What happens when the pursuit of success almost costs you your life?
In this episode of CTRL ALT SUCCEED, a life-changing moment forces Head of Programme: MBA, Seraj Toefy, to rethink what success really means.
After years of operating at full speed, balancing work, ambition, and family life, Seraj shares the wake-up call that made him question the constant hustle and the cost that often comes with it. From a moment when his heart literally stopped on a treadmill, to the realisation that success is not defined by money or relentless productivity, this conversation challenges the way many of us approach achievement. Together, we explore why slowing down is not about stepping back from success, but about creating the space to pursue it more sustainably. It is a conversation about ambition, health, boundaries, and perspective, touching on why self-care is not selfish, why difficult conversations matter, and how redefining our priorities can help us take control of our own journeys.
Because sometimes the biggest shift in success begins when we learn to slow down.
