In this awesome episode, I chat with Fady Kassab, a Sydney-based comedian and creative director with roots in Lebanon. Fady was winner of Australia's RAW Comedy in 2019, shares his journey from the creative industry to the comedy scene, offering a unique perspective on life, identity, and personal growth. Fady also has two kids who lived with him full-time until recently, making him a great example of diving into his true self and exploring his unique true career path while raising kids.

• Career Change From Creative Director to Comedian: Fady’s transition from a successful career in creative direction to pursuing comedy full-time, exploring how his experiences shaped his comedic style and outlook on life.

• Navigating Personal Identity: A section on how life events like the loss of a parent and a divorce led Fady to reevaluate his identity, moving beyond the labels society places on us and embracing the present moment.

• Ego vs. Intuition: Fady discusses the battle between ego and intuition, emphasizing the importance of quieting the mind to listen to one's inner voice. He highlights how intuition is often drowned out by the noisy voice of the ego, which is rooted in past achievements or future anxieties.

• The Power of Now: Drawing inspiration from spiritual teachings, particularly Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now," Fady talks about the importance of living in the present moment and how it can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

• Letting Go of the Ego: Insights into how detaching from the ego’s need for validation through success or material achievements can lead to true inner peace. Fady shares personal anecdotes and advice on how to practice this detachment.

• Health and Well-being: A discussion on the importance of treating the body with love, rather than through a lens of societal expectations or self-criticism. Fady touches on how his approach to food, exercise, and mental health has evolved over the years.

• Spiritual Growth and Mindfulness: Fady introduces listeners to spiritual teacher Muji and the concept of living without being trapped by thoughts or emotions. He explains how mindfulness and meditation have played a crucial role in his personal development.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, spirituality, and the journey of embracing one's true self. Fady’s wisdom, humor, and authenticity shine through as he shares lessons from his life, making this conversation both inspiring and deeply relatable.
