Every episode is a deep conversation with people who chose courage over comfort. We talk about mindset, identity, fear, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to build a life on your own terms. No scripts. No filters. Just honest conversations.https://courageous-ones.captivate.fmfalseepisodicnopodcastFollow Your Curiosity & Your Life Will Change – AnasFollow Your Curiosity & Your Life Will Change – AnasAnas grew up cutting hair in his garage in Montreal, then booked a one way flight to Dubai with no connections and built Backalive Barbershop into one of the busiest barbershops in the city by posting the whole journey on TikTok. Now he is building software that lets barbershop owners talk to their own data using AI. We get into the failed move to LA, the pivot to Dubai, and going from three barbers to seven in a matter of months.

We talk about curiosity as the skill that compounds over a lifetime, why knowledge means nothing without action, and the conversation Anas had with his mom before he left, where he asked her one question that changed everything. We also get into flow state, vibe coding with AI, and the books that shaped both of us.

The back half goes deep on fear of judgment, why almost nobody is thinking about you, and the Tao Te Ching, Naval Ravikant, and stoicism. We close on the best advice Anas ever received, and why most of the resistance to your dreams comes from people who never tried it themselves.

In this episode she talks about landing in China on a modeling contract, getting told to lose weight on day one, spending two months working hard, then getting sent home anyway.

We go into the two years she spent not eating carbs out of fear, the first agent she signed with who told her she could not run because her legs would get too big, and how she used a lawyer to walk away from that contract. She built Monique Models to be the kind of agency she never had.

The conversation ends on solo travel as the fastest way to find yourself, why the things that scare you most are usually worth doing, and the one piece of advice from her dad she still lives by.

He's the founder of Six Realms Production and his latest film Free Tea Bed is on Apple TV. In this episode, we get into what it took to follow a creative path with no roadmap, why he believes making bad work is the only way forward, and how a late-night conversation about Tibetan identity became the seed for his short film You Tibetan.

We go through how he dropped pre-med at City College to pursue acting, what the Meisner Technique changed in him, and how he made You Tibetan for $500 with his wife holding the camera. We talk about flow state, creating for yourself before thinking about the audience, the life lesson filmmaking gave him about asking for help, and the question every Tibetan diaspora person carries: if Tibet was free tomorrow, would you go back?

The back half covers how his definition of success has shifted over time, what the attempt means even when the outcome is uncertain, what it means to be a second-generation Tibetan building something in the West, and the message he has for young Tibetans figuring out their path. The episode ends with four words from a theater director that changed how he works.

This is his second time on Courageous Ones.

He hit his first online income milestone and felt almost nothing. We talk about why that happens, why the goal line keeps moving, and what it means to track progress when you are early in the game. The conversation covers enjoying the process without forcing it, dealing with dark stretches, and a concept Yassine came up with live on the call: active patience.

We also get into intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation, why journaling is the one habit Yassine keeps coming back to, and what he wants young people building something to understand about their own value.

We met playing chess at Sam's Farm café in Canggu, Bali, became friends over a couple of weeks, crossed paths again in Chiang Mai, and this is the first time we sat down properly to talk.

The episode covers what military service does to your mind, the difference between discipline and self-discipline, why going through hard experiences raises your baseline so ordinary life feels easier, and the misogi concept. Nils also shares a sharp take on hope — why people living in the worst conditions often have the most faith — and the mice experiment from Goggins' book that explains what hope actually does to human endurance. The back half goes into materialism, comparison, journaling, and how to figure out what you want from life by first naming what you don't.

Two friends who met in Bali, catching up for the first time on record. If you want to build a mind that nothing can break, this one is worth your time.

She worked with brands like Hypebeast, directed music videos, and freelanced across fashion and music. In late 2024 she decided to travel. She ended up in Chiang Mai, Thailand, found Dang Muay Thai, got a job there, and never went back.

In this episode, Amy and Tenzin talk about what it actually costs to leave a career that was working, how she started Muay Thai with zero experience in Australia and is now fighting competitively, and why she gets in the ring for her dad who passed away from cancer seven years ago. They also get into the London networking event she went back to after a year away, why she left after 10 minutes, and what that moment made clear about how much she had changed.

