Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Shahid Durrani for an eye-opening conversation about resilience, divine intuition, and the transformation that comes from hitting rock bottom. Shahid shares his raw and inspiring journey, beginning with childhood struggles like delayed speech, bullying, and feeling like an outsider. As he opens up, he reveals how his path led him through alcohol dependence, severe anxiety, and ultimately a near-death experience in his late twenties. But it was during the isolation of the pandemic that everything changed. A sudden panic attack became a divine wake-up call—one that sparked an inner shift from chaos to clarity.

Shahid recounts the moment of stillness that led him to discover Bob Proctor and the life-changing power of mindset work. That weekend became a turning point, marking the beginning of his journey into personal development and spiritual awareness. He also shares how a later diagnosis of being on the autism spectrum reframed his life; instead of seeing it as a setback, he recognized it as the source of his deep intuition and unwavering focus. From running a successful medical clinic and franchising business in Canada to stepping away from unfulfilling work during COVID, Shahid followed his inner calling to help others awaken their own power.

Today, he’s on a mission to guide entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone ready for change to reconnect with their true selves through mindset transformation. This episode is a moving reminder that even the darkest moments can be a divine setup for your life’s true purpose.
