“ I went to the future and I came back” . He will share with you his take from the below program attended 10 months ago . His aim is to stimulate thinking about leapfrogging a much as we can in everything that we do ..

“ The Executive Program (EP) is a week-long immersive course in Silicon Valley that examines how key converging technologies will shape our future and explores ethical leadership in a world of rapid change. This intensive program is intended for senior leaders in business, government, and nonprofit sectors with the desire to have a positive impact at scale, and who want to create their organization’s future—and the world’s future—not simply react to it.
World-class experts deliver interactive presentations in an immersive classroom setting, paired with insightful discussions and activities that leverage the diverse cohort of thought leaders and innovators we convene for each session. Participants also experience technology first-hand and get a taste of Silicon Valley’s “maker” culture through SU’s iLab and off-campus visits. By convening a class of future-oriented senior influencers from over 30 countries and a broad range of industries, the program fosters insightful dialogues with uncommon partners and builds a supportive community of like-minded peers. 
At the EP, you’ll learn what it means to “think exponentially” and develop the insights and framework you’ll need to design for an abundant future."

BREAK FREE by Saahil Mehta

12 October 2021 04:30 PM (GMT+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh

Venue: TBC
Location: Bahrain

Saahil is an Entrepreneur, Author and a Passionate Mountaineer.
Over the last 4 years Saahil scaled 4 of the tallest mountains in the world- a dream that he harboured since 2010. As a Global Citizen Saahil has built successful businesses across 3 continents; but even thereafter he struggled to experience peace, happiness & abundance. But only once he was able to conquer his self-limiting mindsets & habits he was able to re-invent the complete spectrum of life- from mental focus to physical excellence and from beautiful relationships to efficient environments with a singular focus on ‘de-cluttering’ what no longer serves his life’s true calling & purpose-to scale the actuals summits of world as well as the metaphorical summits of personal mastery.
Saahil believes that once you master the art of strategically decluttering the non-essentials form these 4 key dimensions of life, you truly empower yourself to BREAK-FREE from these illusions of limits and rise to manifest the best version of yourself. With this philosophy he was able to scale the summits of Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Choicalqui and Kala Patthar, on Mount Everest in his very first attempts!
Today, Saahil continues running his business ventures on one hand and has also embarked upon this new life as an author(of the newly launched book BREAK-FREE) and a coach; he’s deeply focused on guiding thoughtful leaders to navigate their health, wealth and relationships as they scale their summit with the help of his proven set of tools + rituals to experience the ultimate peace and freedom to redefines their personal success. When asked, Why do this at all? He quips, “I feel ethereal joy when I help someone ignite the compassion, creativity and connection that births clarity for perceiving and pursuing their WHAT NEXT”.
Paradoxically on one hand Saahil leads his life with absolute ‘ahimsa’ the art of non-violence and evangelizes this virtue for all human beings; but when it comes to personal mastery & performance he loves to destroy his limits and consistently conquer himself. With his debut book BREAK-FREE he shares his personal journey of how he transcended all odds to scale the summits of his dreams, and how you too, can dream up new personal summits every day, once you have mastered the art of decluttering life by adopting his fool-proof process of breaking-free.

Igor Opeshansky (a.k.a. Vitruvian Physique) "Fitness Expert"

28 October 2021 05:00 PM (GMT+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh

Venue: TBC
Location: Bahrain

Igor Opeshansky (a.k.a. Vitruvian Physique) (born May 30, 1991) is a bodybuilder sponsored by Alphalete Athletics^[1] (First male in the back from the left side, covering the letter "H"). Alongside his bodybuilding career he also actively runs his YouTube channel VitruvianPhysique^[2] which was initially created back in 2014 (with it being more active since the Summer of 2015). He is a semi-regular bodybuilding & power-lifting competitor.

Igor has a BSc with a double major in Human Physiology and Economics from the University of Western Ontario^[3] in Canada. He has worked 2 years in the financial district in downtown Toronto after graduating back in 2014. His "non-fitness" interests include American politics, science documentaries, and Japanese animated series (a.k.a. anime). He had been pretty into sports during adolescence (high school basketball, rugby, track) and played competitive volleyball outside of school with a team which went to the Jr. Olympics. He immigrated to Canada at the age of 4 and lived in and around Toronto his entire life.

Personal Life

Igor started training in the gym at an age of 14 years old, but even before that he had been doing light workouts at home using bodyweight exercises at an even younger age. Alongside the calisthenics, he used to do P90X in his basement with a single set of adjustable dumbbells with an addition of pull-ups using an I-beam in the ceiling.

His training was a mix of CrossFit and "bro-style" bodybuilding^[4] throughout high school with an emphasis on chest, arms, whey protein, and chicken breast.

His training and nutrition vastly improved as he attending University at the age of 19. This improvement partially came from his ability to better control his own nutrition and training regiment. First squat/deadlift he ever performed was when he was 19. This resulted in the most noticeable and/or drastic improvement to his physique. Most likely because he had finally at this age begun to research and actually understand proper nutritional/training protocols. Igor has previously stated: "I really believe that had I trained/eaten properly, the first 4-5 years worth of physical development could have been achieved in ~6 months."
