What do a Ferrari and flowers have in common? They both changed Dr Faizel Mansoor's life in ways he never expected.
In this conversation, Faizel - Vice Chair of the South African Dental Association, the person who brought Myobrace to South Africa, and founder of the TMJ Centre and Fresher Breath - shares the unfiltered truth about his 20-year journey in dentistry.
From wanting to drive a Ferrari like his classmate's dentist father, to building multiple businesses, navigating burnout, facing rejection, and ultimately discovering genuine purpose and meaning, Faizel's story is one of perseverance, proactivity, and never giving up.
We explore the moments that shaped his career, the setbacks that nearly broke him, the importance of finding the right life partner, involving his children in the business journey, and what it really takes to build something meaningful.
This is a masterclass in perseverance, honesty, and finding purpose beyond the superficial.
