Episode 397: Faisal & Sam

FAISAL & SAM
About this episode

👉 LIVE EVENT TIX: https://fg.live

Faisal and Sam reunite for a classic, unfiltered catch-up—packed with hilarious stories, deep reflections, and raw honesty.

Faisal opens up about running Freshly Grounded full-time, the pressure to make the brand sustainable, and why this next live show feels different. Sam shares a surprising therapy lesson that changed his outlook on anger and peace, and the two reflect on their growth, purpose, and what it means to truly "be the one who did."

From late-night shawarma disasters to heartfelt insights on stress, parenting, business, and faith—this is a nostalgic return to what made FG what it is: real conversations between two brothers navigating life.
