Faisal and Kaya flip the usual “life is a sprint” motivational message on its head.

Instead of talking about short bursts of intensity, they dive into the marathon parts of life: the slow, steady habits that compound over years and truly shape who we become.

From memorizing the Qur’an (even just 3 āyāt a day), to cutting sugar from your tea, to improving in sales, lowering your gaze, managing finances, and building patience (ṣabr & ḥilm), the brothers reflect on the things worth pacing yourself for.

This is an episode about playing the long game in life: spiritually, financially, and personally.
