This was one of my favorite episodes to date : 

Today I was absolutely privileged enough to spend some time with the lovely Barke . She has one of the most captivating stories I have ever heard. At age 16 Barke originally from Zanzibar was arranged to be married to her now ex husband . They shortly after moved to London and started a life and even started a family. For over 15 years Barke was treated as a lesser human by her own husband and spoken to daily like she was a piece of trash . 

She opens up about her story on ascending beyond the negativity and becoming  an internationally acclaimed motivational speaking in the Muslim community. This woman's determination and dedication to make the world a better place are truly inspiring and I hope you enjoy this chat. Barke is also an author and her book " what is your name? " is available for pre order also :

Personality Tests Exposed: MBTI, DISC, and the Rise of Objective Profiling with RTP

Ever felt boxed in by a personality test? You’re not alone. MBTI and DISC are everywhere—from workplaces to online quizzes—offering labels that sound insightful, even comforting. But how accurate are they really?

In this episode, we go deep into the science (and the marketing) behind the world’s most popular profiling tools—and uncover the truth. With the help of internationally recognised profiling and communications specialist Alan Stevens, we explore a radically different approach: Rapid Trait Profiling (RTP).

Discover:

Why MBTI and DISC lack scientific reliability and predictive power

How social desirability, self-perception, and mood distort test results

The hidden influence of the Barnum Effect—and how it shapes false confidence

Why RTP avoids these pitfalls by relying on objective, observable traits

How facial features, micro expressions, and body language combine to give real-time, actionable insight

And why RTP works across cultures, under pressure, and in live interactions

Whether you’re in business, education, law enforcement, negotiation, or simply want to understand people better—this episode will change how you think about profiling forever.

🎯 From opinion to observation. From assumption to clarity.

Key Takeaways
1) Our facial features give away our unconscious feelings in a 5th of a second, down to 125th of a second.
2) Kids are less likely to bully other kids that they understand and connect with.
3) People who are different than you can be your greatest allies.
4) Cultural transformation begins at the top, however since leaders tend not to think that they are the problem, reframe it so they willingly want to assist you in the process. Alan explains how to do that in this interview.
5) Facial features + facial expressions + body language + NLP = Alan Stevens’ Rapid Pattern Profiling System.
