Luca Allam
About this episode

What happens when Ebrahim Abbas, the 27-year-old Emirati truth-teller, sits down to discuss fighting fake news, the rise of Gen Z, and defending the UAE online? In this episode of Luca’s Insight Track, host Luca Allam flips the mic to the TikTok powerhouse whose viral myth-busting videos have sparked debate, reflection, and real-world impact.

This isn’t just about views—it’s a raw, thoughtful, and often funny deep dive into resilience, identity, and telling the truth online. Ebrahim shares his journey from accounting student and Big Four auditor to self-made millionaire investor and outspoken creator, explaining how surviving health challenges rewired his hunger to live fully.

Luca and Ebrahim explore loving your country out loud: calling out misinformation, navigating online influence and accountability, and discussing Gen Z ambition and the rise of Gen Alpha. They dive into fast cars, slower lives, and the ethics of going viral—why sources, credibility, and protecting truth matter more than winning arguments.

Whether you’re a creator, brand strategist, policy watcher, or curious about the Gulf, this episode is a masterclass in honest storytelling, media literacy, and digital impact.
