Bishoy is the author of two acclaimed books—Break Barriers: How Setbacks Can Dare You Rather Than Define You and Audacious: Uncaging Your Authentic Self—and the creator and host of the Mile 40 Podcast. Mile 40 has quickly become a standout in the health, wellness, and personal growth space, known for its compelling interviews with athletes, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who have turned adversity into opportunity.
Through the podcast, Bishoy has built a vibrant community of listeners who tune in for honest conversations about resilience, ambition, and the pursuit of meaningful goals.
Born in Egypt, Bishoy’s journey took a dramatic turn at age three when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, prompting his family’s move to the United States. Much of his childhood was spent in treatment on Long Island, NY, culminating in a life-saving brain surgery on his 13th birthday. After a decade of medical challenges, he was finally granted a clean bill of health—an experience that shaped his relentless drive and perspective on life.
Denied the chance to fully pursue athletics as a child, Bishoy returned to fitness as an adult with a renewed sense of purpose. He is now an Ironman and a dedicated marathon runner, in 2025 he cemented his name in history by becoming the first Egyptian to complete all seven World Major Marathons. Along the way, he has led charitable campaigns and raised over $150,000 for causes close to his heart, using his story to inspire others facing their own battles.
Professionally, Bishoy began his career at J.P. Morgan during the financial crisis, quickly distinguishing himself as a leader within the sales organization. In 2019, he transitioned into tech with Salesforce, earning recognition in the Sales Excellence Academy, an honor reserved for the top 10% of performers. Bishoy is also an active investor in the health and wellness industry, with over six figures invested in companies with health-driven missions.
He holds an undergraduate degree in Accounting from SUNY Geneseo and an MBA from Fordham University with concentrations in Management and Finance. Through every chapter of his journey, Bishoy remains committed to breaking barriers, building community, and reminding others that the comeback is always greater than the setback.