The back half of this conversation is about presence. Amy teaches yoga at Dang Muay Thai and sees it as the partner to fighting. Muay Thai forces you into the present moment. Yoga gives you the tools to take that into your daily life. She talks about protecting your energy, stopping people pleasing, and the advice she received about living with intention and being true to yourself. That note is what this episode ends on.

He completed his first 50K ultra marathon at 15 with almost no training, becoming one of the youngest finishers in the world. He is now building PlayR, a basketball app to make pickup games accessible to everyone.

This conversation covers smile maxxing, morning routines, delusional confidence, and what it looks like to build a startup in your first year of college. At 16, Noah lost his biggest role model to a sudden heart attack. A week before that, he went through a breakup. He talks about that period, the lonely chapter that followed when he quit basketball cold turkey, and how he learned to break every hard thing into one step at a time.

The back half goes into Marcus Aurelius, the Inner Game of Tennis, and why chasing your purpose is exactly what keeps you feeling behind. He closes with the one piece of advice he lives by: the more good you put into the world, the more good comes back.

We talk about what it's actually like being a Tibetan in Bollywood, how he learned to stop saying yes to everything and nearly burned out doing it, and why he eventually stopped editing his own work to protect his creative energy. Tenzin breaks down color grading, guerrilla shooting, and the real difference between beginners who overthink and professionals who just cut.

The back half gets personal. We go into perfectionism, his short film about the irony of Tibetan identity and counterfeit culture, and what it means to finally let yourself enjoy life after years of putting work first.

He spent three years in a corporate IT job before quitting to build something of his own, starting with almost nothing and learning everything from sewing to manufacturing on the way.

We talk about why he chose fashion as a vehicle for cultural preservation, how he survived months of zero sales without giving up, and what it actually means to have a USP when you're building a brand from scratch. Jinsel also breaks down the content creation side, the Lakar series he built around Tibetan culture, and why niche matters more than volume.

The back half covers Buddhism, his dream of documenting Tibetan fashion before it fades, and why his one mantra is just two words: just do it.

He lost his dad at a young age, grew up with a single mother, and has been doing the hard work of proving that little boy wrong ever since.

We talk about the valley of despair, why most dreams die in the middle and not at the start, and what it actually means to be persistent versus just busy. Aniq breaks down why intrinsic motivation is the only thing that keeps you going when results are nowhere in sight.

The back half gets into self-love versus selfishness, living in seasons, and the question that cuts through everything: what are you willing to suffer for? One of the most honest and energetic conversations on the show.

He started a clothing brand rooted in Tibetan Buddhism and Bhutanese cultural heritage, designing pieces inspired by the mask dances, temple motifs, and stories he grew up with.

We talk about what it actually takes to start something when you overthink everything, how introverts can use their sensitivity as a strength, and why keeping promises to yourself is the only way to build real confidence. Sonam shares how stacking small evidence, one kept promise at a time, changed his relationship with himself.

We go deep on biohacking. Dominic walks through his microbiome experiment, growing Lactobacillus reuteri at home in a yogurt maker and drinking it daily for gut health and mood. We cover omega-3, vitamin D dosing based on blood tests, and why he takes 10-15g of creatine a day for brain performance, not the gym.

Inconsistent, stuck in cycles, starting on Monday and quitting by Friday. Then he got a coach. Nine months later, everything changed — his body, his energy, his mindset, and eventually his whole direction in life.

Now he coaches others through the same process. This conversation is about what discipline actually looks like when the motivation runs out.

We get into:

Why adherence — not the perfect program — is the only word that matters in fitness How going all in from zero is the fastest route to quitting The all or nothing mindset that keeps most people stuck for years Why a body transformation is one of the best ways to learn delayed gratification How creating content makes you smarter — because the best way to learn is to teach Why doom scrolling is destroying attention spans and what to do instead The difference between instant gratification and the boring unsexy work that actually compounds How Aniq started running half marathons despite having asthma — and inspired everyone around him to run too Why being the example is more powerful than any lecture How fitness changes the way you treat everyone around you

The boring stuff is the stuff that works. That's the whole game.

This is one of the most honest conversations on the show. Yassin doesn't perform. He thinks out loud.

