Faisal and Kaya are joined by Sulaiman on production and a special guest: 15-year-old Musa, who’s flown in from the UK for a two-day work experience placement at FG HQ.

The episode kicks off with jokes, chair upgrades, and coffee bean debates, and evolves into a meaningful conversation about AI in medicine, Muslim infrastructure, and how to carry ourselves with principle, discipline, and mercy

Faisal shares powerful reflections on his doctor Dr. Fawzy going viral, and the importance of sincerity in media. We also dive into sports competitiveness, character development, and what we can learn from pro athletes like Moeen Ali.

Whether you’re a long-time FG fan or just discovering us, this episode is a true rollercoaster of laughs, wisdom, and behind-the-scenes chaos including unexpected Amazon deliveries, chair hacks, and heartfelt advice to the next generation.
