Timing Your Decisions with Mickey Alam Khan

In this episode of The Cred Podcast, we’re joined by Mickey Alam Khan, CEO of Luxury Roundtable, global luxury expert, brand builder, and turnaround specialist.

Renowned for his ability to anticipate and capitalize on market shifts, Mickey has founded influential publications like Luxury Daily, Mobile Marketer, and American Marketer, and successfully navigated four business exits—making decision-making his specialty.

Mickey shares his approach to swift decision-making (24-48 hours max), why you can’t live with regret, and the few times a coin comes into play. “You make the decisions for the times you live in. You cannot second-guess yourself. Yes, you’ll make bad decisions. I made a couple of bad decisions in my life and you know what? They brought me to where I am today.”

You’ll also hear his unique take on the value of a college education, not as a qualification, but as a critical life experience that teaches social navigation, adaptability, and interpersonal skills—something that even the likes of Zuckerberg and Gates could have benefited from, in his view.

Tune in for a fascinating conversation on the mindset that drives success, how to trust your instincts, and why timing is everything
