General Dentists & Orthodontics: Where Is The Line? | Orthodontics In Interview | Tif Qureshi"Without orthodontics, dentists are working in a compromised environment."."Minor objective orthodontics can be valuable, but the key is knowing what you should and should not treat."."A two-day course is only an introduction. The real learning comes through mentoring, case assessment, and guided experience."."Remote treatment planning is very different from mentoring.” .The  general dentists performing orthodontics remains a  debated topic in modern dentistry. Should general dentists provide orthodontic treatment? What level of orthodontics is appropriate? How can general dentists achieve safe and predictable outcomes for their patients?.Joining me is Tif Qureshi, international speaker and educator  a general dentist and founder  of the Intelligent Alignment Systems Academy (IAS) , and advocate of general dentists performing orthodontics and minimally invasive dentistry  We have an in-depth discussion on orthodontic education of general dentists, why general dentists can have greater litigation rates than specialists, the quality of orthodontic planning and  treatment, and the issue with education for general dentists in orthodontics..We explore minimally invasive restorative dentistry and Tif explains the merits of orthodontics from the restorative lens. .We also discuss  the limitations of short orthodontic courses, as well as  anterior guidance, envelope of function, and tooth movement over time, and how dentists can offer something specialists can't, longer term monitoring and patient education..

Your patient brushes well, avoids sweets — and still keeps getting decay. What if the answer isn't in their mouth at all? What if two inexpensive finger-prick tests told you more about a patient's gum disease and implant prognosis than anything on the radiograph? And here's the uncomfortable one: if the science is this clear, is not checking starting to look like a medico-legal risk? Especially for imlpant surgery! This is a conversation with Dr Tif Qureshi — the dentist who changed how the profession thinks about the lifelong patient, the envelope of function, and Align, Bleach, Bond. He's gone down a new rabbit hole: metabolic health. In general practice he's now doing blood tests — HbA1c and vitamin D — and making the case that the mouth isn't connected to the body, it is the body. This isn't about becoming a “biological dentist” (as you'll hear, Tif is refreshingly blunt about the wilder end of that world). It's about respecting the biology, screening sensibly, and helping patients where we're genuinely placed to help. https://youtu.be/mt1MXLFCTp0 Watch PDP275 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Test Yourself First Before you even think about introducing blood tests for your patients, ask whether you're checking your own biomarkers at a sensible interval. The deepest way to understand this topic is to learn it on yourself and your family first — run your own HbA1c, vitamin D, iron, and liver and kidney markers, and see what the data tells you. Start quarterly, like hygienist visits, then stretch to six-monthly or annual once things look good. Getting invested in your own numbers is what makes better food and lifestyle choices actually stick — and it's the honest starting point for ever offering this to a patient. What You'll Take From This Episode The metabolic lens — why one disordered glucose-and-insulin system sits under so much chronic and dental disease, and why dentistry is well placed to act on it. Sugar, redefined — why patients who avoid sweets still get decay, and how frequency of starchy carbs drives the problem. The two biomarkers that matter most — what HbA1c and vitamin D each tell you about caries, perio and healing. How to run it in practice — finger-prick logistics, what to test, and how to raise it on the medical history form. The medico-legal case — why documenting these markers can protect you before implant, graft and perio work.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Attia Qureshi, a coach and negotiation expert who is co-author, with John Richardson, of Never Settle. There's no shortage of great negotiation advice out there, yet in real conversations with real stakes and real emotions, that advice often fails to turn into action. This book tackles that gap between insight and habit. Attia shares why emotions are not a distraction from negotiation but central to it, why getting clear about what you actually want is harder than it sounds, and how we leave value on the table without realizing it. You'll hear practical stories, from resetting a difficult relationship with a glass of lemonade to expanding the pie in a salary negotiation, plus small daily exercises for building resilience to rejection and learning to say no in a way that strengthens relationships rather than damaging them. If you're looking for practical, doable ways to become a more confident negotiator and influencer, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "You can get more by caring about what the other person needs and building a strong relational foundation." "People are not born amazing negotiators. They develop that skill over time, just like people are not born confident." "You have to practice that small step out in the real world where the stakes are low and build that skill day after day, month after month." "You and I have probably already negotiated half a dozen times today." "When someone gives us something, we want to return the favor." "New studies now show that 90 to 95% of decision-making comes from unconscious emotional processing." "So many of us quit before we even start." "But if we do have a goal and we do prepare for the conversation, our likelihood of success is double." "A good negotiation doesn't always mean getting 'yes' at the end of it." "I always tell my students, people can almost always help you. It depends on if they want to or not." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:06 Start of Interview 02:17 Growing Up: Early Lessons in Conflict 07:10 Negotiation and Confidence Are Skills, Not Personality 08:04 Life Is Full of Everyday Negotiations 10:30 Why Negotiation Training Often Fails 12:30 Resetting a Difficult Relationship 17:20 Influence vs. Manipulation 22:33 Emotions, Fear, and Building Resilience 28:00 Using the Emotion Wheel 29:36 Getting Clear on What You Really Want 33:39 Expanding the Pie: Creating Value 40:50 The Power of Saying No 47:27 Teaching Kids to Negotiate 51:23 End of Interview 51:55 Andy Comments After the Interview 55:22 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Attia and her work at AttiaQureshi.com.

