What does it take to rise, fall, and rise again? In this powerful episode of Luca’s Insight Track, Luca Allam sits down with Dariush Soudi—an Iranian-British entrepreneur and sales master whose journey defines the spirit of a true "Modern Day Gladiator." From owning multi-million-pound businesses in the UK to losing it all nearly overnight, surviving a brutal home invasion, and landing in Dubai with nothing, Dariush’s story is one of pain, resilience, and unstoppable grit. 

He opens up about childhood trauma, strained family ties, and the darkest chapter of his life—living in a maid’s room, feeding his children sugar donuts, and trying to reclaim his identity in a foreign country. What carried him through wasn’t money or connections, but love for his kids and a deep belief in himself. Dariush didn't just rebuild his life—he reinvented how to sell, connect, and lead. With no website or business card, he closed deals by leaning into his energy, empathy, and storytelling power. 

Dariush shares the 12 principles of his Gladiator Code—a life philosophy that’s now a global movement, a bestselling book, and soon, an AI-driven sales and mindset coach. He speaks candidly about ego, forgiveness, mindset, and why “everything is ultimately about love.” Whether it’s selling $36 million ships or coaching someone through rock bottom, his message is simple: resilience is built, not inherited. This episode is for anyone who’s felt lost, stuck, or like giving up. It’s not just about business—it’s about life, purpose, and what it means to keep fighting, even when the world writes you off. Dariush Soudi is proof that no matter how many times you fall, you can always rise again—stronger, smarter, and more true to who you really are.
