Seif El Hakim
About this episode

💥 What if silence was your loudest strategy — and taste, trust, and integrity were your only marketing?


Welcome back, Alpha Squad, to The Alpha Talks Show — the #1 fastest-growing podcast in the region. In this sleek and soul-searching episode, Seif El Hakim – The Alpha sits down with Karim Haddad — the man behind some of Dubai’s most luxurious car deals, iconic showrooms, and billionaire relationships.


But this episode isn’t just about supercars and speed. It’s about intentionality, obsession, and building a brand so powerful… it never had to scream. From starting his Instagram page with zero followers to becoming a trusted advisor in ultra-luxury circles, Karim shares the mindset, the mistakes, and the silent sacrifices behind his rise.


This is not your average car guy story. This is about purpose-driven living, digital elegance, and the quiet war between integrity and hype.


🎙 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why Karim believes luxury is a mindset, not a price tag

✅ How selling his first car through Instagram changed everything

✅ The real reason he refuses to grow big, loud, or viral

✅ Why silence became his most global language

✅ The art of dealing with billionaires — and filtering time-wasters

✅ What Karim thinks of electric cars, flex culture, and the future of luxury

✅ His most painful lesson — and the truth he hears in his quietest moments

✅ What Karim wants to be remembered for… beyond the cars, the watches, and the feed


💡 Why This Episode Matters:

In a world of digital noise and social flex, Karim Haddad stands as a rare symbol of quiet excellence.

His story reminds us that legacy isn’t built in likes — it’s built in character, class, and consistency.

If you’ve ever felt like playing the long game in a world of shortcuts… this one’s for you.