Anyone alive today is among a tiny fraction of the once living: over 90% of species that ever existed are now extinct. How did we come to think of ourselves as survivors in a world where species can vanish forever, or as capable of pushing our planet to the verge of a sixth mass extinction? Extinction, Professor Sadiah Qureshi shows us, is a surprisingly modern concept—and a phenomenon that's not as natural as we might think. In Europe until the late eighteenth century, species were considered perfect and unchanging creations of God. Then in the age of revolutions, scientists gathered enough fossil evidence to determine that mammoth bones, for example, were not just large elephants but a lost species that once roamed the Earth alongside ancient humans. Extinction went from being regarded as theologically dangerous to pervasive, and even inevitable. Yet Vanished: An Unnatural History of Extinction (Penguin, 2025) shows us that extinction is more than a scientific idea; it's a political choice that has led to devasting consequences. Europeans and Americans quickly used the notion that extinction was a natural process to justify persecution and genocide, predicting that nations from Newfoundland's Beothuk to Aboriginal Australians were doomed to die out from imperial expansion. Exploring the tangled and unnatural histories of extinction and empire, Vanished weaves together pioneering original research and breath-taking storytelling to show us extinction is both an evolutionary process and a human act: one which illuminates our past, and may alter our future. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Many women are prescribed oral estrogen without ever being told what happens after it enters the body. In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy takes a deeper look at estrone, the estrogen metabolite created when estradiol is taken orally, and explains why the delivery method of hormone therapy matters. You'll learn: The difference between estradiol and estrone Why oral estrogen creates significantly higher estrone levels How estrone may contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance The connection between estrogen metabolism and weight gain during perimenopause and menopause Why monitoring labs is essential when using hormone therapy The importance of understanding risks, benefits, and treatment options before starting hormones Dr. McCarthy also discusses the role of inflammation, body fat, metabolic health, and hormone delivery systems in creating long-term outcomes for women navigating menopause.

6.12.26 Hour 3, Grant Cohn from Sports Illustrated joins The Kevin Sheehan Show to break down what led to the Brandon Aiyuk and 49ers fall out, the timeline of events and how this situation could play out in the coming weeks leading up to training camp. Samu Qureshi joins The Kevin Sheehan Show to discuss his upcoming documentary about owning the largest collection of Washington Redskins memorabilia in the world and how it came to be.

Imagine you're living 15,000 years ago. Your people are hunter-gatherers and you sleep under the stars. If someone told you humans would one day build cities with millions of people, fly through the air, or carry all human knowledge in their pockets, you couldn't even begin to picture what they meant... Yet here we are.How did our lives change so far beyond recognition? The story is complex, but there's a rough pattern. A few times in history, some radical breakthrough in technology — like the development of the plough and the steam engine — has led to a wave of productivity, innovation, and social change that ultimately reshaped the world.Now we're on the cusp of a huge new breakthrough: artificial intelligence that can meet or exceed human capabilities across a wide range of tasks.This could bring another era of transformation. There could be an explosion of intelligence and innovation, and a whole new population of digital beings. And with this, civilisation could see changes at least as profound as those brought about by industrialisation or the rise of agriculture — but instead of taking hundreds or thousands of years to unfold, this time around the world could become unrecognisable over the span of decades or less.This transformation could bring enormous benefits, helping us solve currently intractable global problems. But it could also pose severe risks, some of which could be existential — meaning they could cause human extinction, or an equally permanent and severe disempowerment of humanity. There aren't nearly enough people trying to address these challenges, and we think that's a serious problem.This article is narrated by the author, Zershaaneh Qureshi. It explores how advanced AI could be so transformative, and why working on its risks may be your best opportunity to have a positive impact on the world.

