Summary
How can you get connected with the most influential people in the world? Get in through the Third Door. In this inspiring episode, I set with The Third Door author Alex Banayan to discuss how pushed past his boundaries and secured interviews with Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry King, Tim Ferris and many others.
We discuss:
-How he hacked The Price is Right to fund his trip to interview these people
-Choosing your own path vs your parents
-An exact email prompt Tim Ferris gave him for cold-emailing people
-How to beat fear and go after what you want
This interview is all about taking ACTION so if you're looking for a little inspiration to go after your dreams, listen to this now. Check out Alex's Book The Third Door, available in bookstores nationwide. Connect with Alex at AlexBanayan.com.

| 0:00.0 | Namaste! It's Sahara Rose and welcome back to the highest self-podcast. A place |
| 0:16.4 | where we discuss what makes you your soul's highest development. I had at the most |
| 0:21.9 | amazing time talking to the third door author Alex Binane. He sent me his book I |
| 0:29.2 | had no idea what to expect and I read the whole thing on one plane ride. That's how much I |
| 0:35.4 | loved it and that's how excited I am to share it with you guys. So Alex basically was a freshman |
| 0:43.4 | at USC whose Persian parents wanted him to become a doctor and he was kind of torn because he |
| 0:50.4 | didn't want to set off for this path that wasn't for him but at the same time he want to make his |
| 0:56.4 | parents happy of course and he ended up and I'll let him tell it during this interview finding a |
| 1:03.7 | new way and this book and this interview is about his journey of basically going through the third |
| 1:11.2 | door of getting to know you know the most powerful people from Bill Gates to Larry King and Lady |
| 1:18.8 | Goggon, Jessica Alba and all of these people who he basically haggled his way. I mean he stopped them |

| 1:44.4 | is the law of attraction and maybe he didn't even have to go do all of this if he just manifested it |
| 1:49.5 | which is an interesting conversation so I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode |
| 1:53.9 | and first a note from our sponsor you Veda. You Veda is an organically grown family-owned modern |
| 2:01.6 | Ayurvedic supplement company that targets specific issues like mood digestion, immunity, joints. |
| 2:09.3 | My absolute favorite that I've been taking every day for the past few months is their mood formula |
| 2:13.7 | which is specifically for promoting a healthy brain and promoting neurotransmitter support so it |
| 2:19.3 | improves your mood helps you at restful sleep, eases anxiety, even helps the founder himself |
| 2:25.0 | deal with depression after losing his son. I interviewed the founder on the High South podcast. |
