Summary

In life, there are a lot of things that are beyond our control. And that’s especially true when we’re young. If you grew up without having any support from your parents, what can you do? Today’s guest, Khalil Rafati, is a true inspiration and living proof that no matter how challenging life can seem, there’s always a way to transform yourself.

Despite growing up homeless and struggling with drug addiction, Khalil found a way to overcome his challenges and create a life beyond his wildest dreams. Khalil has gone on to become an author, speaker, and founder of Malibu Beach Yoga and SunLife Organics, a rapidly growing chain of health food cafes.

In today’s episode, he shares powerful insights on navigating financial, emotional, and physical challenges. You’ll discover how to leverage your addictions (because we all have them) to propel you toward success and learn how to reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth, so you can bounce back stronger than ever.
