What if the life many men are chasing—success, intimacy, freedom—actually sits on the other side of healing?
In this episode of At the Podium, Patrick Huey sits down with Zarak Fatah, a transformational coach and former serial entrepreneur, for a candid conversation about masculinity, trauma, faith, and the work of healing.
Zarak reflects on growing up as the son of Pakistani immigrants in Canada, the impact of bullying and shame on his identity, and how those early wounds fueled both ambition and avoidance—ultimately leading him to open one of Toronto’s most iconic restaurants, Blowfish.
Together, Patrick and Zarak explore why so many men and boys are struggling today with who they are in the world, the role of fatherhood and male role models, the cost of numbing behaviors (alcohol, drugs, pornography), and what real manhood looks like beyond performance and achievement. This is a conversation about responsibility, integrity, and choosing healing over avoidance.
