Helicopters, Bombs, and Becoming More: Cyrus's Story

What if your earliest memory was watching five helicopters shot down—and knowing yours was next?

In this raw, expansive conversation, Cyrus Jaffery shares the unfiltered journey from war-torn Afghanistan to building a multi-million-dollar insurance empire in the U.S. He opens up about escaping the Taliban as a child, surviving sexual trauma, working fast food at 14 to pay his family’s bills, and what it really means to stop running and start healing.

We talk survival. We talk leadership. We talk fatherhood.
But most of all—we talk about what’s underneath the success story no one wants to ask about.

This episode isn’t about Cyrus’s wins. It’s about what he carried through the rough to get there.

🔹 Why doesn’t he cry?
🔹 What did he hide from his wife for years?
🔹 Does he still feel like a refugee, even at the top?

You’ve never heard a story like this.
And by the end, you’ll wonder:
What if the success you’re chasing is just a distraction from the healing you’ve avoided?
