In this intimate conversation with Raj, Khalil Rafati, founder of SunLife Organics and author of the bestselling memoir "I Forgot to Die," shares his remarkable journey from addiction and homelessness to becoming a successful wellness entrepreneur and spiritual seeker. With 21 years of sobriety and 18 thriving juice bar locations across the country, Khalil brings raw honesty and hard-won wisdom to this conversation about transformation, authenticity, and the power of incremental change.


Key Insights:

  • Why hitting rock bottom might be the greatest gift for true transformation
  • The surprising truth about "losing everything" that most people miss
  • How tiny daily habits can create monumental life changes
  • What a near-death experience taught him about God and darkness
  • The unexpected way nutritional healing sparked spiritual awakening
  • Why authenticity requires peeling back painful layers of conditioning
  • The counterintuitive approach to sustainable personal growth
  • What building a multimillion-dollar business taught him about faith
  • How relationships become our greatest mirror for growth
  • The hidden gift in feeling completely worthless

This deeply vulnerable conversation offers hope and practical wisdom for anyone seeking genuine transformation. Whether you're struggling with addiction, building a business, or simply trying to live more authentically, Khalil's journey demonstrates that our darkest moments can become the foundation for extraordinary growth. His raw honesty about both his struggles and successes provides a roadmap for how small, consistent changes in how we think, eat, and relate to others can radically transform our lives.
