    An new awesome marketplace all about connecting humans seeking wellness

    An new awesome marketplace all about connecting humans seeking wellness

    Rosa is the Founder of Anqa, a new wellness app that provides access to a bunch of awesome wellness services surrounding meditation, breathwork, yoga, different types of healing (sound, alternative and animal healing!). I downloaded Anqa just to check it out, but ended up booking a couple of services on the spot starting with a handpan session.

    She's an incredible entrepreneur and is on to something that is much needed in our hectic world of hamster wheels. Above all, she's a lovely soul and a new friend that I've had the honor to chat with about the challenges of entrepreneurship, bad actors who contaminate the wellness industry and how to make the most of what's available to heal major issues including tumors, which Rosa's horse was the first to spot in her ovaries. Fortunately, Rosa's benign tumor has been shrinking largely to her horse riding meditation, which is one of the services you can get on Anqa!
    I can't recommend this episode enough for anyone interested in focusing on wellness outside of meds, clinics and surgery rooms. All the best to you Rosa and the entire team at Anqa!

    #29 طلال طباع - بيتكوين وقصص مثيرة من عالم العملات الرقمية

    أقوى نقاش عن بيتكوين والعملات الرقمية باللغة العربية (مع شوية إنجليزي اجباري) مع الأخ والخبير طلال طباع، المدير التنفيذي لشركة كوين مينا - Round 2 👊🏻

    استضفت طلال في أول حلقة من بود كاس في سبتمبر ٢٠٢٠، عندما كان سعر البيتكوين اقل من 10,000$. تشرفت باستقباله الأسبوع الماضي للمرة الثانية بعد أن تجاوز سعر بيتكوين 70,000$ لأول مرة في التاريخ, حيث تشعب نقاشنا إلى عدة مواضيع مهمة وقصص مثيرة داخل وخارج نطاق العملات الرقمية. واستلمنا مكالمة عفوية غير متوقعة على الهواء مباشرة من الصديق فهد زعمط (Punny Pun Times)

    تحدثنا عن المخاطر التي قد تعرقل الصعود المستمر للبيتكوين، تسائلنا من ممكن أن يكون ساتوشي ناكاموتو (مخترع بيتكوين الغامض)، ناقشنا NFTs وتعمقنا بأهمية عامل الثقة والصدق الفكري في الشراكة. روى لنا طلال بعض القصص المثيرة "المشفرة" التي عاشها في مشواره بالعملات الرقمية.

    #28 with Yasmeen Al Naif - Highschool Nostalgia, Mental Health, Parenting and Healing Modalities

    #28 with Yasmeen Al Naif - Highschool Nostalgia, Mental Health, Parenting and Healing Modalities

    Last time I saw Yasmeen Al Naif was in 2002 when we were performing West Side Story at our high school theater. Fast forward 22 years later, Yasmeen became a serial entrepreneur, a mother of 3, a hypnotherapist and the host of her own podcast 'Pivot DXB', which is focused on career pivots. It was so refreshing to hangout after so many years!
    This episode has a bit of everything: Childhood memories, podcasting, comparing & contrasting our experiences with mental health, impromptu confessions, ADHD, discussions around different modalities of therapy/healing/coaching, the marvelous wonder of parenting and much more. We laughed, reminisced, debated and most importantly had an absolute blast.
    Catch Yasmeen's awesome show wherever you get your podcasts and if you're interested in hypnotherapy, you definitely want to reach out to her.

    #27 with Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi - Saving Oceans (feat. Seafood Souq), Entrepreneurship & Perspectives on the UAE

    #27 with Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi - Saving Oceans (feat. Seafood Souq), Entrepreneurship & Perspectives on the UAE

    Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi (aka 'Turtle Sheikh') is a member of the UAE's Royal Family, Executive Chairman at the Department of Government Relations in Sharjah, Co-Founder of Seafood Souq and a good old friend from our days back at Kearney. When he's not swimming in oceans saving turtles (literally), he's probably dining with Gary Vee or with the President of Guatemala to discuss Economic relations with Sharjah. 
    Last time Fahim and I caught up was more than 12 years ago, but it didn't take long for me to remember how funny, humble and smart he is - for an Emirati (joke context towards the end of our chat). On a serious note, catching up with Fahim in-person reminded me of the ingenuity that's behind the incredible story of the UAE and the unwavering passion that drives authentic entrepreneurship.

    In the first half of this episode, we discuss the story behind Right Farm, fascinating insights about food supply, sustainability challenges, food waste management and other related topics across the value chain within Right Farm's vicinity.
    Even though we just met, Elie and I both worked as Management Consultants earlier in our careers and also studied at the American University of Beirut (AUB) between 2004-2007. Naturally, we also had an awesome chat about our common past experiences and went down the Lebanon memory lane after 15 years of our graduation.

    #25 with Zina Ajlouny - Startups (feat. Palma), Management Consulting, Mental Health & KSA 2.0

    Zina is a serial entrepreneur, mentor (500 Startups), ex-BCG and worked at Careem just before the acquisition by Uber. Most recently, she co-founded Palma de Salus, the "perfect hand sanitizer" inspired by the pain points that surfaced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Above all, Zina is a good old friend, a work colleague and someone I've always admired & enjoyed catching up with. We also lived in New York, San Francisco, Dubai and Amman at various stages of our lives, so naturally our discussion had multiple vantage points based on what we've experienced.
    In this overdue catch up, we discuss trends and misconceptions surrounding startups, the pros and cons of management consulting, healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms (addictions), gender equality and the fascinating rebirth of KSA.
