We're joined once again by the incredible Ben Iqra, but this time, in our brand new studio, with our brand new producer Sulaiman behind the scenes, and a brand new PS5 gifted by Omar (we'll explain).

Ben opens up about his hijrah journey across Turkey and Bahrain, how he built a halal social media growth agency from scratch, and what it's really like to build a family, business, and future abroad. He shares insights on growing ethically on social media, why most content flops, and how your intention in business matters more than you think.

This episode is filled with brotherhood, barakah, behind-the-scenes stories, and a whole lot of heart.
