Anton Putilin is not your everyday entrepreneur — he’s the rare mix of business mastermind and spiritual energy healer living right here in RAK. By day, he’s helping founders align their purpose with their profits, and by night, he’s meditating under desert skies with his wife and kids (yes, even his toddler is in on it). He’s living proof that Ras Al Khaimah doesn’t just build towers — it builds people who think bigger, breathe deeper, and somehow make self-discovery sound cooler than Netflix.
Interview Highlights
🎬 Movie magic moment: A film in 2016 sparked his path to self-practice — and one year later, the UAE practically pulled him here.
🌍 From IT to inner peace: After two decades in business, Anton traded spreadsheets for soul work — and never looked back.
🧘 Family goals: His whole crew meditates, including his three-year-old daughter (your toddler is still throwing Legos, right?).
🏖️ Desert + BBQ = bliss: For Anton, the UAE’s beaches and dunes aren’t just landscapes — they’re energy-charging stations.
🚀 Business with soul: He coaches founders to align their inner compass so their companies can grow with purpose, not just profit.
💡 Obstacle = opportunity: His mantra? Every problem is just a disguised chance to level up.
🌟 Shoutout to WOW-RAK: He sees platforms like WOW-RAK as keys to helping people and businesses show their full potential.
