Overcoming Graduation

Ep 172 Amin Lakhani - The Dating Coach on Wheels talks Comedy, Relationships, Imposter Syndrome, and Overcoming Life's Challenges (PART 1)

At a young age Amin was diagnosed with a condition called Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, a degenerative genetic condition that affects nerves in the body causing difficulty moving and decreased sensation.

He takes us through his journey of battling feeling "different" as an adolescent and what it was like growing up with CMT.

In Pakistan, where Amin's family is from, disability is seen as taboo or a bad omen, but Amin's parents never let that influence him. They pushed him to go after his dreams and pursue them with tenacity.

Through multiple surgeries and challenges associated with his condition, Amin continued to challenge himself to redefine what was possible for him to achieve.

This eventually led to Amin interning at Google, graduating from an Ivy league school, and then earning a job at Microsoft after graduation.

After all this success, he then wanted to improve his dating relationships and hired a dating coach to help him grow in that area of his life.

Later, he dove into comedy to help him battle his own depression, to bring laughter to some of life's challenges, and to use humor to help others around him.

Now, Amin is a dating coach, comedian, speaker, and writer working to help people use their challenges to help others and create their own unique magic in the world.

In this two-part interview with Amin, he and I discuss:

• What it was like growing up with a degenerative genetic condition and some of the biggest lessons it taught him
• How to use rock-bottom moments to create momentum and shift the course of your life
• How to connect with people that have disabilities
• What he did to go from struggling to get a date to having too many options to choose from in his dating life
• The trap in the "Destination Fallacy" and how to avoid it
• How Amin used comedy to combat his depression
• How he has been able to face his challenges to live life without regrets

And so much more!
