In this episode of TINITALK, host Tini Fadzillah sits down with her longtime friend Alim(Business and Brand Strategist, Ontological Coach, Founder of Play Persay) to explore how play unlocks performance and why brand-building starts with identity. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in both corporate marketing and people development, Alim shares how he came to create a consultancy built on the belief that good people doing good things deserve to thrive.

Throughout their conversation, Tini and Alim unpack the “ontological lens” that underpins his work—highlighting the power of declarations, how our language shapes who we become, and why entrepreneurs need to align inner purpose with outward expression. They discuss branding as a conscious choice rather than simply matching the inside and outside, and they challenge leaders to access a state of play where collaboration and creativity flourish. Whether you are a founder, a coach, or simply curious about personal and professional growth, this episode offers fresh insights into the interplay between identity, business strategy, and the joy of play.

What does it really mean to be human?

We are kicking off the first episode of the year with a powerful (and delightfully personal) conversation where anthropology meets ontological coaching.

Host Tini Fadzillah is joined by her sister (yes, actual sister!), cultural anthropologist Dr. Ida Fadzillah Leggett, for this premiere episode.

Together, they explore how these two distinct lenses ask the same big questions: identity, meaning, culture, embodiment, and our ongoing evolution.

Expect curiosity, laughter, and a few classic sisterly jabs as they dive into what it truly takes to grow - both personally and collectively.

In this episode, Tini Fadzillah sits down withDr Naras Lapsys, a dietitian and longevity medicine consultant, to explore the concept of longevity—what it means to live not just longer, but healthier and full of vitality. They examine the critical distinction between lifespan and health span, questioning how we can prevent a prolonged “sick-span” and ensure that our later years are vibrant.

Dr Lapsys challenges common assumptions about ageing, and together, they unpack the fallacies surrounding living longer while staying healthy, offering insights into the paradigm shift that living both healthily and longer is possible. Drawing inspiration from Peter Attia’s "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity," they discuss longevity through the lens of science, behaviour change, and an ontological approach to health and wellbeing.

What does longevity mean to you? Is it enough to simply live longer, or are you living with vitality? And for what greater purpose? Tune in to discover a fresh perspective on longevity.

Join us in this enriching podcast episode, where we delve into integrity - the true mark of leadership in the newly released book titled "Discover The Matrix," written by Angela Cusack—an internationally recognized Master Certified Coach, Advanced Certified Team Coach, and Accredited Coaching Supervisor. Angela also serves as a mentor and coach in The Coach Partnership’s Team Coaching and Newfield Program.

As a storyteller, speaker, and coach, Angela has dedicated her life to helping others discover their true selves. Yet, the discovery is only the beginning.

Our integrity is the single most crucial quality that we, as leaders, must possess for a sustainable future together.

If you are like most people who have embarked upon an ontological or transformational journey, you have increased your self-awareness and become much more effective at setting goals, inspiring and coaching others, and creating results.

However, it is also very common to find that you are now also much harder on yourself than before—because you have much higher standards for yourself and much bigger expectations. Chances are, you have made more progress in accepting and contributing to others than you have in accepting and acknowledging yourself. You continue to be your own biggest critic. Despite becoming more successful, that nagging sense of unworthiness and fear of never living up to your full potential remain. Sometimes, you may even wonder if you will ever be truly happy or genuinely satisfied.

Are you ready to elevate your ontological and transformational journey? Take a moment to explore this captivating episode, where Tini Fadzillah delves into the realm of "Shadow" work with master trainer Keith Bentz. Discover the essence of Shadow and why it is hailed as the ultimate step in self-acceptance.

While immersing yourself in this podcast, we encourage you to reflect on the aspects of yourself that you resist or even find shameful - the aspects that you hide from the rest of the world and would prefer not to see in yourself. Consider the physical, mental and emotional costs that you and others pay for such resistance. Moreover, contemplate the profound impact it would make on your life and the lives of others, if you were to come from a place of genuine, whole-hearted self-acceptance.

Keith Bentz is a master trainer with 30+ years of experience designing and leading intensive experiential workshops for both individuals and businesses. A graduate of Stanford University, he has designed and led programs that empower people to live authentic, purposeful, and passionate lives for more than 75,000 participants from around the globe.

Who have you decided you are? When and why did you decide that? What evidence do you use to reinforce your beliefs about yourself? What evidence do you ignore that enables you to keep them?

In this episode of Tini Talks, hear Tini discuss the power of identity with Marcus Marsden, Managing Partner of The Coach Partnership (TCP) and The Works Partnership (TWP), companies that offer world-class leadership development, coaching, coach training and certification.

Following the success of the book Fit to Lead, written with his wife, Sari, Marcus is launching a new book on leadership development and coaching entitled “Start With Who”.

His new book continues the theme of challenging received wisdom in the world of development, coaching and training. It is the product of 35 years of experience, gleaned from a Philosophy degree at Oxford University, a business education with Unilever, and coaching experience with The Coach Partnership and The Works Partnership.

In Start With Who, Marcus focuses on the role of identity and context in performance. Whereas conventional thinking would have you focus on establishing ‘SMART goals’ and ‘starting with why’, Marcus argues that there is a deeper level that first must be addressed. Only when you identify and work with your underlying beliefs about who you are today, and who you can become in the future, will you unleash your full potential.

The book cuts through the complexity that often attends this kind of work and makes a clear and incisive case for the importance of ‘starting with who’ if you want to transform your capacity to produce results.

Dive into this conversation with Tini and Marcus, and let’s see what you discover in the heart of identity.
