First Things THRST
‘First Things THRST’ is a weekly masterclass that explores the secrets and experiences of entrepreneurs and content creators from across the globe. Each episode is unfiltered and guided by the premise of leaving no stone unturned, which is accountable for the deep discussions into the backgrounds, hardships and confessions of my guests. My goal is simple, to share insights and fresh perspectives on topics like entrepreneurship, success and fitness. Join me on this exciting adventure, and I'm hoping you gain as much from these discussions as I do.

E044 - The Single Life Secret: Self-Confidence is the Key to True Love | Tracy Harmoush
Tracy Harmoush is a former investment banker turned growth mindset speaker & entrepreneur whose focus lies in fitness. In spite of “social pressure to consider”, Tracy made the bold decision to shift direction from the 9-5 corporate world to build her fitness brand. Her app, Untraceable, shares a holistic approach to health and wellness, integrating Tracy’s expertise and passion for fitness into customised workout plans and nutritional guidance. Tracy is emerging as a key speaker in leadership and self-development, thanks to her Podcast “What They Don’t Tell Us” where she interviews thought leaders to provide her listeners with the tools to shape their mindset. In this episode, Tracy and I discuss life as an entrepreneur, covering work life balance, relationships, confidence and more.
