S3 E3 Tasha Ten Spotlight: Bilal Sununu - The Art of Battling Difficulties

The 'Inspire your Life' Podcast with Arthi Rabikrisson

In Episode 3 of Season 3, Arthi is joined by Bilal Sununu, a #TashaTen family member based in Saudi Arabia. Bilal is such a gentleman and a deep thinker, brimming with insights and ideas, and always open to sharing his wisdom and expertise.

Bilal was raised in Jordan, in the Arabian Gulf and learned to program computers from his father, in 1982, which ultimately influenced his decision to join the computer science and engineering schools at a leading university in the Middle East. Bilal explains how he has combined his passion for technology and his business mind in order to establish multiple start ups, some of which were great successes, and others were, well, great learning experiences as Bilal says. Bilal's diverse experiences as a result of these waves of successes and extreme downtimes, taught him self-awareness and resilience in this “school of life”.
Bilal offers great insight into how his ecosystem and mindset helped him fight the battle and overcome the difficulties he has faced in his life.

Some wise words from Bilal:

• “not everybody who gives you a comment, or a feedback is against you”
• “...you need to ensure that what people sees in you is not necessarily what happens within yourself…”
• “no person that can get out of a difficulty without the support direct or indirect of others.”

Listen to the full episode for so much more insights and ideas offered by my wonderful guest.
