In this special solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh opens up about a powerful, soul-stirring experience during his sabbatical in Tanzania. Broadcasting from Arusha, he reflects on his family’s two-week volunteer mission in the remote village of Ipalamwa with Global Volunteers.
From building chicken coops and earth boxes to visiting schools and pregnant mothers in extreme poverty, Darius shares what it was like to witness a level of hardship that most in the Western world will never encounter. He speaks candidly about guilt, gratitude, and the dangerous trap of constantly comparing ourselves to the top 1%.
