The Yes Theory Podcast

While we often seek discomfort, sometimes, it finds us. Our internal discomforts over the course of our careers have shaped who we are and how we deal with situations at hand. On today’s episode, we bring on our close friend, Eric Tabach. Eric, like many of us, has gone through his own internal discomforts over this past year and beyond that have overall landed him in a better place. So stick with us to hear more about the internal conflicts that we have faced this year and how we turn these discomforts into positive attributes in our collective lives. 

Growing older is definitely an odd feeling. One moment we’re young 21 year olds starting up a YouTube channel, and then we seemingly blink and six years have flown by. On today’s episode we bring on the one and only, Tommy Dajer. Tommy is Matt’s little brother and has grown up with us along our journey of saying yes. So join us on this episode as we discuss our experiences growing up in Yes Theory.

Mentors can be a huge driving force in how we carry out our life’s path. From teachers to coaches, parents and even friends, having someone to look to for guidance can help to set you on the right path with clarity and confidence. On today’s episode we bring on one of Ammar’s mentors, Maha Abouelenein. Maha is a fellow podcast host and one of the most fearless networkers we have ever met. So stick around to learn a bit more about how we choose our mentors, what they mean to us, and why they are so invaluable to our success.

Spirituality is a convoluted subject. With Ammar being raised as a Muslim and myself being raised mainly agnostic, we had two extremely different experiences growing up with religion. On today’s episode, we are also joined by Rotana Tarabzouni. Rotana was raised under Sharia law in Saudi Arabia and brings her own unique perspective to the table for this conversation. So join us today as we explore religion, faith and spirituality.

If you know Yes Theory, you know that we love to travel. On this episode we sit down with Lexie Alford.

So join us to hear more about how getting out of your comfort zone can lead you to some of the most amazing experiences that life has to offer.

In one of our recent Yes Theory videos, Ammar and I tried a week of the healthiest and unhealthiest diets.

Growing up with learning disabilities can massively alter the course of our lives. We can either let them bring us down, or we can use them as motivation. Recent studies have shown that 40% of billionaires are dyslexic. Is there a correlation between the two? Is there a way to change our outlook on our “weaknesses” to instead see them as our strengths? Today Ammar and Thomas talk to Cliff, the founder of Speechify, a company that aims to turn the written word to audio and in the process, helps those struggling with dyslexia. They discuss how Cliff overcame his own learning disabilities, how to turn your weakness into your greatest asset, and Ammar and Thomas's journey with dyslexia. Want more Yes Theory? Yes.
