Grow With Kepo | The Corporate to Freedom Podcast

He dropped out at 18 and manifested everything he wanted | Grow With Kepo Ep. 29

What happens when a 14-year-old, isolated and lost, turns to YouTube for mentorship, and ends up meeting his hero on stage in front of 6,000 people? That's just one chapter of Khaled Nawaf's story. Khaled is a life strategist from Saudi Arabia who dropped out of college after three weeks, built himself from the ground up, and is now producing a feature film, all through the power of belief, manifestation, and refusing to settle. In this episode, Khaled shares the mindset shifts and real-life stories that took him from lost teenager to purpose-driven creator. We talk about finding role models when your environment doesn't have any, why "creating yourself" beats "finding yourself," and how he manifested a trip to Tony Robbins' Date With Destiny and then got called on stage by Tony himself. In this episode: * Why YouTube became Khaled's best friend at 14 and how you can use it the same way * The gut feeling that made him walk out of college after 3 weeks and never look back * "Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself", what that actually means in practice * How Khaled manifested a fully-funded trip and an investor for his film without knowing how either would happen * The one Instagram reel that changed his life: "How big would you dream if you knew you couldn't fail?" * Why fear keeps the middle class stuck and what separates dreamers from settlers * How to define success on YOUR terms (and why it might not look like anyone else's) If you've been waiting for a sign to finally bet on yourself, this is it.

How To Turn Expertise Into $100K Income | Grow With Kepo Ep. 28

What if the thing you keep calling “too much” is actually the exact fire you need to build the life and business you want? In this episode of Grow With Kepo, Kepo sits down with Linda Ivelisse, Power Identity and High-Ticket Sales Coach, for a bold, honest conversation about identity, entrepreneurship, high-ticket sales, corporate burnout, confidence, and what it really takes to stop hiding from your own power. Linda shares how growing up in an entrepreneurial Puerto Rican household shaped her understanding of sales, money, value, and self-trust, and how she rebuilt her fire after an abusive marriage tried to dim it.  Together, Kepo and Linda talk about why some people are simply not built for the traditional 9 to 5 path, how expert service providers can turn real experience into premium offers, and why charging more starts with owning the results you help people create. This conversation is raw, funny, direct, and deeply empowering. If you are a high achiever who feels stuck, misaligned, or ready to finally take bold action, this episode will challenge you to stop shrinking and start moving like the person you already know you are.  #HighTicketSales #PowerIdentity #CorporateBurnout #ExpertServiceProvider #AlignedAction  🎧 New episodes of Grow With Kepo drop every Monday at 9AM GMT-7.  Don’t miss a moment of clarity, confidence and aligned action. 📱 Follow Kepo on Instagram for more insights and behind the scenes:   https://www.instagram.com/growwithkepo/ ❤️ If this episode spoke to you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.