We get into:

Why he grew up feeling less than everyone around him — and how that became the root of everything How Japan changed him at a cellular level and why part of him is still there The difference between chasing happiness and finding peace — and why peace is harder What it means to be a deep thinker and why it's both a gift and a source of constant suffering Why he tried a Shopify store, an Amazon KDP journal, an app, paper trading, and lost 2K in one night How his mom walked into his room crying after watching him beat himself up in a video Why he wouldn't want to live if he couldn't have the life he actually wants What Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, Marcus Aurelius, and Naruto's Rock Lee all have in common The pressure of a self-imposed deadline — and why he keeps going anyway

Stay low enough, long enough, and you'll be big enough soon enough.

He moved to Cyprus, then back to Cameroon, then to Belgium — alone, no family nearby, working an 11-hour student job, editing videos at midnight, going to the gym before anyone else is awake.

He started his content creation journey the day Tenzin told him: if you want to make me happy, just record one video today. He did it that night. This conversation is about what happened after.

We get into:

Why he started his self-improvement journey after a breakup and a difficult period with his documents in Belgium How he went from watching videos to actually taking action — and what changed in his mind Why he believes in thinking 5 to 10 years ahead instead of chasing quick results The difference between people who see to believe and people who believe in order to see How the Courageous Ones community changed his daily output and consistency What it means to chase your dreams when your family back home doesn't fully understand what you're building yet Why the person you become on the journey matters more than the result you get How he works all day, comes home, and still finds time to create, read, and train Why quitting one thing makes it easier to quit everything

It's simple. Not easy. There's a difference.

That upbringing shaped everything.

In his late twenties, a doctor told his family he wouldn't survive. They didn't tell him. He found out six years later. By then, he had already rebuilt his life from the ground up — through farming, community, and a philosophy he lives by to this day: kindness will win.

This is one of the most human conversations on the show.

We get into:

How Samm learned organic Japanese farming techniques over 8 days via phone speaker — and passed the exam Why healthy soil is the foundation of everything, and what happens to humanity when it's gone How he left his wife, his business, his house, and his land in a single day and arrived in Bali with almost nothing How a dog bite, a medical bill, and a stranger's Instagram post turned Sam's Farm into something people couldn't stop talking about Why he let customers eat for free for almost a year during hard times — and what came back to him The farm-to-table vision behind Sam's Farm and why he wants to teach people to grow their own food Why sometimes a husband and wife need to separate for a while to find each other again What it means to give without expecting anything back

Start small. Be kind. Don't complain. The good time will come.

While his friends were partying and smoking weed, he was working out, reading, and building something. He started posting his transformation online, people responded, and a business was born.

Sofia's why is simple: she has no safety net. Everything is on her.

Then came burnout. Then cancer. And then a decision to walk away from everything in a single day.

We get into:

How burnout and cancer hit him at the same time — and what that forced him to face Why he quit his new job on the very first day The difference between objective and subjective results in fitness — and why most people only track one How he uses fitness and nutrition as tools to change people's mindsets, not just their bodies Why self-love and self-respect are the real foundation of any health journey Growth mindset vs fixed mindset — and the flat tire analogy that explains it perfectly Why part-time commitment gives part-time results How to stop chasing shiny objects and trust your strategy long enough to see results What Bali taught him about environment, community, and the people you surround yourself with

What started as optimizing brain performance turned into a deep obsession with health, longevity, and the science of the human body.

We recorded this one outdoors in Bali as the sun went down. It's a loose, honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a healthier life.

We get into:

Why Dominic started biohacking and what he was trying to solve Cold plunges, ice baths, and the mindset required to stay in longer than you think you can The truth about microplastics and what they may be doing to testosterone levels Why being vegan is harder than people think — and what you actually need to know to do it right Intermittent fasting, blood sugar spikes, and why skipping breakfast sharpens your focus The 60/40 rule applied to health — and why most people quit before they find their real limits Brian Johnson's longevity blueprint and whether living forever is actually something you'd want How to use AI as your personal health advisor

He tried losing weight several times, got fairly far, then stopped — without ever really knowing why. This time was different.

In this conversation, we talk about what finally made the change stick, why self-compassion matters more than discipline, and what Stoicism taught him about building a body and a mindset at the same time.

We get into:

Why motivation will fail you and what to use instead The 60/40 rule from David Goggins and how Oneeb applied it to running How perfectionism sabotaged every previous attempt at weight loss What his mother's death taught him about pushing through the hardest moments The Socrates quote that guides how he approaches learning and life Why starting small is not a compromise — it's the strategy

This one is honest, personal, and practical. Oneeb does not give you a blueprint. He gives you a mindset.
