all for listening to this interview and please visit David's links bellow to contact him and learn more about his line of work, Mario.
About Dave Barr
My name is Dave Barr, The Real Life Buyer, and I have been a Purchasing Professional for over 20 years. I started my career as a Technical Apprentice as a 16 year old riding my 50cc trials bike 20 miles to work and back every day, in all weathers. I graduated at 20 and moved into the world of Quality Engineering for the manufacture and testing of industrial diesel engines. I loved the world of Quality Management and studied this subject whilst stepping up and managing a team of inspectors ensuring parts supplied from around the world were to specification. Within a year, the old BS5750 quality management system came to pass, which led me into systems and processes and I worked with a colleague to gain our business this accreditation.
Soon after, a new opportunity yearned and my growing love for windsurfing drew me to a new position by the sea implementing BS5750 for a new company, leading me into becoming a Quality Manager. Within a few years, my influence and support for the Purchasing Manager grew and I regularly attended supplier meetings and developments. This then led me to becoming the Purchasing Manager a year or so later when the opportunity presented itself and so I studied hard with the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply and gained my qualification and membership. I must have been doing something right, as within a few years I was approached by the Group Purchasing Director and was offered the new position of Commodity Manager buying Castings and Forgings worldwide. This exposed me to global manufacturing first hand and I embarked on significant international travels.
A few years later, a significant global manufacturer in the world of war gaming offered me the Procurement Management position. This presented me not only further in-house manufacturing exposure, but new opportunities to globalise the supply chain for incoming products and also global manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and retail. After a wonderful 5 years, new opportunities arose again with a large business delivering significant investment and growth in UK infrastructure. Once again, I was plunged into the procurement of different products, services and now also facilities management.
After the birth of my son, my family yearned for us to return to the coast. I returned to a former global manufacturer and employer, having now amassed further experience. Ten more happy years have passed and my thirst for procurement and facilities continues to drive me.
It is now with this knowledge and experience that I feel compelled to help others. I want YOU to spend your own, or your company’s money, wisely and safely. I will do my best to help and support you on your purchasing and spending journey and I welcome your support and encouragement in this venture.

Rania Shashati – BIOI
migrated to Australia from Sudan when I was only 9 years old. After settling and establishing a new life and culture in Australia, my family and I quickly became assimilated to our new home.
Having completed my Bachelor of Business and Commerce (Management)/Bachelor of Laws and Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, I became admitted as a solicitor to the Supreme Court of New South Wales in August 2014.
In those years, I practiced in suburban firms where my practice was mainly in property law and property related matters. This included coordination and management of property purchase and sale files from start to finish including residential and commercial properties and off the plan development contracts, reviewing general agreements and deeds, drafting agreements, advice, notices, correspondences, liaising with stakeholders including mortgage brokers, banks and other side solicitors.Following on from my practice in the suburban firms, I then moved onto Sydney CBD where I was involved in strata and property related matters.
My practice included liaising with body corporates, strata managers, lot owners, committee members and insolvency firms.
My practice also involved insolvency sale files, drafting agreements, deeds, licences, advice and negotiation of contracts involving property, strata advice, drafting of by-laws, caveats, easements and restrictions.I am a mother of two young children.
My children are the reason and purpose in life. I strive not only for them, but to lead by example so that one day, they may continue in my footsteps and uphold the values and morals I am teaching them.I am also a director of St Michael’s Meals -The Parks which is a charitable organisation outreach of St Michael’s Meals.
I commenced my charity work solo in 2019 through Christmas Toy Drives where over 1000 toys were donated to over four hospitals during the Christmas season. After initiating several other projects including elderly parcels and care packages, I became a director of St Michael’s Meals – The Parks and have since been carrying on those initiatives.
My latest focus is on feeding the homeless in the Western suburbs and reaching out to the vulnerable and those in need.I am an individual who not only wears my heart on my sleeve and strives to achieve the best outcome for those I meet, I am also a personable and resilient person and always endeavour to assist those around me as much as possible.
My family, law and helping others are my passion and mission in life.

