    Charbel Khoury: How Much Money Is Enough?

    Does earning more money bring you closer to freedom, or keep you chasing the next milestone? Charbel Khoury, founder and CEO of Atlantis Group, joins Luca Allam to explore the psychology of money and what financial freedom really means. Drawing on nearly 30 years in finance and his experience growing up during Lebanon’s war, Charbel explains why a financial plan should start with the life you want to live. They discuss financial anxiety, investing, passive income, parenting, and the difficult question of knowing when you have enough. Charbel also shares how spirituality and purpose shape his approach to wealth—and why reaching a financial goal can be the beginning of a new conversation about what matters most.

    Off Track: What’s The Backstory?

    Welcome back to Off Track, the space where I speak unscripted, unfiltered, and share an insight or two. There are no guests, no scripts. This week, I reflect on my conversation with Ahlam Bolooki, CEO of the Emirates Literature Foundation, and one simple sentence that stayed with me: “Everyone makes sense once you know the backstory.” What’s Their Backstory? We’re incredibly quick to judge people. Ignorance is easier than curiosity. It’s easier to label someone than to take the time to understand what might actually be going on beneath the surface. We fill in the gaps using our own experiences, patterns and unconscious biases. We think we know someone’s “type” because they remind us of someone we’ve met before. But their story could be completely different. And context changes communication. From something as small as a bad journey to a meeting, to pressure at work, challenges at home or experiences stretching all the way back to childhood, the more we understand someone’s backstory, the better we understand the human in front of us. So who have you judged recently without really knowing their backstory? Honest, reflective and straight off my chest and off the cuff. Welcome to Off Track.

    Can Books Survive AI? Ahlam Bolooki on Reading, Creativity and Human Stories

    Can books and human creativity survive in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence? Ahlam Bolooki, CEO of the Emirates Literature Foundation, joins Luca Allam to explore the future of reading, storytelling and creativity in the age of AI. She discusses why stories remain essential to the human experience, how parents can nurture a love of reading in children, and whether the next generation will read more or less. Ahlam also reflects on leading a nonprofit organisation, supporting Emirati writers and strengthening the UAE’s literary ecosystem. Beyond books, she shares personal lessons about motherhood, leadership, grief and the lasting influence of her late mother—including why motherhood taught her more about leadership than any professional course. An inspiring conversation about protecting human creativity, finding purpose and remembering that every day is a gift.

    Off Track: Talk Human to Me

    Welcome back to Off Track, the space where I speak unscripted, unfiltered and straight from the heart. No guests, no scripts, just honest reflections shaped by real conversations and real life.   This week's episode is a little more personal. After launching my first book, Talk Human, I found myself thinking about the one idea that sits at the heart of it:   Connection Starts With You   For most of my life, I thought connection came from other people. Being liked. Being validated. Feeling supported and loved.   I thought reaching the top of my career and becoming a CEO would somehow give me that feeling. Instead, I realised I had become disconnected from myself.   In this episode, I share what happened when I started trying to understand who I was without the title, why reconnecting with myself changed the way I communicate, and why that journey ultimately became Talk Human.   Because great communication isn't just about storytelling, presentations or saying the right words. It's about knowing who you are and giving yourself permission to show up as that person.   And in a world where AI is making our emails, presentations and posts sound increasingly the same, that individuality matters more than ever. The more technology advances, the more our humanity becomes our differentiator. AI might just force us to become more human than ever before.   Honest, reflective and straight from the heart. Off my chest and off the cuff.   Welcome to Off Track.

    Off Track: Are You a Dog or a Horse?

    Welcome back to Off Track, the space where I speak unscripted, unfiltered and straight from the heart. No guests, no scripts, just honest reflections shaped by real conversations and real life.   This week’s episode was inspired by my conversation with James Michael Lafferty, and his brilliantly simple analogy when it comes to what you respond best to: are you a dog or a horse?   Some of us respond to encouragement. Others respond to being challenged. But we naturally communicate with people in the way we like to be communicated with. In this episode, I explore why real connection starts with understanding yourself, then working just as hard to understand the person in front of you and how to best connect with them.   Because communication isn’t just about what you want to say. It’s about how they need to hear it. So how often do you really think about what the other person needs from you?   Honest, reflective and straight from the heart. Off my chest and off the cuff. Welcome to Off Track.

    James Michael Lafferty: The Brutal Truth About Leadership, Hard Work & Success

    Global business leader, former CEO, Olympic coach, and powerlifting world champion James Michael Lafferty joins Luca Allam for a raw conversation about leadership, hard work, accountability, resilience, and what it really takes to succeed. With more than 35 years of experience across global companies including Procter Gamble, Coca-Cola, British American Tobacco, and Fine Hygienic Holding, James shares the lessons that shaped his unconventional approach to business and leadership. From why he believes people quit too early and why loyalty still matters, to corporate politics, coaching different personalities, marketing, ethics, and the realities of reaching the top, James doesn’t shy away from challenging modern ideas about work and success. But this conversation goes far beyond business. James opens up about being bullied as a child, becoming a powerlifting champion, fatherhood, adoption, divorce, personal mistakes, guilt, and why he remains harder on himself than anyone else.A conversation about leadership, grit, accountability, and the experiences that shape who we become. في حوار صريح مع لوكا علام، يشارك جيمس مايكل لافرتي أهم دروسه في القيادة، العمل الجاد، المثابرة والمسؤولية بعد أكثر من 35 عاماً في كبرى الشركات العالمية.كما يتحدث عن تجارب شخصية شكّلت حياته، من التنمر والرياضة إلى الأبوة والتبنّي والأخطاء، وكيف انعكست هذه التجارب على فلسفته في النجاح والقيادة. #JamesMichaelLafferty #LucasInsightTrack #LucaAllam #TalkHuman #Leadership #Success #Business #Accountability #Resilience #WorkEthic #PersonalGrowth #Podcast

    Off Track: Get to the Point

    Welcome back to Off Track, the space where I speak unscripted, unfiltered and straight from the heart. No guests, no scripts, just honest reflections shaped by real conversations and real life. This week’s episode was inspired by my conversation with Sally Moussa Hajjar, and one simple thing she said that stuck with me: just tell people what you actually want.   What Do You Really Want?   Every conversation has an agenda. But how often is the stated agenda actually the real agenda?   We see it in performance reviews, client meetings, friendships and relationships. We talk around what we really want, avoid the elephant in the room and then wonder why we walk away disappointed. In this episode, I explore something I use regularly in my communication coaching: understanding your real agenda, understanding theirs, and finding the message that connects the two.   Because sometimes saying what you really want can feel uncomfortable. But it can also be incredibly disarming. It can clear up misunderstandings, repair damaged relationships and stop us wasting time talking around what everyone already knows.   Honest, reflective and straight from the heart.  Off my chest and off the cuff.    Welcome to Off Track.
