    Stretch Knowledge #15 - Shahruz Mullajonov

    From the historic city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, to the fast-paced world of American trucking, today’s guest shares an inspiring journey of grit and determination. Arriving in the U.S. in 2012, he chose to build his path from scratch—refusing financial help from his father to truly test and strengthen himself. That decision shaped his work ethic and fueled his success. Now a proud partner at BOGG Transportation, he manages a fleet of over 30 trucks with a dedicated team he built from the ground up. His story is a powerful reminder that real success comes from perseverance, self-belief, and the willingness to hustle for your dream.

    Stretch Knowledge #13 - Bahodir Sharafov

    Today’s episode is something truly special. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with a veteran journalist whose career spans over 30 years — a name that’s especially well known in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. From hosting on TKS and STV, to reporting for Axborot in Tashkent, this guest has seen the evolution of Uzbek journalism firsthand. In fact, he’s interviewed none other than the first President of Uzbekistan seven times — a remarkable achievement by any standard. Now based in the United States for the past five years, he continues to stay connected with his roots by creating content for the "Vatan Community of Uzbekistan" Philadelphia division, sharing stories and voices that matter. Get ready for an insightful, nostalgic, and inspiring conversation with a man whose voice helped shape the news for generations. UZB: Bugungi epizodimiz haqiqatan ham o‘ziga xos. Men 30 yildan ortiq tajribaga ega bo‘lgan, ayniqsa, Samarqandda keng tanilgan faxriy jurnalist Bahodir aka Sharafov bilan suhbatlashish baxtiga muyassar bo‘ldim. TKS va STV telekanallarida boshlovchilik qilgan, Toshkentdagi “Axborot” dasturida faoliyat yuritgan Bahodir aka o‘zbek jurnalistikasi taraqqiyotiga bevosita guvoh bo‘lgan inson. Qolaversa, Bahodir aka O‘zbekistonning birinchi Prezidenti bilan yetti marotaba suhbat qilganlar — bu ulkan yutuq. So‘nggi besh yil davomida AQShda istiqomat qilayotgan bo‘lsalar-da, hanuz Vatan bilan bog‘lanib yashaydilar — xususan, Filadelfiyadagi "Vatan Community of Uzbekistan" bo‘limi orqali jamiyat uchun ahamiyatli bo‘lgan video dasturlar yaratishda davom etmoqdalar. Oldingizda o‘tmishni eslatadigan, chuqur fikrlarga boy va ilhomlantiruvchi suhbat turibdi — necha avlodlar yangiliklarini shakllantirgan ovoz egasi Bahodir aka Sharafov.