Interview with Alexander Biro ( bio below ) My name is Alexander Biro. I am in my 30s, a senior talent manager for a global intelligence firm by career and an avid traveler by passion, I own and run the travel page called Spread Your Arms Wide (@spread_your_arms_wide on Instagram).I was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to the UK at the age of 15. My mother is Zimbabwean and my father is Hungarian, interestingly he was a trapeze artist in the circus and traveled the world performing.
From my earliest memories as a child I can remember amazing family trips, traveling to Europe or America by plane to visit family or to different parts of Africa on road trips.By the age of 15 I had pretty much traveled both hemispheres but that was under my parents guidance, I think it’s truly what sparked my interest in traveling and exploring and it really sparked this burning ambition that I still have to see what is out there in the world.I began traveling alone around the age of 17, my first actual solo trip was on a squash tour to Guernsey (a beautiful channel island near France) and I straight away felt at home being by myself in an unknown place, in the world of travel.
Ever since then I have managed to touch down in some of the most amazing locations and experienced some of the most amazing cultures and cuisines, it’s really what inspires me!This is where the Spread Your Arms Wide journey began, as I started to travel more and more, everywhere I went I would always take atleast one photo spreading my arms with a beautiful scenery behind me and post it to Facebook. It was kind of a running joke that I was really running with, fast forward a few years and my friends started nudging me about this platform called Instagram and to open a page, thankfully I caved in after a while and decided to do it again as a joke.
So I opened my account in June 2016 and as i said It was still very much continuing as a joke or fun thing, didn’t think that it would catch on but to my surprise within a few months I had grown to few thousand followers and then I realised that I had a real platform that I had to explore and utilise, by 2019 I had reached 8000 followers and when covid hit I grew to around 11000 followers and today I am at around 13,000.
The most amazing and inspiring thing about it for me is the beautiful pictures and videos that I get sent everyday and as I grew the account I made a decision to change it from being centered around me personally to becoming a sort of community of people exploring and feeling free but with me we the focal point. I started selling merchandise during the 1st lock down in the UK and I have now sold over 100 hoodies, similar amounts of shirts and all of this is through word of mouth and people supporting me.I am in a really amazing position where I have friends who are in the social media industry and they have really helped me to realise the potential and how to monetize by creating a platform for people within the realms of travel. I make sure to use their expertise as much as possible. SYAW has now turned from my page, to a travel community and I hope in the future to be able to find ways to turn it into something even more special and even bigger.
I feel my background and experiences well as my professional career put me in good stead to really take this idea of travel, freedom and motivation mixed together and turn it into something for anyone and everyone. It’s one of the key reasons why I chose to use the name of Nelson Mandela’s book as the SYAW motto “The Long Walk To Freedom” .

Storytelling helps to create powerful awareness. Because STIMGA, can turn us all to DUST.
There is something about, global LOVE delivered through storytelling. The POWER of lived experience. I have Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, diagnosed after a workplace sexual assault that occurred in mid-2015. I had all my traumas resurface and I guess describing this would be Pandora’s BOX was now opened.
I had the pleasure of support in late 2018 from an amazing social worker and was guided to try my hand at poetry through a website that empowers victims of sexual assault and or child abuse. “We will not go QUIETY”. At first, I felt a PTSD rage response, frustrated I cannot write poetry.
Something happened my authentic hidden self-found light. I could write poetry and I was rather good at it. Through each new poem, I was releasing stored emotional trauma. Through a safe environment, pen to paper - letting it all go through poetic words. Poetry became the medicine that was giving me back my needed quality of life, now living again.

“It was a great interview last week with George Hazim from "The Infromer" so this week we had discussion with Franciso who shared news with our listeners you will not hear nowhere else so tune in and enjoy true journalism.
Roslyn Trimboli has a Master of Physiotherapy and is a practitioner with over 13 years’ experience in Sports Physiotherapy. Trimboli is the Head Physiotherapist and owner of Back on Track Health Clinic in Western Sydney and the creator of the Brace Yourself Posture Brace®.
Roslyn grew up playing all sports and eventually played professional netball and became Sports Captain in High School. She has dedicated her life to sports and saw many professional athletes ruin their careers because of injuries.
That’s what ignited her passion for correcting patient’s injuries to prevent the surgery pathway. She believes surgery should be the last resort and all treatment options should be considered first.
Her method is unique. Through the analysis of the body, its biomechanics and physical preparation, she knows athletes can feel prepared for an injury-free season and if treatment is required, Roslyn designs programs to give them a speedy and safe return to sports with not career-ending injuries.
After 13 years treating thousands of patients, Roslyn started seeing an increased number of people coming through the doors of her clinic with back, neck and shoulder pain caused by poor posture. Further researched identified that these issues originated mainly from patient’s work posture habits and their productivity at work was being compromised.
Unable to find a medical-grade posture brace that didn’t provide patients with discomfort from pinching, elastic band displacement and tension around the shoulders, Roslyn decided to design her own high-performance posture brace that would give her patients the results and comfort they needed.
“Good posture ensures the muscles surrounding the spine are balanced and supporting the body equally. It can help boost energy levels, and enables you to breathe better, maintain form when exercising and reduce your chances of injury when performing physical activities.
The body is a fantastic structure that can heal if aligned correctly. The Brace Yourself Posture Brace® was designed to provide clients the best opportunity to improve their posture and overall health”.

