EP 038 - Taking a gap year to try new things changed my life w/ Abdul Bishar Artwork

Comfort Via Discomfort

Real People. Real Stories. Real Vulnerability. The CVD podcast features stories of how people from around the world have gotten to where they are today. We strip down what we can see about them online to really understand what happens behind the scenes. We talk about the challenges, triumphs, traumas, and experiences that have shaped who they are today and contributed to what they've accomplished. We dive deep into understanding how they've embraced discomfort and vulnerability throughout their lives, how they've built the confidence to live authentically, and what advice they have for someone that either feels stuck in life or simply wants more. These episodes are meant to inspire you to build the life of your dreams one step at a time and to show you that you're not alone in your struggles. No matter where you are in life, even if you feel totally stuck, you can take a step forward and change anything you want by leaning into discomfort and vulnerability. The only way to be comfortable is to be uncomfortable first.

EP 038 - Taking a gap year to try new things changed my life w/ Abdul Bishar

June 19, 2023 • Adam Boismier • Episode 38

The Comfort Via Discomfort podcast is 1-year old! To celebrate this milestone and to honor all the guests and supporters of this show, we’re counting down the top 10 episodes from our first year.

Here is #3 with Abdul Bishar!

——

I met Abdul in Boston in 2018 while we were completing our master’s program at Hult International Business School.

It didn’t take long before Abdul’s name was being shared on campus because he was taking and posting some incredible photos! It also quickly became clear that Abdul was very self aware and looking to achieve some big goals.

After graduating, he spent over two years working for VaynerMedia (yes, the company run by Gary Vee) as a Media Analyst and Paid Media Manager and now works for Amazon Business as a Marketing Manager for Paid Media.

In this episode, we talk about:

Studying chemical engineering
Taking a gap year and the impact that had on him
The lessons and challenges of completing a 365-day content challenge
Betting on yourself and taking risks

Where you can find Abdul online:

Instagram | LinkedIn
Note: scroll all the way down his Instagram page to see Day 1 of his 365-day content challenge so you can see where he started and how far he’s come!
