In this powerful and soul-stirring episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Bakanay Abdusalamova—known as Baka—to explore the heart-wrenching and deeply faith-driven journey behind her debut book, Unanimous Decision.

Baka’s story is not hers alone—it is also the story of her husband, Magomed, whose devastating injury in a workplace accident set off a chain of emotional, spiritual, and legal battles that would test the foundation of their faith, love, and identity.

Unanimous Decision isn’t just a book—it’s a love letter to resilience. A tribute to the power of prayer, family, and staying grounded in faith when the world seems to unravel. In this episode, Baka shares how her life was transformed overnight, and how she made the conscious decision to carry both heartbreak and healing with grace. Through all of it—she chose to write, to reflect, and to share this testimony not just for herself, but for every woman standing quietly in the storm.

Joining the conversation is Arthur Blyakher, a close friend, family confidante, and the attorney who walked alongside Baka and Magomed through the legal complexities that followed the accident. Arthur offers important insight into the behind-the-scenes process and the layers of care, strategy, and emotion involved in navigating this traumatic chapter. He also served as a translator during the most painful and vulnerable moments, witnessing firsthand the strength of their bond and their faith.

This episode is about love in its rawest form. It’s about the unseen strength behind a public smile. It’s about a couple who faced unthinkable circumstances—and chose, together, to rise.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:
1️⃣ The traumatic event that inspired Unanimous Decision
2️⃣ Baka and Magomed’s journey through grief, resilience, and recovery
3️⃣ What it means to honor your faith when tested at the deepest level
4️⃣ The impact of marriage, loyalty, and identity through crisis
5️⃣ Arthur Blyakher’s role as legal counsel, translator, and trusted friend

In this inspiring episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Roman Vladimirsky—better known as Roman the Realtor—a Bronx-born, Westchester-based entrepreneur who transformed personal loss, cultural pride, and relentless hustle into a purpose-driven real estate brand.

Ashley Rodón is a woman of quiet strength, unwavering faith, and intentional service. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Ashley both personally and professionally, and this conversation reflects the deep mutual respect we’ve built along the way.

Ashley is a devoted mother, a woman of purpose, and the co-founder of The Carlos Rodón Foundation, which she and her husband—Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón—launched to support families navigating fertility challenges with grace and dignity. But what you’ll hear in this episode goes far beyond titles and roles. Ashley opens up about her spiritual foundation, her approach to motherhood, her early love story with Carlos, and why she believes giving is the truest expression of purpose.

💬 This conversation covers:

• How Ashley’s faith shapes her approach to motherhood, marriage, and mission

• The emotional and spiritual roots behind the Rodón Foundation

• Vulnerable, never-before-shared stories about the early years of her relationship

In this episode, Adam sits down with Marcel Robert, a chef and entrepreneur whose story is shaped by cultural diversity, curiosity, and the courage to follow his passion. Growing up in Port Chester with a Dutch-Surinamese father and a multi-ethnic mother, Marcel was immersed in different perspectives from an early age. His father’s example as an immigrant who built a business from the ground up instilled in him the value of hard work and accountability.

Marcel shares how his academic path shifted from engineering to political science to anthropology, before he found his true calling in the kitchen. Cooking, he explains, wasn’t just a skill — it was the one place that gave him energy, focus, and joy. That passion ultimately led to the creation of Belle Hill Dining, his private dining company, launched in the wake of COVID. Marcel reflects on the challenges of starting a business, learning patience when traction was slow, and building consistency in both craft and mindset.

This conversation explores themes of cultural identity, resilience, and the importance of trusting your instincts when charting a new path. Marcel’s journey reminds us that purpose often emerges when we combine our roots, passions, and persistence.

In this inspiring and deeply human episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, host Adam Vohra sits down with Mar Jennings, the Emmy-nominated TV personality, bestselling author, real estate entrepreneur, and America’s Top Lifestyle Expert. With a resume that includes figure skating champion, banking executive, TV host, and luxury brand founder, Mar’s career path is anything but linear—and it’s all rooted in purpose.

Raised in a home shaped by adversity, Mar found strength early on as a caregiver, a competitor, and a creative spirit.

This episode is a masterclass in personal branding, emotional resilience, reinvention, and leading with heart. Whether you’re starting over or scaling up, Mar’s story is proof that your past may shape you, but it doesn’t define you.

• Personal branding is about consistency, clarity, and connection—your brand starts with YOU.

• Adversity is often the foundation of purpose—Mar turned pain into performance.

• Discipline isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, creative, and spiritual.

• You can't lead others until you know how to take care of yourself.

• Real estate, media, and lifestyle design are all platforms for deeper service.

• Legacy isn’t about status—it’s about what you leave behind in others.

“You have to be the foam in the coffee—not the coffee.” – Mar Jennings
“You don’t need 10,000 people to love you. You need to love yourself first.” – Mar Jennings
“If you want to build a brand, you have to live it.” – Mar Jennings

In this powerful episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam Vohra sits down with Tanya Memme, a celebrated TV host, lifestyle expert, and Miss World Canada turned transformational coach. You may recognize her from A&E’s Sell This House, the Hallmark Channel, or DirectTV campaigns—but behind the on-camera career is a journey marked by deep reinvention, resilience, and a bold return to self.

Tanya opens up about her rise through pageantry, the reality of working in Hollywood, and how her identity became tangled in achievement and appearance. But it’s what happened when the cameras stopped rolling—and when a wildfire nearly took her life—that sparked a new chapter. In this conversation, she shares the full story of losing her home in the 2024 California wildfires, the grief that followed, and how she turned that trauma into fuel for something greater.

Today, Tanya is on a mission to help others become their most authentic selves through her program, Mastering the Spotlight. She speaks candidly about breaking free from ego, navigating social media without shame, and rebuilding from the inside out. This is an episode for anyone craving permission to start over, speak their truth, and lead with love.

• True authenticity often requires unlearning everything you thought you had to be.

• Grief isn’t just about death—it’s also about life transitions and lost versions of yourself.

• Confidence on camera is more about connection than perfection.

• Ego can be a trap disguised as ambition—humility creates real impact.

• Tragedy can be the spark for transformation if you're willing to sit in the discomfort.

• When you lead with heart instead of performance, you change lives—including your own.

“You don’t need to be someone else to shine. You just need to be more of yourself.” – Tanya Memme
“I stepped away from ego and started stepping forward with heart.” – Tanya Memme
“If you want to pivot, you have to be willing to let go of who you were.” – Tanya Memme
“That light inside you—that’s where your purpose lives.” – Tanya Memme

In this deeply powerful episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Ronek Patel, a first-time author whose book, I Am Not Your Boy, is making waves for its raw and unfiltered take on identity, self-acceptance, and overcoming societal expectations.

Ronek’s story is one of resilience, navigating the challenges of growing up in a traditional Indian household, grappling with his HIV diagnosis at just 19, and redefining his own self-worth in a world that often demands conformity. He shares how his family dynamic—marked by his parents’ arranged marriage, his father’s struggles with validation, and the absence of healthy relationship role models—shaped his views on love, self-worth, and belonging.

For three years, Ronek kept his diagnosis a secret, fearing the stigma and rejection.
