We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mehdi Dalili a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Mehdi, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

8 years ago, I got the extraordinary ability visa ( EB1) to move to the USA and build the American dream :) that was the biggest risk I did so far. I, my wife and my 6 month old boy moved here to have a better life and better opportunity in our field. Well, to be honest it was very scary to leave a successful business and everything you have and move to a new place and start from zero, but it all paid off after 8 years now I can say we did the best decision of our life !

Mehdi, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Try to be you ! Despite most of the people’s opinion on social media thinking everything has to look flawless, after lots of surveys we figured out people are scared when they see lots of good looking and super model are working out in our place !!! And this is not the look of our gym at all !we have all level of fitness in our gym and we respect them all in the same level, so just try to be real and informative !

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Covid time ! On early2020 our business just started to grow up and right on that time we had to shut the door, we had no idea how to survive ! It took us a month to figure out how to operate ! Very challenging at first !!! We had no idea how the zoom works or how we can manage live classes, it was challenging but after a week, when we got lots of good feedbacks we tried our best to focus and go forward. We didn’t have time to give up so we did that for couple months and again we opened the doors around June but with lots of changes ! Lots of sanitizing stations, face cover…..
After all those challenging month, we finally made it !!!!  So I believe challenges make you Stronger ! Keep fighting !
