Today I speak with Nawaz Wahla. Nawaz shares his remarkable story, growing up in a rural Pakistan, raised by his father with modest means but with a strong belief in the paramount importance of education, a principle that guided Nawaz’s life through extraordinary hardships. By planting educational seeds well before knowing what to do when they would sprout, Nawaz was able to bounce back after bullets put an end to his military career. He went on to a successful life in law, but the itch to pursue the world’s best education still animates him to this day.
