Bari’s Journey: Recent Episodes
Abdullah Bari
Welcome to my journey! I am planning to document my journey from where I am now to where I want to go in my life. There are no rules with this podcast, I’ll be honest, I’m not going to have the same quality (in sound) as other podcasts, but I am going to be sharing my 100% truths throughout my journey. Why? Because, many years from now, I want to look back at all my ups and downs and if I don’t share the low points, I wouldn’t be able to inspire people in the long term which is something I’m also looking to achieve, the same way Nipsey Hussle did for me through his music, interviews, etc!
It has been a while since I’ve documented anything on this podcast, I’ve been away on a holiday and still am and a lot has happened since I’ve last spoken on here.
THANK YOU CHELSEA FC FOR AN EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE IN MY FINAL HOURS AT THE AGE OF 21 ⚽️💙
Special day! My last day at 21 and Champions League Final Day, which my team, Chelsea play in! 💙
Please speak up and pray for Palestine. Our people are suffering and we need to speak up for them. ❤️🙏
On this day I had team training. After training I go past Walthamstow, the area in which Hussain Chaudhry was killed just recently. I felt really emotional going through the area and it gave me this new outlook and just appreciating being safe and healthy.
Another day in the life, but in this one I talk about something that has gotten me down recently. RIP Hussain Chaudhry. RIP Sarah Everard. 🙏
Happy birthday to the legend, J. Cole. In this episode, I talk about his impact on me, this generation and hip hop.
One year ago today, we lost Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant and 7 other victims to a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the tragedy, because although it has been a year, it still hurts a lot. We miss you Kobe and Gianna ❤️😪
In this episode, I talk about Frank Lampard’s time at Chelsea as a manager. So thankful for the memories!
This episode was recorded on the 31st of December 2020. The last day of a challenging year.
A good start to the new week. Learned something from last weeks mistake too which I discuss in the episode. Let’s go
Some very good early progress with the new programme. Looking forward to the comings weeks and months ahead with this new programme 🙏
This episode was recorded on 7th October. A good day filled with football, Abs work and getting my daily steps in. Let’s keep it going

I didn’t end up doing the fitness session today, so just did my strength training for the day.
This is my 50th episode! Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to listen. I know I’ve not been consistent and this isn’t the highest quality of a podcast, but the goal is again, to document the journey and I’m doing so, literally by using the voice notes app on my phone. Making it happen in whatever way I can. Not going to wait to be perfect. This is me. I’m a work in progress. 🏁
Recorded this right after another intense training session after a few days of recovery in Holland.
This was recorded right after my 4th trial in 6 days, and 5th trial since lockdown. I have finally found a team that is willing to give me that opportunity that I’ve been working for. It’s on me to secure my spot in the team as a crucial player.
This was recorded straight after Saturday 18th July, a very frustrating day. Didn’t get rejected, in fact was invited to go to training the next Sunday but I didn’t feel welcome on the day of the trial, opportunities were limited despite promises that I’d get one. I still will hold accountability because I want to be the one responsible for my everything, including my downfalls.
This was recorded straight after my second trial for another team since lockdown on 16th July. I eventually got rejected...
I plan to get back to documenting my journey but I will continue to share information and educate people about the Black Lives Matter movement but also the history.
I took a break from posting anything that is not related to the BLM movement and I didn’t upload a podcast because I didn’t want to do anything but spread as much information and knowledge as possible and I will CONTINUE to keep doing so.
I’m tired of the racism man. It should never have entered the world, but it’s 2020 now. It shouldn’t be an issue but it is.
Yo. This episode is taken right after my first proper (home) workout after Ramadan and Eid. Looking forward to building up the consistency from here!
In this episode I talk briefly about some of the Bundesliga games over the weekend. Impressed especially by many of the players in the league, a lot of great talent.
Yo! This episode I talk about hopefully getting back to my routine and looking forward to the future!
Today I was able to drive again in my area after getting the car fixed. It feels weird seeing my area almost empty
In this one, I talk about being happy and doing this by not following the structures that so many believe they have to follow for ‘success’.
Didn’t do much today, mainly down to waking up late. Just some ab training right before Iftar, that’s it...
In this episode I talk about my admiration for Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland. I recorded this on the Sunday of the weekend that Bundesliga football returned.
Recorded this on Sunday afternoon. Bundesliga action resumes and I’m excited to watch football again!
This ones an emotional one, I love you Nipsey Hussle. Forever. The Marathon Continues 💙🏁
This episode is recorded in my living room, just before starting my uni assignment. I also talk about a lesson I learned in the past year, that I want to share so others can also learn. You got to do things yourself and stop relying on others and this is something I learned in the last year.
In this one I’m talking about my life in quarantine. It’s not an ideal time for us and I feel the need to document this struggle that we are all facing now. I’m hoping that this global pandemic is just another obstacle that we overcome in the pursuits to our goals.
In this episode, I talk about how I became a Chelsea fan, some of my favourite memories and what I feel like about the future for my team.
In this episode I talk about what I did on this day last year. Worked at Brighton vs Manchester City on the day City won the league
This episode was recorded before I launched this podcast. I just had ideas of doing this but as mentioned before, my schedule didn’t allow for it. This was taken after the Chelsea vs Ajax match at Stamford Bridge, which ended 4-4. I just got off the bus and walked home and as I was doing that, I just got my phone out and started recording this on the voice note app.
In this episode, I am going to go talk about my fitness journey. I have went through many lows and highs during this process of getting in the best shape of my life. I am still not there yet but I am very happy with where I’ve come to from where I was and I’m excited to keep it going and get in an even better place, physically and mentally. I started to train seriously from late 2018/early 2019 onwards. I have a goal that I am working towards which has given me the motivation to commit fully on my workouts and nutrition. It’s about the mindset.
Welcome to my first ever episode. I am looking forward to documenting my journey towards my goals and I hope to inspire people along the way! Enjoy my first episode, let’s see where we go from here!
