Podcast Overview

Fate, Kismet, Qadr - a complex concept that few can grasp let alone describe, yet this unexplainable invisible force drives us daily to accomplish the unexpected and realise human feats that others can only dream of. For decades I have been fascinated by the way Fate / Kismet / Qadr works. How it plays a pivotal role in our personal lives from childhood into adulthood and how it plays a pivotal role in our professional lives. I have reflected endlessly on how much power do we really have over our destiny? My name is Akmal Saleem - over the last 15 years I have been a venture builder travelling the world trading and learning different business cultures, having moved to Saudi Arabia 10 years ago I advise some of the world’s wealthiest families, sports and business personalities though my advisory firm Qadr Financial. Qadr for me is a complicated relationship between power and destiny because I have felt an interaction and interchange between power and destiny throughout my experience: whenever I have felt utterly powerless I found that destiny took over, and when I felt I had assumed power of my life, that destiny slowed down. This concept has been well studied and documented within religious and philosophical spectrums and we will be exploring these as they clearly play a significant role. However my focus and mission is to discover with my guests and audience the physical and tangible journey of Qadr that they have been through. This podcast is for people interested in hearing how power and destiny has played a role in successful people’s lives, for people trying to discover their own personal vision and mission and for entrepreneurs interested in hearing how power and destiny interchanges within their journey of building ventures. I hope this podcast will overtime establish a correlation between power and destiny within a professional and business level. I hope to learn from guests their journey framed through the lens of power & destiny. On this podcast we dive deep in exploring power and destiny as an idea, and the impact it has had on our guest’s lives our guests being high profile sports personalities, business owners and leaders sharing incredible stories about how power and destiny has shaped their careers, opening opportunities for them which they never planned for and how they have dealt with and deal with the uncertainty that is powerlessness in the light of following a destined path and their perceived destiny.
