RAYAN BADRAN, 30 UNDER 30

I was the kid who took electronics apart just to see what was inside.

I was not satisfied with the traditional approaches and sought innovative solutions.

I am endlessly curious about the world and how everything connects.

I am not afraid to challenge the status quo and embrace new ideas.

I shall be committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

I shall not be deterred by obstacles but will view them as opportunities.

I like it when I discover a new favourite song or artist.

I dislike it when meetings could have been an email.

My biggest ambition is to revolutionize data-driven marketing strategies.

My biggest worry is that I might miss out on opportunities by playing it safe.

I am most proud of creating something from scratch that others find valuable.

I am a bit ashamed that I was shy to engage in networking opportunities.

Looking back, probably I should have invested in bitcoin.

Looking back, probably I should not have doubted some of my ideas.

It all fell apart when I realized sticking to old methods wasn't yielding results.

Things made sense when I noticed that following my curiosity led me to my true passions.

Eventually things will show that hard work and dedication pay off.

Eventually things will not be as difficult as technology works to level the playing field.

Someone once advised me that persistence and adaptability are keys to success.

I once advised someone that embracing failure is part of the journey.

If I had a superpower, it would be to manipulate probabilities.

My superpower in real life is making up songs about everyday tasks on the spot.

The word I use most is "yalla".

The word I dislike most is "delayed".

This too shall pass is a mantra I embrace during challenging times.

My most treasured passion is music.

People should be more open to self-reflection, continuously improving themselves.

People should be less afraid of stepping out of their comfort zones.

I wish to thank my mentors and team members who have supported my journey.
