#55 How I Built A Business While Paralyzed After A Massive Stroke | Khurram Bukhari

The David Guttman Podcast

About
I sat down with Khurran Bukhari to discuss his incredible journey from a childhood of poverty and addiction to surviving a life-altering stroke at age 35. We explore how he broke the cycle of his upbringing to build a thriving business with his wife and how he used the "Batman rises" moment in his recovery to transform from a victim into a resilient leader.
