Why Invite Affan Shaikhsurab as a Guest?
I bring the rare mix of technical depth and raw personal storytelling. I’ve built everything from AI tools and a blockchain to my own programming language — all before 22 — and I don’t just share the wins, I talk about the real behind-the-scenes: the failures, mindset shifts, and what it takes to keep building when nothing’s working. Whether it’s breaking down complex tech in simple terms or reflecting on self-growth through experiments and discipline, I bring energy, honesty, and actionable insights. I connect especially well with young founders, builders, and creatives trying to figure things out — because I’m right there with them.
