Meet
Reuben
As a kid, I loved two things: connecting with people and helping them out. I turned every classroom, playground, and family gathering into an opportunity to bring people together—always finding joy in encouraging others. That playful kid never really left; he just found bigger stages.
My Story
Back In The Day
Growing up neurodiverse and Malaysian Indian in the melting pot of Newham, East London, my early years were beautifully messy. School was tough because I cared more about community than conformity—I constantly got into trouble for having "too much fun". But this relentless pursuit of joy became the driving force behind my unconventional career journey.
The Big Low
Everything changed when a major breakdown in 2017 led me into psychotherapy. I discovered the power of authenticity, community, and the importance of embracing my multipotentiality rather than resisting it. Realising I didn't have to do it alone was a game-changer—I founded Dream Rehab, creating spaces where people connect, collaborate, and actualise their dreams together.

My Squiggly Career
Ignoring traditional paths, I tried everything from acting and stand-up comedy to graphic design, event promotion, and TV presenting. In 2008, a near-win at MTV’s national talent competition showed me that my curiosity and charisma had real potential. But the rollercoaster of chasing my passions often led to burnout, anxiety, and isolation.
Today's Mission
Today, my mission is clearer than ever. I use my background in stand-up comedy, twenty years of stage experience, and deep empathy to transform stiff corporate moments into memorable human experiences. Whether I’m hosting global conferences, delivering keynote speeches, or coaching individuals to speak confidently, my approach remains radically human, playful, and always impactful.
Mission In Motion
Looking back, I’ve realised that every project I’ve created—whether a workshop, live event, podcast, or online show—has been driven by the same quiet force: a deep desire to help people grow into their full, authentic selves. Even before I had the language for it, I was building spaces that invited reflection, connection, courage and action. Mission in Motion is a snapshot of some of those heart-led creations—each one designed to inspire possibility and empower people to move forward in their lives with a little more clarity, confidence, and community.