About: Catherine Lyell
Catherine is men’s health & porn addiction specialist“I started Integrated Men’s Health 5 years ago because my purpose and mission was to educate men on how they can live their lives at a much higher level than they ever thought possible!I’ve been in the business for over 15 years now, and I’ve never seen any group of people (men, women, or children) react to these treatments and commit to their own healing like I’ve seen men do.
So much so, that they fly in from interstate just to work with me. I’m leaving a legacy of evolved and conscious men, by creating a new path of growth and sexual connection. Healing by touch and energetic medicine, clearing blockages and facilitating a new direction forward, providing them with skills and tools that they can take back into their lives and implement.I’ll help you quit porn for good and connect to your own body and to the feminine.
My treatments and coaching programs will see you completely overhaul all areas of your life, correcting erectile dysfunction, improving sex drive, increasing energy, teaching you how to master sexual energy, and most importantly - healing the neural damage (and mental health issues) caused by pornography.
The work I’m doing is new, it’s complex, and it’s unbelievably profound. I treat each client holistically; treating the person, not the symptoms. Treatment and education is delivered in a very masculine-friendly environment, offering a feminine and nurturing approach.We are shaping the future, paving the way for future generations by healing the fathers and sons. My programs are intuitive and successful, and my incredible healing systems address all levels and dimensions of your being.
We do that through Kinesiology, Chiron Healing, Intuitive Healing, Psychospiritual Therapy, Tantric Healing, Integrated Massage Therapy, Trascendental Energy Healing, Lomi Lomi Bodywork, Kundalini Activation, Andromedan Sacred Geometry, Couples Therapy, Soul Integration, Brain Integration, DNA & Sacred Ancestral Clearing, and Transformational Coaching.It's a mess out there. Imagine a place where men could have their person pampered and healed - without question or judgement. Lets get talking and get this "underground" issue out in the open! I know how difficult this is for you, and I know how destructive porn and erectile dysfunction is in any man’s life. My heart is open as I hold space for you to heal.

Nicole Yeates was born in Newcastle, Australia and grew up in New Zealand from the age of three, moving back to Australia at age 20.
As a teenager, her career goal was to be a Psychologist, but at the age of 16 a motorcycle accident would change her life forever. She went from a super fit, sporty, carefree teenager to a devastating prognosis of ‘expect death or life in a vegetative state’.
She died three times and lapsed into a natural coma, eventually waking up unable to walk, talk or control any of her bodily functions. Change can happen in an instant, without notice, warning or preparation. Change can also happen through planning and can be either wanted or unwanted.
Whatever the situation, we need to be equipped to deal with it. Holding On To Hope assists people to bust through barriers to overcome or manage adversity. Today, Nicole speaks to us as a best-selling author, Key Note Speaker, Rehabilitation Counsellor and Brain Health Educator.
Based in Brisbane, Nicole is passionate about assisting people to bust through barriers, to be their best.
About Pjero Mardesic
Pjero Mardesic is at the forefront of partnering senior executives / people of influence from any addictions holding them back to living and leading an exceptional life.
Throughout his journey he has witnessed time and time again senior executives who were hindered by anxiety, overwhelm, stress, depression, financial pressure, addictions, namely alcohol, substance abuse, sex, gambling, etc.
Mental health/well-being in the corporate workplace usually is aimed at the employee level but rarely is it a topic that is spoken about within the executive community due to the stigmatization involved.
About Philip Robison
When I started out building Saving Brothers I used my own journey as a starting point.I had been what I thought was successful in building a Mortgage Practice but never recovered from the Global Financial Crisis of 2009.I was doing the typical things for many men trying to keep up with everyone else and my measure of success was what I had nice houses, kids in Private School, beautiful cars and travel.
Yet I still felt empty…like “Is all there is…”In September 2014 after a routine annual visit to my G.P. I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and on 16 December 2014 I had my Prostate removed. Since that time I have had 5 surgeries for various complications. It was a very lonely time for me and it culminated in my marriage of 22 ½ years coming to an end on June 14 2018.A difficult separation ensued with me no longer living with my children which has continued since June 2018.During this time I felt alone and isolated from my children and local community.
In April 2020 I decided I wanted to build a Legacy beyond my lifetime and I created Saving Brothers. My mission was to make sure men no longer felt alone and uncomfortable about talking about their feelings and being vulnerable.My mission was also to be there to support men when they were feeling a sense of helplessness.Since finishing school in 1984 I have seen 4 of my school friends take their own lives.
Saving Brothers was designed to be a Resource for men to get support, to learn about how to take better care of themselves both their physical and mental health. To be a Platform for men to seek help for women to access resources to support the men in their lives and for Men to get access to Coaching and Mentoring where they need it.With the release of our Wellness App for Men next month our Global Program called Keep5Alive will help to save millions of lives across the Globe.