What if the very thing that helped you succeed is now holding you back? In this episode of the WholeCEO Podcast, Lisa G. sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and startup builder Safeer Qureshi to challenge one of the most common assumptions in business: that being smart is the key to success. Safeer explains why intelligence can sometimes become a founder's biggest obstacle, leading to overthinking, analysis paralysis, and missed opportunities. Drawing from his experience launching his first business at just 14 years old and investing in high-potential founders, he shares practical lessons on entrepreneurship, execution, hiring exceptional talent, and recognizing opportunities others overlook. You'll discover: • Why being "smart" can slow down startup success • The entrepreneurial lessons Safeer learned at age 14 • How investors identify underdogs with massive potential • Real examples of "stupid" ideas that became big successes • How to test business ideas quickly without wasting months building the wrong thing • Why the best founders surround themselves with people smarter than themselves • Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs who feel unqualified to start Whether you're a founder, CEO, investor, or someone sitting on an idea you've been afraid to pursue, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it really takes to build something meaningful. Listen now and learn why action often beats intelligence, and why your greatest advantage may not be what you think. #WholeCEO #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Leadership #Innovation #BusinessGrowth #FounderMindset #VentureCapital #StartupAdvice #BusinessPodcast

Negotiation isn't a boardroom skill—it's a parenting skill, and every hard conversation with our teens is a training ground. In this episode, I talk with negotiation expert Atiya Qureshi about asking for what we need, managing our own emotional storms, and finding the relational middle ground between passive and aggressive. We dig into understanding interests over positions, the internal negotiation we have with ourselves first, and why being listened to opens our kids up to hearing us. Come learn alongside me. Guest Bio: Attia Qureshi is the founder of Attia Qureshi Consulting and an adjunct at the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy. A former instructor at MIT Sloan and the Ross School of Business, she has worked on behalf of the US State Department in conflict zones around the world.

Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) have been around in concept for the past fifty years, but their recent explosion has caught the attention of healthcare systems and, frankly, patients. Why? Today's guest, Adnan Qureshi, is a Managing Director with the Mergers and Acquisitions practice at Kaufman Hall. He provides strategic advisory services for healthcare providers and investors around the merger or acquisition of ASCs. The benefit he's seen in partnership with his clients perhaps explains the answer to this question. The “DNA”, as Adnan puts it, of the ASC is rooted in independent physicians who, as an extension of their practice, saw the benefit of doing lower acuity surgeries in an outpatient setting. As pain management and technology improved over time, the use case also evolved to the point where there are now few specialty areas where uncomplicated surgeries cannot be performed in an ASC. Without the overhead and operating costs of a hospital, ASCs allow for far more transparent pricing, lower costs, greater efficiency, and often better outcomes, all driving towards higher patient satisfaction. And that's a win we should all be paying attention to. Adnan Qureshi has over fifteen years of healthcare transaction experience. Prior to joining Kaufman Hall, he was a Director of Development at SCA Health, a subsidiary of Optum/UnitedHealth Group. In that role, Mr. Qureshi led market entry strategy across several geographies, and sourced, structured, and executed ambulatory surgery center acquisitions.

Most people think negotiation is about winning. It's not. AJ and Johnny sit down with Attia and John to unpack why the best negotiators focus less on control and more on curiosity, relationships, and emotional regulation. From fear of rejection and reciprocity to fairness, empathy, and practicing rejection on purpose, this episode breaks down the real skills behind influence and lasting agreements. They also explore why most people fail negotiations before they even begin — because they haven't practiced discomfort, clarified what they actually want, or learned how to regulate emotions under pressure.

