Everybody is intelligent, learn to be small 👏🏻👏🏻 this man’s perspective makes us believe in our inner voice, truly a gem of person ❤
So much to learn from Zakir Khan's experiences and wisdom. His perspectives on family, relationships, conversations etc not just hold depth but are also very useful for daily life application. I also feel this is a podcast we can listen to again and again as a reminder to relate to and build on our personality. Thank you for this brilliant episode!
Zakir bhai i can't afford therapy so i listen to you🫂🤧
It’s not a PODCAST, it’s LIFE LESSON.❤
Zahir Khan deserves an honorary PhD ; he is so knowledgeable about real world. As a father I would not mind if my son get hooked on Zakir. Raj - you conducted and handled such immensely intelligent guy fairly well. You never disturbed Zakir's train..
1:13:00 genius words spoken by zakir khan “jeevan aapka akele hi hai, so jo saath deraha hai uska dhanyawad aur jo nahi uska bhi dhanyawad work on yourself, en be secure on your alone 👌👌👌👌 golden words
Zakir is no less than a therapist. Depth is unfathomable. This entire podcast is a nothing less than a counselling session. Great job. Raj Shamani is a great host, and his grey matter is unrestrained. He should be a guest in some podcast. Nikhil Kamath's podcast didn't do him justice. Raj and Zakir, I wish I could connect in person someday.
