Reformed Criminal, Bariz Shah - Leadership Lessons From Mt. Eden Prison & Christchurch Terror Attack

In this episode, I sit down with Bariz Shah, author of Beyond
Hope and a remarkable leader who turned his life around. From his
challenging youth to becoming a pillar of his community, Bariz’s
story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose.





What We Cover:





Bariz’s early life as an immigrant in New Zealand and the
struggles he faced with racism and identity.

How his involvement in crime and time in prison became a
turning point for change.

The pivotal moments that led Bariz to embrace his faith and
redefine his life.

His journey through the University of Canterbury, earning an
engineering degree, and becoming a leader in his Islamic
community.

Lessons on leadership, gratitude, and faith that inspire a
life of purpose.






Bariz shares profound insights into overcoming adversity, the
power of community, and the importance of standing for truth and
personal growth.





This conversation really moved me. Please share it with someone
you know who might benefit from it.