"Emotions drive 90 to 95% of our unconscious decision-making." Attia Qureshi is back — and this time, we go deeper. After her first interview, Attia's insights on persuasion and negotiation were so helpful that Anthony put them to the test in a real-life negotiation and said, "they changed the game." So, we invited her back to go deeper into the ideas behind her book, Never Settle: Persuasion and Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want, and explore how each Enneagram type approaches one of the most important conversations we can have: asking for what we need.But, as Attia explains, negotiation isn't just something that happens across a boardroom table. It happens every day – with our spouses, our kids, our coworkers, our neighbors, and perhaps most importantly, within ourselves. Before we ever make an ask, we have to face the internal stories, emotions, fears, and assumptions that often keep us from speaking up in the first place. In this episode, we explore how different Enneagram types navigate negotiation, conflict, emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and the art of creating value without damaging relationships. We unpack why some types avoid the ask, why others over-assert, why some need more clarity around what they actually want, and how every type can grow in confidence, courage, and self-awareness. You'll learn: How emotions shape the way we ask – or don't ask – for what we need How to identify and label your emotions so they stop driving your decisions unconsciously The worst-case scenario exercise that builds resilience and inoculates you against fear What each Enneagram type brings to the negotiation table — where they shine, where they get stuck, and what to do about it A breathing technique that signals your nervous system it's safe before a high-stakes conversation You can learn more about Attia and grab her free resource for Typology listeners, which includes a breakdown of each Enneagram type's negotiation strengths, blind spots, and exercises at https://attiaqureshi.com/typology.  Never Settle: Persuasion and Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want by Attia Qureshi and John Richardson is available now wherever books are sold.  

Let's get one thing straight: women are not bad at negotiating. They're doing it just as often—if not more—but getting worse outcomes. So no, the wage gap isn't because women just need to “ask better.” That's lazy advice… and frankly, bullshit. In this episode, negotiation expert Attia Qureshi—founder of Atiya Qureshi Consulting, co-author of Never Settle, and trained in FBI-informed negotiation strategies—breaks down the uncomfortable truth: women are playing a game that wasn't designed for them to win the same way men do. Same words, same ask… wildly different outcomes. And she's not here with fluff—she's here with strategies that actually work.  Because here's the deal: opting out of negotiation doesn't protect you—it guarantees you get less. What We Cover: Why women are negotiating just as much—but still losing The double bind: too nice = weak, too assertive = “difficult” The internal negotiation happening in your own head Why relationships matter more than you think (yes, it's annoying, but it's real) How to use data as your secret weapon without triggering defensiveness The “we strategy” that helps women get better outcomes (even if it feels unfair) Why over-preparing can actually screw you over How to handle rejection and turn a “no” into a “not yet” At the end of the day, negotiation isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about learning how to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn't always reward you for it—and doing it anyway. Because you don't get what you deserve. You get what you're willing to ask for—and hold your ground on. Thank you to our sponsors! Visit Upwork.com right now and post your job for free!

Attia Qureshi examines negotiation not simply as a business skill, but as a core leadership capability that shapes influence, alignment, and decision-making. Drawing on experience across consulting, startups, academia, and international development, she explains why many capable professionals struggle in negotiations despite strong analytical skills. The discussion explores several practical themes: why preparation is often undervalued, how fear and emotional reactions affect judgment under pressure, and why negotiation should be treated as a skill built through repetition rather than theory alone. Qureshi also distinguishes influence from manipulation, emphasizing that durable cooperation is built through trust, reciprocity, and understanding shared interests. The episode covers organizational alignment, stakeholder management, rejection, and emotional resilience, including lessons from work in Colombia helping farming communities transition away from coca production. Throughout the conversation, Qureshi argues that effective negotiators are not necessarily the most aggressive or persuasive, but the ones who can stay disciplined, build trust, and navigate difficult conversations with clarity and composure. This episode offers practical insights for leaders seeking to improve negotiation, relationship management, and organizational effectiveness in both professional and personal settings.

Forty Colombian farmers sat looking at her, completely unimpressed, when the cartel boss in the back of the room opened a case and a drone flew up out of it. In this episode, I sit down with Attia Qureshi, the negotiation teacher who learned her craft running State Department conflict-resolution work in cartel-controlled coca regions of Colombia, and who now teaches at the University of Michigan after a stint at MIT Sloan. Her new book Never Settle, with a foreword by Sheila Heen and endorsements from Daniel Pink, Robert Cialdini, and Chris Voss, hits shelves next week. The thing I love about her work is that she does not treat negotiation as a boardroom sport. She treats it as a daily relationship skill, the kind you practice with your barista so it is already in your hands when something hard comes up at home. In This Episode The four-step sequence Attia used to reset a room of 40 unimpressed farmers and a cartel boss with a drone, and how the same four steps work in your kitchen tonight Why "take out the trash" is the position and not the actual ask, and the one-sentence reframe that changes how you fight about household chores The fifth-grade bullying story that produced the hard shell most of us are still wearing into adulthood The seven-word test that tells you whether you are influencing someone or manipulating them Why the freeze you feel when you try to speak up is physiology, not personality, and what to do about it in real time How to know when you are giving too much to a taker, and the experiment Attia recommends before you decide to cut losses The literal glass of lemonade that turned a hostile next-door neighbor into a friendly one, and the Cialdini-backed science underneath it Why This Matters This episode is for anyone who knows what they want and goes quiet when it is time to ask. For anyone stuck in a loop with a difficult coworker or in-law that has been the same loop for three years. For anyone who has tried the assertive thing once and the people-pleasing thing once and is exhausted by both, and who wants a path that does not require a personality transplant.

