The Higher Standard

🎙️ In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take listeners on a rollercoaster ride through the land of leadership, stress, and... Whole Foods hot bars? 🍳 Yes, it’s that kind of episode.

Starting with some playful banter about overpriced turmeric shots and parental leave policies (because Haroon is off becoming a “baby-making legend”), the hosts quickly shift gears to tackle the high-stakes world of corporate leadership. Chris gets real about his week of legal battles, emotional highs, and the unrelenting stress of balancing family life, work pressures, and the occasional existential crisis. All while trying to figure out if he’s genetically predisposed to being weak. (Thanks, 23andMe!)

➡️ The duo dives deep into the art of authenticity, unpacking why being your true self at work and on social media is a game-changer in today’s hyperconnected world. From Chris defending the misunderstood GLP-1 weight loss meds to Saied advocating for tough morning workouts that reset your day, the conversation is as educational as it is entertaining.

🔔 P.S. Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to be grateful for the little things—like when your grocery bill doesn’t require a loan.
