Dream with Dr Sheen
Hosted by Dr Sheen Gurrib · EN
Welcome to Dream with Dr Sheen.
I’m Dr Sheen, a Cambridge PhD, Oxford graduate, former management consultant turned entrepreneur, and an award-winning podcaster.
This is a show about ambition, not the polished version, but the real one. The kind that builds something extraordinary and quietly changes you in the process.
On this podcast, I sit down with founders, actors, athletes, creators, executives, and global leaders for conversations that go beyond success. We talk about the pressure, the pivots, the sacrifices, and what life actually looks like after you get everything you once thought you wanted.
Because success isn’t just about making it.
It’s about what it costs.
What it gives you.
And who you become because of it.
If you’re building something, chasing something, or starting to question everything, you’re in the right place.
New episodes of Dream with Dr Sheen every Monday.
