A broad discussion with Br Maarten Van Elst on the role of factors outside of our control on attaining Worldly Success; meritocracy and social mobility; Practical tips to effectively use Social Media; effects of the internet age on personal identity; whether self-discipline is overrated and the “Tony Robbins Islam” & more. Brother Maarten (bio below) is the first guest to appear on the podcast for a second time.
Br Maarten discovered Islam through his search for self-improvement, he was inspired by Islam’s teachings, that amongst others, promotes spiritual, social, physical and mental health. After converting to Islam in 2011, he didn’t see much of what was being preached actually being practised within the Muslim community. So combining his own hands-on knowledge from competitive bodybuilding (pre-islam), years of personal training and coaching experience and medical background (Maarten is a nurse anaesthetist), he felt the need to launch Muslim Fit.www.muslimfit.com Excerpt from www.Muslimfit.com
