The real reason I started this journey

Today, I want to share something more personal…
My story.
Because behind every piece of content I create, every coaching session I lead, and every word I speak…There’s a reason I do this.
I grew up in Houston, Texas.
My dad passed away when I was just 5 years old from a heart attack.
My mother raised me and my two brothers by herself.
She worked multiple jobs, weekends, whatever it took.
She never made us feel like we were missing anything.
That’s where I learned hard work, resilience, and what it really means to serve others.
My father was an engineer.
So naturally, I followed in his footsteps.
I became an Engineer and went on to land my dream jobs at Tesla and Shell.
By the time I was 27, I had checked every box:
Dream job.
Dream car.
A home.
A beautiful family.
But still, something was missing.
I couldn’t figure it out at first.
Then I remembered the time I led a youth group—mentoring and coaching the younger generation.
That was when I felt truly alive.
Fulfilled.
That was the moment everything clicked.
The best of you are those who serve others.
That’s the lesson that drives me today.
So now, I help students, professionals, and athletes break free from mediocrity and burnout—and finally start living with intention.
Today, I’m still an engineer.
I’m also a coach.
A speaker.
A husband.
A dad.
And now, an athlete training for my next challenge(more to come!).
Everything I share comes from a place of faith, service, and intention because I believe that if your heart is aligned, your life will follow.
If my journey speaks to yours, I’m glad we’ve connected.And I hope you’ll stick around for what’s next.
All Praise is to the Most High,
Aamir Kidwai