If you've ever found yourself doing everything at home—managing schedules, picking up the slack, remembering all the little details—and then wondering why you feel so exhausted and resentful… you're not alone. So many working moms carry the emotional load without even realizing it. Not because they want to—but because it feels easier in the moment to just handle it yourself. But over time, all those “small things” add up. In this episode, I'm talking with negotiation expert Attia Qureshi about how the skills we often associate with boardrooms and big deals actually show up in our everyday lives—especially at home. And more importantly, how learning to use those skills can help you move from doing everything yourself… to creating a true partnership. This isn't about becoming more demanding or confrontational. It's about understanding what you need, communicating it clearly, and building a home dynamic that feels supportive—for everyone involved. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why working moms often struggle to ask for help at home—even when they're confident communicators at work How unspoken expectations create resentment (and what to do instead) The difference between being a “giver,” “taker,” and “matcher” in your relationships A simple way to start shifting from doing everything yourself to shared responsibility Why naming your emotions is the first step to better communication boundaries How small moments of negotiation happen every single day—and how to use them to your advantage The key mindset shift that turns conflict into collaboration Why This Matters When you're constantly stepping in and taking care of everything, it might feel like you're helping your family. But what's really happening is that you're setting a pattern—one where you carry the weight, and everyone else assumes you've got it handled. And that's where mom burnout begins. Learning how to communicate your needs, ask for support, and create more balanced dynamics isn't just about getting help. It's about feeling seen, respected, and supported in your own home.

Hundreds of prominent AI scientists and other notable figures signed a statement in 2023 saying that mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority. At 80,000 Hours, we've considered risks from AI to be the world's most pressing problem since 2016. But what led us to this conclusion? Could AI really cause human extinction? We're not certain, but we think the risk is worth taking very seriously. In particular, as companies create increasingly powerful AI systems, there's a concerning chance that:These AI systems may develop dangerous long-term goals we don't want.To pursue these goals, they may seek power and undermine the safeguards meant to contain them.They may even aim to disempower humanity and potentially cause our extinction.This article is written by Cody Fenwick and Zershaaneh Qureshi, and narrated by Zershaaneh Qureshi. It discusses why future AI systems could disempower humanity, what current AI research reveals about behaviours like power-seeking and deception, and how you can help mitigate the dangers.You can see the original article — packed with graphs, images, footnotes, and further resources — on the 80,000 Hours website: https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/risks-from-power-seeking-ai/ Chapters:Risks from power-seeking AI systems (00:01:00)Introduction (00:01:17)Summary (00:03:09)Why are the risks from power-seeking AI a pressing world problem?

Last week, we kicked off our Courageous Conversations series with a fresh look at building emotional confidence. This week, we lay the groundwork for how personality, emotional regulation, and awareness all play into navigating conversations that matter.  I sat down with Attia Qureshi—an expert in negotiation and persuasion—but what unfolds isn't just about getting what you want. It's about why we want what we want…and what's really driving us underneath it all. Attia shares a moment of deep rejection from her childhood that led her to build what she calls an "exoskeleton" of strength. And as we talked, it became clear how many of us are still walking around with some version of that same armor—negotiating, relating, and even loving from a place of protection rather than connection. We explored how that plays out in everyday life—how we handle conflict, how we ask for what we need, how we respond when we feel threatened or unseen. And what I appreciated most about Attia is that she doesn't just talk about tactics—she talks about transformation. About moving from control to curiosity. From winning to understanding. From guarding yourself…to actually showing up. This is such an interesting topic that we invited Attia back for a second episode, where we go even deeper into her book Never Settle and unpack how her core negotiation strategies apply to each Enneagram type. Think of it as taking everything we talk about today and making it incredibly practical and personal for how you move through the world. And to help you get started, Attia has put together a fantastic Negotiation by Enneagram Type cheat sheet you can grab at attiaqureshi.com/typology. Pull up a chair. This one's going to get under the hood—in the best possible way.  

