Description Joining us today is Toufic Kreidieh, a visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of BFL Group, a billion-dollar retail empire revolutionizing access to luxury brands. Born during Lebanon’s civil war and shaped by a childhood of resilience and ambition, Toufic’s journey from a 12-year-old delivery boy to leading one of the region’s most successful retail ventures is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, Toufic takes us through the pivotal moments that defined his path, from launching his first store with just $10,000 in a Beirut garage to expanding globally with a $1.2 billion valuation. He reflects on the challenges of building consumer trust, navigating cultural diversity, and embracing digital transformation in a rapidly changing market. Toufic also shares his philosophy on leadership, the importance of empowering employees, and how the UAE’s supportive business environment played a critical role in his success. This conversation offers a rare glimpse into the mindset of a true disruptor and provides invaluable lessons on resilience, innovation, and creating a legacy that inspires future generations.

When faced with change we didn't choose, we're often told to "just move on" or "let it go." While logic says that's the right thing to do, sometimes we find ourselves paralyzed because the fear of the unkown seams scarrier than staying where we are when we know where we are isn't serving us. In today’s episode of WTDTU, I’m joined by Najwa Zebian who reveals the truth about transformation isn't about forcing ourselves forward, but understanding why we resist in the first place. Najwa is an educator, speaker and author of acclaimed books such as “The Nectar of Pain” & “The Only Constant”, using her platform to empower people to embrace their fear of change and lead authentic lives. Through her work with trauma and healing, she shows that our bodies hold wisdom our minds often ignore. I hope after this episode, you’ll not only understand why change feels so difficult, but also have practical tools to navigate your own resistance with compassion rather than judgment. Timestamps 00:00 Starting the journey of change 01:00 Why we hold onto what's familiar in life 03:29 How people face change differently 06:06 Fear's grip on our choices 08:29 Getting unstuck from life's deepest ruts 10:26 Making sense of confusion 12:11 Taking ownership of life decisions 15:09 Choosing yourself first 19:28 The fear of accepting love 22:04 When wealth becomes your identity 24:25 The pain of hurting those closest to us 27:18 Breaking cycles in relationships 30:57 Learning to trust yourself 33:17 Where faith guides decisions 36:01 Standing firm in your convictions 39:32 Living and finding yourself authentically 43:56 Building unshakeable confidence 47:21 What success really means 52:03 Breaking free from toxic situations 55:36 Healing after betrayal 59:02 Trauma's role in personal change 1:06:17 The importance of listening to your body 1:12:02 Healing past pains 1:18:15 The journey to knowing yourself deeply 1:25:10 Taking that first brave step 1:30:12 Embracing life's biggest challenges 1:35:37 Finding the courage to change 1:37:18 Setting boundaries that matter → KEY LESSONS (BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS) #1: Why Change Feels Like Your Body's Fighting You Change resistance often happens because your body feels safer with familiar pain than facing the unknown, even when your mind knows better - acknowledge this disconnect rather than judging yourself for not moving forward. #2: Decision Paralysis and Getting Unstuck The worst place to be is in constant uncertainty - either commit to staying or commit to leaving, but make a decision and own it instead of remaining in painful limbo between what you have and what you want. #3: Recognizing Value Mismatches When people don't appreciate what you offer, it's often not because you're inadequate but because they can't receive it - your love, effort and care may simply be at the wrong place rather than being wrong themselves. #4: Trusting Your Instincts Despite Gaslighting When something feels off in a relationship but someone denies it, state your position once and let the truth reveal itself over time rather than constantly seeking proof - the truth eventually surfaces without your vigilance. #5: Taking Action Without Complete Clarity You discover who you are through making changes, not before - you don't need to see the entire path ahead, just enough to take the next step, recognizing that both staying and changing are difficult in different ways. They're both hard, you just need to pick which hard you want.

Any person and any young man that I meet is...you have power. And the question is, how can you use it?" Over two years ago when we set out to start The Pivot Podcast, We wanted it to be a platform for everyone and a place where ANYONE could come have a conversation and feel comfortable. We have been grateful to have hundreds of inspiring and impactful discussions over the years sitting with athletes, champions, A-list entertainers, musicians, comedians, business leaders and now the 44th President of The United States. In a groundbreaking episode of The Pivot, in partnership with Fanatics, we're honored to welcome former President Barack Obama who shares his insight, experiences, and leadership which has inspired millions around the world. We reflect back on his journey to the White House and everything in between while listening to his words on life, politics, family, and the ever-evolving landscape of sports and society. The authenticity of our conversation is powerful, as President Obama opens up with candor, humor, and wisdom, reminding us why he's not only a transformative leader but also a man who’s navigated his life’s Pivots with heart and humility. Ryan, Fred, and Channing open the episode chopping it up about sports with the Chicago fan. President Obama reflects on the evolution of Black quarterbacks in the NFL, noting how the game continues to adapt to the times and how instrumental it is that race doesn’t define these athletes as it once did. Obama shares how the NFL is often a mirror to society, embodying our advancements and the persistent need to challenge stereotypes. Just as the game of football has changed, he emphasizes how America has, too—but there’s still work to be done, and he challenges us all to keep pushing forward. We also get a rare glimpse into his personal life behind the scenes, especially the role his family has played in keeping him grounded and providing perspective. Talking about his partnership with Michelle, he acknowledges how her unwavering support allowed him to tackle the relentless demands of the presidency while still being the father and husband he dreamt. From family dinners at the White House to raising his daughters with humility, President Obama shares heartfelt insight into the blending act between family and public service and how he aimed to give his kids as “normal” a childhood as possible, even under the global spotlight. And with one of the most anticipated and crucial times in our country's history, Election Day is a week away on Tuesday, November 5, and the former president shares reflections on the importance of using our voice and our power, reminding us that our role as citizens is critical—whether it’s in voting or in staying informed about who’s truly looking out for our interests. Ryan asks why should people relate to his words and influence while Fred asks about the urgency of this election as a black man. President Obama’s response resonates in his message on every level as citizens, humans, family members, men and women of all races and religions setting the score of what's at stake for all of us, encouraging us to use our personal influence wisely, challenge assumptions, stay informed, and have empathy for all communities. Voting is our birthright, use it and understand we have power in our voice. For us at The Pivot, this was more than just an interview; more than just a conversation and more than just a guest...it's a moment in time that showcases why we love doing what we do and why certain voices carry so much weight. Let's just say, if we had a "Mt. Rushmore" wish list of Pivot guests, we now have reached one of those monuments. Please comment, like and share this conversation and let us know what you think.
