Episode 424
Freshly Grounded
👉 Money Budgeting Tool: https://money.freshlygrounded.com There’s a lot of noise right now around money. Side hustles. Passive income. Financial freedom. The promise that once you hit a certain number, life will finally feel lighter. But what if the real problem isn’t how much money you make… What if it’s how you relate to the money you already have? In this solo episode, Faisal speaks honestly about the missing conversation in Muslim spaces: money management, debt, discipline, and the emotional relationship we have with spending. This isn’t an anti-wealth episode. It’s not...

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...

Freshly Grounded
👉 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...

Episode 421: Hamza Tzortzis
Freshly Grounded
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...

Episode 420: The Airport Guy
Freshly Grounded
👉 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)...

Episode 419
Freshly Grounded
👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: 👉 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....

Episode 418
Freshly Grounded
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...

Episode 417: Abid Khan
Freshly Grounded
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...
