Sat Feb 07 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Ghani Souleymane, an extraordinary endurance athlete who recently completed 100 consecutive days of T100 Triathlon and became a world record holder. But this conversation goes far beyond athletics.
Ghani left home at just 7 years old, slept in abandoned buildings, and worked in Nigerian markets. What many would call a struggle, he calls it a blessing. His journey from Togo to Lagos, and Lagos to Dubai is a testament to what happens when you have a strong "why".
We explore how he stays grounded through fame, why comparison kills purpose, and his beautiful analogy of "seeds and weeds" - seed being your true purpose, and weed being your ego and external noise.
This episode will instil a deeper sense of belief in your own capabilities leaving your inspired to take action towards your goals.
