In this episode of Surviving the Side Hustle, Rob sits down with Mo Salami — a scientist turned global speaker who walked away from a high-paying pharmaceutical career to pursue a life of purpose, service, and personal development.
Mo’s story begins in a world where academic achievement defined success. After earning multiple science degrees and securing a prestigious role, he found himself working 16-hour days, exhausted and unfulfilled. Everything changed in a London bookstore when he stumbled upon The Success Principles by Jack Canfield — a single moment that became his catalyst into mindset work, personal development, and eventually, speaking on stages around the world.
Mo shares the turning points, the identity shifts, the lessons learned from world-class mentors (including Tony Robbins), and the frameworks that guide his coaching today. For anyone considering a career change, craving more meaning, or looking to level up their skillset and mindset, Mo provides a playbook for purposeful success.
1. Actual Success Beats Apparent Success
Mo realized that the world’s definition of success didn’t match his own. True success includes fulfillment, not just income or titles.
🔗 This echoes Prime Principle #3 Clarity — identifying what matters before chasing what doesn’t.
2. The Three Pillars of Purpose-Driven Achievement
Mo reveals his three-part approach to becoming world-class in anything:
3. Identity Shifts Are Required for Big Leaps
Leaving pharmacy wasn’t just a career change — it required redefining who he was. Mo reminds listeners that you don’t start from zero; you transfer your competencies into a new arena.
4. Don’t Attempt the Journey Alone
From Tony Robbins to global mentors, Mo accelerated his growth by learning directly from the best. Coaches collapse decades into days — and keep you accountable to the identity you want to step into.
