Episode 394: DoseOfDris

FAISAL & SAM
About this episode

👉 LIVE EVENT TIX: https://fg.live

From humble beginnings making YouTube videos at 7 years old to becoming one of the most authentic and beloved Muslim content creators in the UK, Dris shares his full journey: quitting his job, finding his unique lane in content creation, and staying true to his faith and roots while building a massive community online.

We dive into family, culture, what it means to create authentically, how one viral video changed lives (including a French baker's business), and the pressures and rewards of life as a creator.

This episode is funny, raw, inspiring and full of wisdom for anyone chasing their dreams without selling their soul.
