46: Empathy Always Wins with Ally Salama
Episode description
In one of our last episodes of season 5 of the Circle Up Podcast we interview the Middle Easts Mental Health Ambassador, Ally Salama.
I’ve been lucky to get to know and befriend Ally over the last year as he’s both the founder of empower-mag.com, the first Mental Health Magazine in the Middle East, winning Harvard's Top 7 Most Impactful Social Initiatives in 2019 & earning recognition from the World Health Organization. As well as the host for Apple’s #1 Charting Youth Leadership Mental Health Podcast “Empathy Always Wins”.
On this episode we explore the life-changing moments that made Ally the man he is today:
- What it was like being stabbed at the age of 15
- How he’s coped and worked through a mental illness diagnosis
- And now, his vision for mental health for Men and for mental health in the Middle East
Ally, if there’s one thing you’ve taught me it’s that enthusiasm is contagious. You have an energy and passion in the way you show up in the world that’s truly magnetizing. I know without a shadow of a doubt that you have what it takes to make a real difference in the world. I can’t wait to watch you continue to soar and dent the universe with your heart and vision.
Please enjoy this episode and remember,
Don’t man up, Circle Up!
