[EP7] Why Every Level Up Brings The Devil Up | Dr. Nima Rahmany

In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Nima Rahmany. Nima is a very special person who came into my life in February 2018 when everything was seemingly crashing around me. He helped my wife (Sharmila) and I through a tough time when I had gone all in on my business (financially) and little did we know, our 2nd son (Bodhi) was about to be born a month later (4 months early).

Dr. Nima helps people who are stuck in toxic relationships, career limbo, and emotional trauma overcome their anxiety and create powerfully aligned relationships by deepening their intimate relationship with the most important person of all: themselves.
