Seeking Success Podcast

Hosted by Seeking Success

Two Toronto-based hosts interview entrepreneurs, creators, and people with unusual careers about their path to success.

The brief

A casual, two-on-one interview show where the hosts explore the origin stories and career paths of their guests. Episodes often focus on entrepreneurs and creators, digging into both the dramatic anecdotes (like being set on fire or chasing cartel members) and the practical business details (like revenue numbers and team operations). The vibe is less of a formal interview and more of a curious, sometimes humorous, conversation between friends.

The show's distinctive quality lies in its blend of raw, street-level stories with specific business metrics. The hosts are unafraid to ask direct questions about money, revenue, and the mental state required to perform under pressure, moving from a wild anecdote to a financial breakdown in the same conversation.

How Seeking Success interviews

Umar and Radies employ a conversational, tag-team interview style. They typically open by asking for the guest's broad origin story, tracing their path chronologically. Their approach is marked by genuine curiosity and audible reactions of shock or amusement, which encourages guests to share dramatic anecdotes. They build on each other's questions, often starting with a story and then drilling down into specifics with direct follow-ups about process ("What does your team do?"), mindset ("What's going on in your head?"), and money ("What's the brand's revenue, roughly?"). They are not confrontational, instead using a friendly and inquisitive demeanor to ask blunt questions about finances and failure.

The show is hosted by the duo of Umar Khan and Radies Rajakulam, who maintain a very casual and conversational tone. They often let guests begin with a compelling story before the official podcast intro even plays. Their recurring intro line is, "Welcome back to the Seeking Success podcast, number one podcast in Toronto."
