About this episode

Said Eshaghi shares his inspiring journey of escaping his comfort zone during a war and the lessons from his book.

Most of us talk about stepping outside our comfort zone. Said Eshaghi actually escaped his at 15 years old, without his parents, in the middle of a war. In this inspiring interview, I dig into the mindset behind Said's remarkable journey from Iran to Sweden to San Diego, and the powerful lessons inside his book Escape from Comfort. From building resilience through denial, to treating life like a scientific experiment, to finding the deeper purpose behind your goals, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about everything you're going through right now. https://saideshaghi.com/book Visit our YouTube channel and websites, too * unityconsultingllc.com * kathierotz.com I look forward to connecting with you as we challenge your habits so that you are more efficient and fully empowered! https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day⁠ License code: PRHNEXFSFF97ES9Mhttps://uppbeat.io/t/infraction/tokyo-drift⁠ License code: XLZKHAGCHNDDIUAG-
