Customer Reviews
Beautiful and inspiring stories
I love how this show takes you in a journey. Chirag interviews interesting people and extracts great insights from the conversations. Very enjoyable especially if you’re interested in the UAE’s entrepreneurship scene.
Well Done and Interesting
The audio is great and the interviews are so interesting! The host is a great interviewer. Can’t wait to hear more.
Ever wanna wake up someplace else?
Podcasting gives me the opportunity to wake up and enjoy new places, people, ideas and items while I’m driving & doing chores. One of the first episodes talks with the host & producer and I’m paraphrasing but the point was... podcast is an art and the voices are telling stories and more. The voice holds so much and each episode provides me with a sense of welcome and excitement to hear more. Subscribed :)
