    Episode 423: Abu Lahya

    Abu Lahya's mentorship: https://application.imaccelerator.com/fg1 👉 Episode notes: https://notes.fg.media/notes/bBNdtYRq_xI 👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live Faisal sits down with Abu Lahya — one of the clearest voices right now for Muslims who want to build serious businesses without living in the grey areas. We get into the real story behind his "Muslim Alex Hormozi" label… including the wild moment he spent $250,000 buying 10,000 copies of Hormozi's book as a marketing stunt — which ended up getting him invited to a private, NDA-heavy mastermind day with the Acquisition.com team. Then the episode turns into a masterclass in perseverance. Abu Lahya breaks down his 5-day "start from zero" challenge in America where he tried to make $1,000 with no money and no connections… and spent most of the challenge stuck on $3, even collecting trash for $2 at one point. He talks about the pressure of failing publicly, getting clowned live, nearly putting all his eggs in one basket… and then finally closing a $6,000 deal on day 6 — live — with $3,000 paid on the spot. If you're trying to build something, stay halal, and stop quitting the second it gets hard — this one will hit. 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­ ✉️ Contact Us  • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: hello@freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

    Episode 422: Simon Says Squat

    👉 Episode notes: https://notes.fg.media 👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live Faisal and Kaya are joined by Simon "Simon Says Squat" for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation that starts with AI and content… and ends up somewhere much deeper. They talk honestly about: - how AI should be used as a tool, not a replacement for thinking - why doom-scrolling rewires your brain towards stress and negativity - parenting in the age of information overload - raising children with a strong Muslim identity without forcing it - Qur'an time with kids: when to be gentle, when to be firm - habits vs environments (and why forcing rarely works) - preparing for Ramadan without burnout or guilt why doing the basics consistently beats chasing extremes - how forgetting death makes us careless, and remembering it puts everything back in place Simon also opens up about how the passing of Lats deeply affected him, forcing real self-reflection about purpose, legacy, and how we're actually living. 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­ ✉️ Contact Us  • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: hello@freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

    Episode 421: Hamza Tzortzis

    Faisal sits down with Hamza Tzortzis for one of those conversations that starts with "bro you lost weight?"… and ends up deep in ḥikmah, the algorithm, tadabbur, and why modern Muslims are quietly outsourcing their brains to AI. Hamza breaks down: why "1/3 food, 1/3 water, 1/3 air" is a limit, not a target how hunger can be reframed as your body repairing itself his "B + C + D" framework for living with intention (and keeping everything Allāh-centric) why short-form content can't be your whole dā'wah strategy how the algorithm reshapes your morals without you noticing why natural beauty and Qur'anic beauty are antidotes to ego + modernity why "scientific miracles in the Qur'an" can be a trap, and the more robust approach he built (and wrote a whole PhD on) what Sapience Institute is doing behind the scenes, and the launch of Sapience Academy to train 10,000 intellectual ambassadors by 2030 If you've ever felt like the internet is making everyone louder, harsher, and dumber… this one will recalibrate you. 👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live 👉HIGH-LEVEL SOFTWARE: https://buy.stripe.com/aFa7sLcUR5dUdcHeKScMM0H 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­ ✉️ Contact Us  • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: hello@freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

    Episode 420: The Airport Guy

    👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live Faisal sits down with Mohammad Taher, better known as "The Airport Guy", the man who's made airports weirdly fascinating for half a million people. Mohammad breaks down how he actually gets access to the runway, why his growth took years before it looked "overnight", and the exact moment he went from 8k followers → 150k in 30 days after doubling down on one niche. They get into airport realities and travel "hacks" that actually work: 👉 The truth about getting your bag out faster (and why "last in, first out" is a risky game) 👉 How baggage systems really work (yes, bags can get "parked" by robots) 👉 What causes bags to get destroyed (rucksack straps… beware) 👉 Why old barcode stickers can literally send your luggage to the wrong country 👉 Why free business class upgrades are basically dead (and what to do instead) 👉 Starlink WiFi on planes: "game over" for working while flying 👉 Ryanair's savage turnaround process 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­ ✉️ Contact Us  • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: hello@freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

    Episode 419

    👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live Faisal reflects on the passing of our brother Abdul Latif (Lats): the kind of person whose good character didn't just affect his friends… it affected people who never even met him. We talk about what that says about the power of uplifting energy, why people's tongues speaking well of you after you're gone matters, and the reminder his death gives all of us: prepare to meet Allah. From there, the conversation shifts into a surprisingly practical (and very relatable) topic: parenting. Faisal breaks down a simple quadrant that explains why "high love + high discipline" beats every other style, why routine creates safety for kids, and how parents can be firm without being harsh. There are real examples too: bedtime routines, not repeating yourself, apologies, guest etiquette, and the tiny habits that shape a child's character. We end with a debate on homeschooling vs school, Islamic online schooling, socialisation myths, and what structure actually looks like in real family life. And yes: Freshly Grounded Live UK Tour 2026 is officially happening (London, Birmingham + more cities to be announced). It's just days before Ramadan, come "check in" with us and get yourself in Ramadan mode.

    Episode 418

    LIVE UK TOUR: https://fg.live   Faisal's away… so the FG lot took the mic. In this catch-up, Ibrahim, Kaya and Sulaiman talk Dubai coffee shop culture (including the "free booth for 2 hours" spot), what they're working on right now, and why "start now" beats waiting for New Year motivation. They also go deep on what's actually working on social media right now: raw FaceTime-style content, personality-first posting, and why people can smell "ChatGPT script energy" from a mile away. Plus: building a personal brand as your modern-day CV, getting serious about health without becoming a militant calorie counter, and why accountability is the missing ingredient for most people's goals. We wrap with quick, actionable next steps: post daily, track your numbers properly, and focus on doing more of what works, not just doing more.

    Episode 417: Abid Khan

    In a world obsessed with "bigger, faster, more" - Shaykh Abid Khan brings the conversation back to what's right in front of us: your character, your discipline, and your immediate responsibilities. We also get practical: how to track your time, how shayṭān's "entry points" can be as unique as a fingerprint, and why being in the company of scholars and mentors matters more (not less) in the AI era — plus how specialists (like creators, founders, and technologists) also have a responsibility to learn the Islamic principles relevant to their field. This one is a reset. A recalibration. And we definitely need a Part 2. 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 👉 Hot Food Distribution in Gza: https://launchgood.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­ ✉️ Contact Us  • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: hello@freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

    Episode 416

    👉 Faisal's mentorship: freshlygrounded.com/mentorship 👉 Free ebook: https://identity.desqy.com This solo episode breaks down the dilemma so many Muslims face today: we want more freedom, more family time, more control over our schedule, but we don't want to chase trends, compromise our values, or become "influencers" for the algorithm.  After 15 years in content creation and leading marketing for a global Muslim app, I'm sharing the simple middle ground I believe solves it: YouTube. I explain why short-form content burns you out, why YouTube lets your videos compound for years, how search-based content brings the right people straight to you, and why long-form is the fastest way to build trust and real income without losing your dīn.  If you're a barber, therapist, designer, chiropractor, mechanic, or any expert with knowledge worth sharing — this episode shows you how to turn that into ethical online income without dancing, acting, or compromising who you are. May Allah put barakah in your efforts, protect your intentions, and make your income a means of drawing closer to Him. 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 👉 Hot Food Distribution in Gza: https://launchgood.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­ ✉️ Contact Us  • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: hello@freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.
