In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome real estate titan and seasoned entrepreneur, Raj Aadmi, alongside his wife, Mannu Sandhu, a renowned Canadian Influencer and Producer of the South Asian Film Festival. We delve into the heartwarming journey of Mannu, who as an immigrant, arrived in Canada at the age of 14 with the resolute dream of supporting her mother and siblings through real estate. She shares and reflects on the challenges of acclimatizing to Canadian culture and how many migrant Canadians had to become accustom to Canadian traditions to avoid discrimination and “fit in”. Raj then opens up about his rollercoaster entrepreneurial journey. From reveling in the pinnacle of success to facing a steep downfall during the 2008 financial crisis. A poignant moment that shifted his trajectory was the decline of his card while buying a coffee. It was this humbling experience that presented him with two choices - rebuild or surrender. He chose to embark on a holistic healing journey, nurturing his spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. This rejuvenation empowered him with the confidence to take calculated risks again and rebuild his wealth and his current successes. Together, Raj and Mannu then give us a glimpse into their personal journey, recounting how their bond solidified during the challenges of COVID. They also share valuable insights on nurturing relationships and underscore the significance of mutual support in chasing dreams, living together before marriage and navigating disagreements.
We trust you'll find inspiration in their stories. Stay tuned for our upcoming episode next Tuesday featuring Sharan from @contouredstudios
