He was among over 400 asylum seekers saved by the Norwegian container ship, MV Tampa, in the Indian Ocean, while seeking refuge in Australia. Despite being denied asylum and detained offshore for weeks by Australian special forces, Abbas and his family found resettlement in New Zealand.Abbas was incredibly vulnerable and open about the experiences he has had and the struggles he’s faced as a refugee.

In this episode I discuss my perspective on email management and the concept of inbox zero. I believe that being a slave to the inbox is not worth the anxiety and stress it can cause. What is important is good communication and connecting with others face to face. High performance is about consistently exceeding norms while maintaining healthy relationships and well-being. Having an empty inbox does not define high performance. Chapters00:00 The Pitfalls of Being a Slave to the Inbox04:17 Entertaining Comments on Inbox Zero07:41 Taking Control of Your LifeOn my channel, I aim to bring you world-class guests and create epic videos to help you level up your leadership and personal mastery.If you could take the time to subscribe, that would help my channel grow and it would mean you wouldn’t miss an episode.
