About this episode

In this episode, we sit down with Ali Farag, 4× World Champion, the longest-reigning World No.1 in modern squash, and widely regarded as one of the greatest squash players of all time. From engineering at Harvard to the top of the global rankings, Ali built a performance approach based on clarity, repetition, and mental preparation. We talk about the mental models behind his consistency. How identity shapes execution. How decisions are prepared before pressure arrives. How to keep clarity when the pace rises. The same approach applies to business and leadership, where consistency matters as much as intensity. We then delve into the philosophy that shaped him, and the role of Mike Way in building the thinking, language, and structure that defined Ali’s career. What made Ali, Ali.
