Welcome to the very first episode of the NEW Mindvalley Show! I am Vishen Lakhiani, the founder and CEO of Mindvalley. Expect to level up with each episode as I interview some of the most influential and groundbreaking individuals shaping the world for the better.

Today we welcome Nuseir Yassin. Nuseir is a popular social media personality whose channel, NasDaily, focuses on elevating people, countries, and technologies. He explains that even though he and I are friends, we cannot legally visit each other’s countries due to the ban on Israelis in Malaysia and Malaysians in Israel. This conversation highlights the importance of elevating people as well as technologies, and the need to promote understanding and tolerance between nations.

We also have a lively debate, and share how much time an entrepreneur should work in a week! The minimalist argues for time constraints, while the maximalist defends his non-stop work ethic. Join us for this spirited exchange of ideas as we dissect our own habits and build a deeper understanding of how much work goes into building an empire!

Memorable Quotes:

“I think people forget how sensitive it is to even say the “I” word, on the internet. YOu can’t even say you’re from Isreal because to them Israel doesn’t exist, and you’re like, but this is where I’m from and you’re not gonna delete where I’m from, and so it’s been a constant battle between Israel versus Palestine as opposed to Israel and Palestine, so really I want to dedicate the rest of my life, like you, to the “and” as opposed to the “or”.” [10:32] -Nuseir Yassin

“Our brain will help us notice things that we need to notice, so if you are constantly telling yourself, I live an amazing life, I have the most inspiring conversations, you are more likely to notice the inspirations and the conversations that you have. You are more likely to notice people that might inspire you!” [34:05] -Vishen Lakhiani
