Karak Chat

Zeyan, Vishall and Prateek

Karak Chat started over a casual cup of karak with friends in Dubai — just real talk about life, work, and everything in between. That’s when we realised: these conversations deserve a mic. This podcast brings you unfiltered chats with guests from all walks of life — different cultures, careers, and backgrounds. We dive into their stories, challenges, wins, and what it really takes to build a life in the UAE and beyond. Whether you're living in Dubai, aspiring to move, or navigating a similar lifestyle anywhere in the world — this is your space.

    If I Had AED 2 Million, Here’s Where I’d Invest in Dubai

    If you had AED 2 million to invest in Dubai real estate today, where would you put it?In this episode of Karak Chat, I sit down with Kamal from Kirpa Properties to understand Dubai real estate from the perspective of someone who actually works with buyers and investors every day.Instead of keeping the conversation theoretical, I gave Kamal different scenarios, from an international investor sitting outside the UAE with AED 2 million, to someone living in Dubai wondering whether they should continue renting or finally buy their own home.In this conversation:• Why Kamal chose Dubai real estate• The reality of working 14–15 hour days as an agent• Why rejection and consistency matter in real estate• Dubai's current real estate market• Freehold vs leasehold explained• Off-plan vs ready properties• How 50/50 property payment plans work• Whether non-residents can get mortgages in Dubai• Rental ROI vs capital appreciation• Apartments vs townhouses• What Kamal would do with AED 2 million• Why Dubai South is attracting investors• Areas to consider if you're buying a home for yourself• How to calculate property ROI• Why some buyers should consider buying instead of renting• The responsibility real estate agents have when handling investors' money• How mentorship helped Kamal build her careerThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial or investment advice.

    Why Your LinkedIn Isn't Bringing You the Right Opportunities ft. Rashiqua Feroze

    Your LinkedIn profile might be doing more than just sitting there. It could be shaping how recruiters, clients, founders and potential business partners see you before you ever speak to them.In this episode of Karak Chat, I sit down with Personal Branding Strategist Rashiqua Feroze to talk about what it really takes to build a powerful personal brand on LinkedIn.Rashiqua works with founders, executives and professionals to build their presence on LinkedIn, and during our conversation, she even audits my own profile and points out what I’m doing right, what I’m doing wrong, and what I need to change.We talk about why LinkedIn is no longer just a platform for finding jobs, how storytelling can help you stand out, why raw and authentic content often works better than overly polished content, and how consistently showing up online can create opportunities you never expected.We also get into LinkedIn SEO, profile optimization, headlines, About sections, recommendations, content strategy, the metrics that actually matter, and how long it takes to start seeing results.But this conversation goes beyond LinkedIn.Rashiqua and I also talk about entrepreneurship, building a business in the UAE, authenticity online, faith, Tawakkul, increasing your “luck surface area,” dealing with difficult clients, and what success actually means when you’re still ambitious for more.If you're a working professional, founder, entrepreneur or someone trying to build a personal brand, this episode will give you a completely different perspective on what your LinkedIn profile can do for you.Because sometimes the next opportunity doesn't come from you searching for it.It comes from someone finding you.🎙️ Karak Chat with Rashiqua Feroze#LinkedIn #PersonalBranding #LinkedInTips #CareerGrowth #Entrepreneurship #KarakChatChapters00:00 Raw content beats perfection00:55 Meet personal branding strategist Rashiqua Feroze02:19 Moving to Dubai and becoming an entrepreneur03:05 How she discovered the personal branding opportunity04:23 Why founders need to build their own brand06:53 What if you're uncomfortable on camera?09:16 Does the internet really want perfection?11:04 Should your first hire be a social media strategist?13:00 Who actually needs personal branding?15:03 LinkedIn isn't just for finding jobs17:15 Why storytelling works on LinkedIn17:49 What type of LinkedIn content performs?20:14 Rashiqua ROASTS my LinkedIn profile21:26 My first big LinkedIn mistake23:03 What your LinkedIn cover should say25:06 How to write a powerful LinkedIn headline27:37 Fixing your LinkedIn About section30:08 How often should you post?30:22 Why you need a Featured section32:05 Can LinkedIn actually help you get hired?33:14 Your Digital Professional Presence34:51 What is a Google Knowledge Panel?37:14 Can ChatGPT recommend you to potential clients?38:31 Why LinkedIn is easier than Instagram and YouTube39:35 The LinkedIn metrics you should actually track42:26 One thing I actually did right on LinkedIn43:38 The biggest mistake people make with personal branding45:44 How much does LinkedIn personal branding cost?48:26 Building a personal branding agency49:08 The biggest challenge in personal branding50:28 Advice for aspiring personal branding strategists52:58 5 steps to start growing on LinkedIn54:33 Faith, effort and Tawakkul57:38 How to increase your “luck surface area”59:48 Why Tawakkul shapes her life1:00:42 “Tie your camel” and then trust God1:02:14 Being a woman entrepreneur in the UAE1:04:59 What does success really mean?1:07:28 The most difficult type of client1:08:31 Should you create an online persona?1:11:15 The perfect client1:12:34 What's next for her business?1:13:57 Her question for me1:14:21 Tomorrow is always too late

    She Moved to Dubai With No Job. 3 Years Later, She’s Building Her Own Company ft. Maya Biloju

