Show Notes
In this episode, Jeannette talks to the DJ, motorsports entrepreneur, musician, and public speaker Farah Nanji. She explains how a passion for karting and playing Spanish guitar helped her to overcome bullying and dyspraxia which is a developmental coordination disorder.
An experience that inspired her to use those talents to help others to overcome adversity and find their way in life. Including helping companies to use sport to build, develop and inspire their teams. She explains how being diagnosed with dyspraxia affected her and the approach she took to minimise the negative impact it has on her.

ABOUT THE GUEST
When music is your yin and racing your yang, it's no surprise that London born Farah Nanji, known by her artist alias as NINJA, has had some of the world's wisest stages from Pacha Ibiza to Egg London spinning into transcendent circles for the last decade.
Fascinated with the ancient art of the warrior since she was a child, NINJA has spent her whole life honing her craft; from playing instruments at a young age, to being trained by the renowned Buddha Bar Group in her teenage years. All roads have led to her being globally recognised as a DJ and thought leader in her field today.
Inspired by ethnic roots from the Indian and African sub-continents, she paints her creative canvas through an extraordinary exploration of live sounds and enchanting frequencies, from the electric guitar to the sitar.
These sounds create hypnotic portals which are looped into pulsating waves of deep tech and techno, transporting listeners into the ultimate meditative zone.
She is currently writing her debut album, The 13th Code, a deep exploration of planetary frequencies with numerology.
Farah is passionate about driving change around the world through her own leadership and humanitarian initiatives while challenging the status quo.
Trained as a journalist with the Ibiza Paper in 2014, Farah has since interviewed some of the biggest change makers in the industry such as Pete Tong as well as warming up for prolific artists like Nicole Moudaber, Subb-An, Pete Tong, Fur Coat, Blond:ish, My Favourite Robot, Third Son, Roger Sanchez, Deadmau5, Karmon, HVOB, Stimming & more.
She is also a highly accomplished public speaker and is one of the few DJs in the world to deliver a TEDx talk, which took place in the Luxembourg Philharmonie in 2019.
