We’ve all heard the term “alpha,” but most people get it totally wrong. It’s not about ego or being the loudest in the room. Seif El Hakim, founder of the Alpha Movement and bestselling author of Alpha Unleashed, is here to challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership and success.

In this conversation, Seif breaks down what it really takes to win in life—why courage beats talent, how a growth mindset changes everything, and why success isn’t some finish line you cross but something you build every day. He shares the key shifts that separate high achievers from the rest and why most people never reach their full potential.

Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, or just trying to level up, this episode will push you to think bigger and take action. Tune in now and start unlocking your alpha potential.

Memorable Quotes

"An alpha in our era is a person who wants to stand out from all the distractions that we have…I'm focusing on my goal, I'm focusing on my relationships, being vulnerable, being… speak my weaknesses as my strength. So that's the modern alpha — not the one that's dominant, the egocentric, the selfish… not that at all." — Seif El Hakim

"My success is the progress, not the end result." — Seif El Hakim
