The Raz Patel Show
What happens when your worst moment becomes your greatest teacher?
Raz Patel knows. Paralyzed at 16. Stroke at 42.
Instead of being defined by these moments, she built a life and a framework that proves trauma isn't a liability. It's your competitive edge.
The Raz Patel Show is where leaders and builders (30-55) come to hear from people who survived something real and transformed it into something powerful.
In each conversation with high performance guests, you'll discover: What high performance actually looks like after you've been broken - Why the people who've survived the most build the best - The precise methodology to transform pain into your unfair advantage
This show is for: ✓ Leaders rebuilding after setback ✓ Builders who've overcome real adversity ✓ Anyone ready to stop pretending survival isn't part of success ✓ People building with intention, not just momentum

She found documents that changed everything. What was in them — she never saw coming.
Sarita Chauhan walks into a room today as VP of Human Resources at YRCI — composed, accomplished, unshakeable. Nobody in that office knows what it took to get there. In this episode she opens the door on everything — the financial abuse, the manipulation, the cultural pressure that kept her silent, the homelessness — and the moment she finally chose herself when she had absolutely nothing left to lose. This is not a story about being a victim. This is a masterclass in what it looks like to rebuild. ─────────────────────────────

The air is killing people across Southeast Asia.
And almost nobody is talking about it.
Dr. Yongyut Tiyapairat has served as Thailand's Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Secretary to the Prime Minister and President of the National Assembly. He has spent decades at the intersection of politics, policy and environmental crisis — and in this episode he is not holding back.
Smoke haze is no longer a local problem. It crosses borders, destroys lungs, collapses tourism economies and devastates agricultural communities — while governments keep announcing bans that nobody enforces.
In this episode Dr. Tiyapairat breaks down the real causes behind Southeast Asia's smoke haze crisis, why existing policies have failed, what countries like China, the US and Australia are doing differently and what genuine regional cooperation would actually look like. If you breathe air — this episode is for you.

A teenage boy. Trapped in a war zone. No way out.
Everyone said it was impossible.
What Tony Sabio did next — nobody saw coming.
Tony Sabio is a U.S. Navy veteran, former Secret
Service K-9 handler and CIA counterintelligence
expert. When war broke out in Ukraine — he made
a choice that would change everything.
In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to
talk about what it actually feels like to walk
into a war zone alone. What his PTSD really looks
like behind closed doors. The moment with one
teenager that completely broke a man trained
never to show weakness.
And why — after everything he's seen — he's
still choosing to serve.
Because some battles don't end when you come home.

Someone tried to silence a journalist with 50 years of truth telling behind him. It didn't work.
⬇️ This one is for everyone who has ever been pressured to stay quiet.
Aziz Haniffa spent 50 years as Washington correspondent for India Abroad — the publication that gave generations of Indian-Americans their first mirror in American media. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what happens when the world tries to stop you from telling the truth. The legacy of India Abroad and what it meant to a community that had no other voice. How fear and polarization are silencing today's journalists. And why courage and compassion are now the most radical things a storyteller can choose. This is not just a journalism story.
This is a story about finding your voice when the world wants to take it away. ─────────────────────────────

A government exiled him. They dissolved his party. Took everything. He's still talking.
They still can't stop him. Sam Rainsy co-founded the Cambodia National Rescue Party and became the voice of a nation's struggle for democracy. The government dissolved his party. Issued warrants for his arrest. Forced him into exile. He kept going anyway.
In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about the emotional cost of speaking truth to power, what exile really feels like for a leader who never stopped fighting, and why he believes conscience will always outlast control. Some voices echo louder from exile than from the podiums of power. This is one of them.

She survived combat. Earned a Bronze Star. Then she came home and the real battle began.
Patricia A. Watts served 22 years in the US Army. Battled PTSD. Then she took everything the military taught her about courage, discipline and service and aimed it at the world's most vulnerable people. She founded We Model USA and Seeds of Faith fighting human trafficking, empowering youth and creating economic pathways for women across Africa.
In this episode she sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what PTSD really looks like for a female veteran, how faith became her strategy for getting through it, and the real connection between military service and fighting human trafficking that nobody talks about. Combat was the training ground. This is the real mission. ─────────────────────────────

He earned 2 Michelin Stars before most chefs find their signature dish. Then came the moment that almost took it all away.
Chef Chumpol Jangprai fell in love with cooking at age six. He went on to co-found R.HAAN one of Bangkok's most acclaimed restaurants and earn 2 Michelin Stars that put Thai cuisine on the global map. But this episode is not about the stars.
It's about the moment he almost gave them back. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what mastery really costs, why patience and timing are not just culinary philosophy but a blueprint for life, and how Thai cuisine is quietly leading global conversations on sustainability and cultural preservation. Some people collect awards. Others use them as a reason to go deeper. Chef Chumpol went deeper. ─────────────────────────────

Three elephants named Nee, La and Nun. Four people who gave everything to protect them. This is the conservation story nobody is telling.
In Chiang Mai, Thailand, four extraordinary people have dedicated their lives to the quiet, daily work of protecting elephants with dignity and love — Wassana Thongsook, Borpit Chailert, Paruay Chailert and Kenneth Clyde McGregor. Together they built and sustain MaeTaeng Elephant Park & Clinic — a sanctuary where elephants are not performers but family. In this episode they sit down with Raz Patel to talk about what Nee, La and Nun taught them about leadership, trust and patience that no boardroom ever could — and what it actually costs to protect three elephants when nobody is watching. This episode is not about tourism. It's about what happens when four humans decide that three elephants deserve a life worth living. ─────────────────────────────

She stood on the biggest stage in the world. She won. What happened behind the crown — nobody has told you this.
Praveenar Singh is Miss Universe Thailand 2025. In this episode she's joined by her pageant sisters — 1st Runner-Up Praew Ruangthong and 2nd Runner-Up Naruemol "Dale" Phimphakdee — for the conversation the pageant world never lets queens have in public. The real cost of winning. The parts nobody talks about. The sisterhood that forms between women competing for the same crown. And what beauty with purpose actually means when you're the one who has to prove it. This is not a pageant interview. This is what happens when three queens finally get to say what they actually think. ─────────────────────────────

Everyone told him to show up on time. He showed up exactly when he was supposed to.
Matt Dillon — known as The MD Effect — is a fashion forecaster, cultural architect and media personality who has appeared on NBC, FOX and CW. But this episode is not about fashion. It's about what happens when someone decides that being on time means showing up as exactly who you are — and building everything from there. In this episode he sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what The MD Effect really stands for, how fashion forecasting became a platform for human-centered storytelling, and why being fashionably late is a philosophy — not a schedule.
Being fashionably late is not about timing. It's about purpose. ─────────────────────────────
