Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Guest Sadiq Hussain shares about finding his passion as a coach to share his knowledge and skill to help other people, especially shy, introverted people like he used to be: “What drove me is I one day sat right here behind me on my bed and this was about a year and ½ into my personal development journey as I shared earlier here, reading these books and becoming confident and really learning about life, business, mindset and I thought one day while I was sitting on my bed I was just thinking to myself said ‘Sadiq, the only thing stopping you from extra growth, from extra value putting out into the world, that extra leadership to be fielded by more people.’ The only thing stopping me at that time was the fear of judgment, was other people’s opinions of me. I used to care too much about other people’s opinions, care too much about their judgments. So as I sat there that day, I asked myself ‘Sadiq, why are you being so selfish? You’ve learned all this amazing personal growth, mindset stuff, changed your life and helped you evolve. Why are you being so selfish and keeping it to yourself?’”
