Gent’s Talk: Ep 24- A Sit-Down w/ Rakan Khalifa

Welcome to Episode 24 of our podcast, where we sat with entrepreneur Rakan Khalifa. Dubbed “The Millionaire Mentor,” Rakan took time out of his busy schedule to discuss trading and sales with us. We also got into family and some of the daily practices he instills to keep his mind sharp.

Dinner w/ Jay-Z or 500k?

We started the conversation with this viral question circulating on social media for a few months. The internet seems divided on the best option, and Rakan, at age 27, with a wealth of knowledge above his years, gave us his pick. From conversing with billionaires in Dubai to his early career in sales at Goodlife Fitness, Rakan has always seized opportunities and made the most out of his time. “Focus on controlling your own destiny,” Mr. Khalifa stated, “and make sure you’re investing in yourself.” He’s a huge believer in the mentor/mentee relationship and repeatedly suggests investing in courses/classes in your field.

Rakan’s Morning Routine

Rakan’s hyper-focused mind preaches “micro speed, macro patience” and takes extreme pride in his morning routine. He credits not being on his phone during the early hours of his day and “talking to myself on paper” as the tools for a productive day. Every morning Rakan journals three things:

What happened yesterday / what’s going to happen today?
Gratitude
Goals

Please note that a constant with the successful Gents we’ve had the pleasure to sit with has been revisiting and setting new goals. With plans to have several more conversations with willing Gents, we’re excited to learn as much as we can and simultaneously pass that knowledge on to you. Please tune into Episode 24 for the entire conversation with Rakan Khalifa!
