We discuss the journey of immigrating from Saudi Arabia and escaping conflict, to Mahfuz's journey through mental health struggles, and his recently published book 'Project Reinvention' the social timeline of a millennial. He is an award-winning Candybox Marketing manager and published author. Mahfuz Chowdhury has a career that he loves and has now added the title of author in addition to marketer. However, the puzzle pieces of his life did not always fit together so easily. Mahfuz has had quite the journey to get to where he is now. Mahfuz’s post-secondary experience first consisted of a Business Administration program at the University of Toronto. However, as many of us tend to feel, he too had little idea what he really wanted to do while at university. Business Administration seemed like the safe choice. It was at UofT that he had one of his toughest years, as he was not only suspended from the university with the added weight of $30,000 in debt but had also been processing the end of a relationship with his long-term ex-girlfriend. Not to mention, there was a constant bubble of stress engulfing him – people forever speaking of the need for experience to get a job in any industry. Panic ensued as he realized the only experience he had at the time consisted of serving coffee at Tim Horton’s. Little did Mahfuz realize that these hard and stressful times would eventually lead to better days.
Mahfuz Chowdhury is an award-winning Account Manager at Candybox Marketing, a digital marketing agency that has worked with notable brands such as Domino’s Pizza, The Weather Network, So You Think You Dance, Glee, Fox Entertainment, and Advertising Week. He’s also the author of Project Reinvention: The Social Timeline of a Millennial—a book where he open and honestly recollects his journey from self-described abject failure to someone now focused and steadfast on the path to success. And last but not least, he’s the host of the Ride With Me podcast. In this episode, we talked about lessons from retail, blue collar work ethic, and hitting rock bottom. It was a candid, refreshing, and at times hilarious conversation. We also talked about sleep as a competitive advantage, drawing energy from your outfits, and staying sane on social media. --- NOTE: Around the 1:02:00 mark, the quality of the audio drops quite a bit. Unfortunately we had ran into a technical issue on the boards, and as a result had to substitute the corrupted audio with whatever we picked up on camera. Our voices are still audible, but not as crisp as what you experienced in the first half. We're terribly sorry for this issue, and are going to bring Mahfuz back in the studio for a follow-up to this otherwise awesome episode. Thanks for your patience! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hamzakhan/support