    Guest: Maya BilojuFollow Maya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maya.bliojuHost: Vishall BoppanaFollow Vishall onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishallboppana/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vishall.boppanaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bvishall/---------------What happens when you move to Dubai with no job, no apartment, one connection and only €5,000 in your bank account?In this episode of Karak Chat, I sit down with Maya to talk about her journey from Romania to Belgium, from electromechanical engineering to startups, and eventually to building her own media business in Dubai.Maya originally studied electromechanical engineering and even worked on projects connected to BMW. But she quickly realised that the traditional 9-to-5 path wasn't for her.That decision took her into the startup world, where she helped build a VR platform for the dental industry, worked across Europe and the Middle East, discovered marketing and content creation, and eventually visited Dubai in 2023.During that first trip, she decided: "I'm gonna make this my home."Five months later, she came back with around €5,000, no job and nowhere permanent to live.After LinkedIn didn't get her results, she started attending networking events. One conversation led to another, and within three weeks she had found a job and moved into her own place.We talk about why networking matters so much in Dubai, how business culture here differs from Europe, dealing with rejection, learning how to close deals, starting a business in the UAE, building a personal brand, AI and the future of content creation.We also get into the reality of "fake it till you make it", why building in public could become one of the most powerful personal branding strategies, women in marketing and real estate, and one of Maya's biggest lessons from Dubai:You need to move fast.This isn't just a conversation about moving to Dubai. It's about taking risks, adapting quickly, building relationships and creating opportunities when there isn't an obvious path in front of you.If you're thinking about moving to Dubai, starting a business, building a personal brand or simply trying to take the next step in your career, this conversation is for you.---------------00:00 Why Starting a Business in Dubai Is Different01:05 From Engineering to Entrepreneurship03:25 Building a VR Startup During COVID05:49 Why Startups Changed Her Mindset06:16 Will AI Replace Corporate Jobs?09:00 Using AI in Work and Relationships13:54 Why Her First Startup Shut Down17:09 The Dubai Story Begins19:39 "I'm Gonna Make This My Home"20:01 Learning to Sell to High-Net-Worth Clients21:26 Moving to Dubai With €5,000 and No Job23:28 Why LinkedIn Didn't Work for Her24:02 The Networking Event That Changed Everything26:58 Finding a Job in Dubai Within 3 Weeks31:56 Why Networking Is So Powerful in Dubai34:49 Learning How to Close Big Deals40:36 How N3 Media Started43:19 Building a Media and AI Content Agency47:55 How Easy Is It to Start a Business in Dubai?52:19 Why I Started Karak Chat56:49 Why Dubai Changes Ambitious People58:46 The Future of N3 Media and AI01:01:01 The Secret to Building Client Relationships01:02:25 Fake It Till You Make It?01:03:58 Why You Should Build in Public01:05:32 Women in Marketing and Business01:08:36 Women in Dubai Real Estate01:13:15 The Biggest Lesson Dubai Taught Her01:14:50 What Does Success Mean?---------------Follow and Subscribe us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karakchat/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578557062520LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/karak-chat/---------------🎧 Stream Karak Chat episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0pOcL4TvLogMD8xoOKYQtS?si=BYZi7zQbRdq5DAWkqKt-_g🎧 Stream Karak Chat episodes on Apple podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/karak-chat/id1731995747

    Early ADHD Signs Most Parents Miss | Child Psychiatrist Explains | Dr. Maria Nusrat | KC31

    ADHD in children is often mistaken for laziness, bad behavior, or a lack of discipline. Dr. Maria Nusrat explains the early signs parents commonly miss, when to seek professional help, and how ADHD can affect learning, emotions, and family life.Dr. Maria breaks down what ADHD actually is, how it develops, and why screen time, sugar intake, and genetics all play a bigger role than most parents realize. We also get into the uncomfortable questions: is ADHD really increasing, or are we just noticing it more? Can parenting style affect it? And is there a real difference between how it's diagnosed across cultures?We talk about:* The real signs of ADHD in toddlers vs. normal childhood behavior* How screen time and sugar directly impact hyperactivity* Why consistency in parenting matters more than punishment* Mild vs. moderate vs. severe ADHD — and what each looks like* Whether ADHD can be genetically inherited* What happens if ADHD goes untreated into the teenage years* Medication vs. therapy — what actually worksWhether you're a parent, an educator, or just curious about child psychology — this conversation will change how you look at "hyperactive" kids.---------------Timestamp00:00 – Introduction01:18 – What is ADHD?03:42 – Common myths about ADHD06:15 – Why ADHD is often misunderstood09:48 – Early signs parents should look for13:20 – Hyperactivity vs normal childhood behavior17:56 – How ADHD affects school and friendships21:43 – Common mistakes parents make25:38 – When should you see a psychologist?29:11 – Why early diagnosis matters34:03 – Early ADHD symptoms in children aged 3–635:06 – When parents should seek professional help35:28 – Diet, screen time & daily routine tips for children with ADHD36:15 – Final thoughts---------------Follow and Subscribe us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karakchat/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578557062520LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/karak-chat/---------------🎧 Stream Karak Chat episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0pOcL4TvLogMD8xoOKYQtS?si=BYZi7zQbRdq5DAWkqKt-_g🎧 Stream Karak Chat episodes on Apple podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/karak-chat/id1731995747---------------🎙️ Subscribe to Karak Chat for conversations with experts, entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals sharing practical insights and real-life experiences over a cup of karak.---------------Follow Vishall onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishallboppana/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vishall.boppanaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bvishall/---------------#adhd #childpsychology #parentingtips #adhdawareness #karakchat #mentalhealthmatters #childdevelopment #adhdinchildren #screentime #parentingadvice #psychologypodcast #dubaipodcast #adhdparenting #neurodevelopmentaldisorder #raisingkids