This week we're exploring the cuisine of Saudi Arabia in Madeeha Qureshi's debut cookbook, The Red Sea.Madeeha who spent her first 18 years in Saudi, came to our attention on Masterchef when she reached the finals in 2021, impressing judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with her fusion of Saudi Arabian, Middle Eastern, South Asian and modern flavours. Now, many of us will think of Saudi as a place which is repressive for women and the LGBTQ community, but this is not Madeeha's story. If Cooking the Books is a place to explore the secret kitchens from different culinary cultures, it's also about the lived experiences of the authors who tell that story – many of them women. Gilly asks Madeeha to show us around her Saudi Arabia through her food moments. Pop over to Substack for Extra Bites of Madeeha including a recipe from her book, and for Gilly's post about the complexity of telling stories about place and politics. Hosted on Acast.

The arrival of AGI could “compress a century of progress in a decade,” forcing humanity to make decisions with higher stakes than we've ever seen before — and with less time to get them right. But AI development also presents an opportunity: we could build and deploy AI tools that help us think more clearly, act more wisely, and coordinate more effectively. And if we roll these decision-making tools out quickly enough, humanity could be far better equipped to navigate the critical period ahead.This article is narrated by the author, Zershaaneh Qureshi. It explores why AI decision-making tools could be a big deal, who might be a good fit to help shape this new field, and what the downside risks of getting involved might be.

SummaryIn this episode of Soul Velocity, Dr. Anjum Nazir Qureshi shares her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to becoming an influential educator and trainer. She emphasizes the importance of purpose over position, the continuous nature of learning, and the need for self-analysis in personal growth. Dr. Anjum Nazir Qureshi discusses the significance of skills over mere academic marks, the responsibility that comes with knowledge, and the essence of true leadership rooted in empathy and inner peace. Her reflections on success, legacy, and the impact of education highlight the transformative power of being true to oneself and serving others.TakeawaysTrue impact is created not by positions but by purpose.Learning is a continuous process that adapts to challenges.Marks are just a ticket to enter the cinema hall of life.Self-analysis is crucial for personal growth and confidence.Success is a continuous journey, not a final destination.Leadership is about qualities, not just titles or positions.Being true to oneself is essential for authentic leadership.Education should focus on giving rather than accumulating knowledge.Inner stillness enhances leadership effectiveness and empathy.The greatest reward is when students acknowledge your impact on their lives.Chapters00:00:00 The Journey of Purpose and Impact04:01:00 Defying Stereotypes and Overcoming Challenges07:54:00 The Philosophy of Continuous Learning11:42:00 Diverse Learning Modalities and Their Impact14:33:00 Staying Grounded Amidst Knowledge16:03:00 The Responsibility of Knowledge18:25:00 Inner Stillness and Outer Leadership19:34:00 Measuring Meaningful Change20:51:00 Redefining Success22:48:00 Legacy Over Labels25:16:00 Being True to Yourself26:52:00 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsPrograms by Snehal - https://linktr.ee/snehalrsinghAll books by MSW - https://linktr.ee/mindspiritworksLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/snehalrsingh/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/snehalrsinghInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mindspiritworksFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mindspiritworksllcYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SnehalRSinghCompany site - https://www.mindspiritworks.com/

Emergency medicine physician, entrepreneur, and disaster‑medicine–trained leader Dr. Moiz Qureshi joins us to share how he built a career that blends clinical practice, administrative leadership, and startup innovation. After years in academic and executive roles, Dr. Qureshi transitioned into full‑time locum tenens to gain the flexibility he needed to pursue his entrepreneurial goals.In this episode, he reflects on growing up as a second‑generation emergency physician, the mentors and experiences that shaped his training, and the moment he realized that the traditional W‑2 model no longer aligned with the life he wanted to build.

Why the “mid-market” doesn't exist2. Why tier-one logos like Stripe and Tesla counterintuitively make the best early customers3. The dangers of pricing your product at $10K-$20K4. Why you need to vision-cast instead of problem-solve to win enterprise deals5. Why services are the fastest way to get your foot in the door with enterprises6.
