Episode WHO before What: UNCORKED with OMAR HUSSEIN
What if the life you trained for is keeping you from the life you were meant to live? How do you know when it's time to stop following the path everyone expected and start pursuing the one that gives you purpose?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Tim Windsor sits down with Omar Hussein, a computer scientist turned social entrepreneur, whose journey across countries, cultures, and careers reveals a powerful truth: discovering who you are is often far more important than deciding what you do.
Tim and Omar explore the courage it takes to walk away from certainty, why reflection is a competitive advantage, and how trying something imperfect is often better than endlessly searching for the perfect next move. Omar shares his remarkable philosophy of combining purpose with sustainability through social enterprise, explains the Japanese concept of Ikigai as a framework for meaningful work, and challenges us to think beyond individual success toward creating lasting impact in the lives of others. Along the way, they wrestle with questions about identity, community, leadership, listening, and what it really means to live a life of significance.
If you've ever felt stuck, questioned your career, wondered whether there's something more, or wrestled with balancing success and purpose, this conversation is for you. You'll walk away challenged to reflect more deeply, pay closer attention to the people around you, embrace experimentation instead of perfection, and ask one of life's most important questions: Am I building a career, or am I building a life of impact?
