    "If You Dwell on the Past, You'll Stay There" — Ziyad Almaayouf | Saudi Pro Boxer

    A returning guest on the podcast, Ziyad “Zizo” Almaayouf is Saudi Arabia’s first professional boxer undefeated, unapologetically proud, and a GQ Middle East cover star representing a bold new generation.   Born in New York City on July 2, 2000, Zizo took up boxing at age 11 and overcame early challenges due to limited training resources. At 19, he moved to Los Angeles to train under legendary coach Buddy McGirt, fully committing to his craft and his country.    On August 20, 2022, Zizo made history with a first-round knockout in his professional debut becoming the first Saudi to win a pro boxing match. Now 8–0, he’s more than a rising star; he’s a symbol of Saudi excellence, blending world-class athleticism with the ambition of Vision 2030.   Guided by elite mentorship and backed by the Kingdom’s leadership and growing investment in sports, Zizo steps into the ring not just to win, but to inspire. He represents the next generation of Saudi athletes: disciplined, global, and driven to lead. Outside the ring, Zizo continues to shape Saudi Arabia’s evolving sports and entertainment landscape, paving the way for future champions across the region.   0:00 Intro 3:12 Vision 2030’s role in boxing 6:14 Facing top-ranked opponents 7:51 Mindset: focus on next win 10:04 Impact on global boxing 12:31 Reviving boxing’s golden era 15:00 Saudi intervention in sport 18:13 Why I chose boxing 26:23 Saudi hospitality 32:35 Power of positive self-talk 37:54 Reframing negative thoughts 44:16 What true patience means 59:08 Lessons from my father 1:02:04 Viewing pressure as privilege 1:05:31 Defining success and legacy

    Christoph is the CEO of IWC Schaffhausen, where he blends creative design sensibility with strategic leadership to steer one of Switzerland’s premier luxury watchmakers. Originally from Germany, he studied interior design in England and Switzerland before first collaborating with IWC in 2006 to design its museum.   As CEO, Christophe has focused on honoring IWC’s heritage while driving innovation and sustainability, and he has overseen the brand’s growing digital presence. His tenure has seen significant achievements, including IWC winning the prestigious “Aiguille d’Or” at the 2024 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Outside the world of watchmaking, Christoph is passionate about cycling and architecture—interests that reflect the same precision and design ethos central to IWC’s philosophy.     On this episode, Mo dives into an honest and thought-provoking conversation with Christoph, exploring where he envisions taking IWC next, what challenges weigh on his mind, and whether he feels truly fulfilled at this point in his life.   Presented By KAFD App https://apple.co/4e9BdU0 Website https://bit.ly/3YktQUI Instagram https://bit.ly/3YFpWGn X https://bit.ly/3LMJOzi LinkedIn https://bit.ly/3A0b2QJ       Saudia Website https://bit.ly/495n6fB Instagram https://bit.ly/3UgTTdA X https://bit.ly/4beIQY8       Whoop https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/     Noon Instagram https://bit.ly/3XRScUY Website https://bit.ly/44lnA1S Whoop https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/       Pizza Hut Jeddah Instagram https://bit.ly/3T87mjt Website http://bit.ly/3UtnkWq       Tim Hortons Instagram https://bit.ly/3UQDk6u X http://bit.ly/3AgbAPi Website http://bit.ly/3LgUres     IWC Instagram https://bit.ly/44dxbFW Website https://bit.ly/43K8JMk     Credits Christoph Grainger-Herr | Guest Mo Islam | Host Founder Ryan Ismail | COO Faisal Nejaim | Show Manager Gregoris Kalai | Head of Strategy Tito | Creative Director Youssef Hamieh | Production Manager Powered by "STUCK?" | Translation

    “Fight for your happiness, or the world will crush you” -Mustafa Briggs 150

    Mustafa is an author, historian, and creator of the acclaimed ‘Beyond Bilal’ lecture series, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, identity, and the often-overlooked contributions of Black-Muslims throughout history.   Mustafa shares the personal story of how his journey into Islamic scholarship began, and what inspired his mission to shed light on the rich, global legacy of Black-Muslim communities—from West Africa to the Americas. He opens up about how his own identity has shaped his scholarship and activism, and how he navigates the tension between Western academia and traditional Islamic knowledge systems. We dive into his latest book, ‘Islam and the Making of the Modern World’, discussing the key takeaways he hopes readers will walk away with, particularly around Islam’s impact on science, philosophy, and global civilisation.   Mustafa reflects on the power of storytelling as a tool for education and transformation, and why he believes it’s essential for reaching younger generations of Muslims seeking to reclaim a sense of pride in their heritage. We also unpack deeper philosophical questions on whether or not suffering is necessary for growth in today’s world.   Finally, we touch on the marginalization of Black-Muslims in Islamic history, the steps needed to reframe that narrative, and the unifying spiritual threads that connect diverse communities around the globe. With insights both intimate and intellectual, this episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience, beauty, and global significance of Black-Muslim contributions to our shared story.   Mustafa Briggs Instagram https://bit.ly/4j7gRfL Byond Bilal on Amazon https://bit.ly/4jYblgO   Presented By KAFD App https://apple.co/4e9BdU0 Website https://bit.ly/3YktQUI Instagram https://bit.ly/3YFpWGn X https://bit.ly/3LMJOzi LinkedIn https://bit.ly/3A0b2QJ Saudia Website https://bit.ly/495n6fB Instagram https://bit.ly/3UgTTdA X https://bit.ly/4beIQY8   Whoop https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/   Noon Instagram https://bit.ly/3XRScUY Website https://bit.ly/44lnA1S Whoop https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/   Pizza Hut Jeddah Instagram https://bit.ly/3T87mjt Website http://bit.ly/3UtnkWq   Tim Hortons Instagram https://bit.ly/3UQDk6u X http://bit.ly/3AgbAPi Website http://bit.ly/3LgUres IWC Instagram https://bit.ly/44dxbFW Website https://bit.ly/43K8JMk   Credits Mustafa Briggs | Guest Mo Islam | Host Founder Ryan Ismail | COO Faisal Nejaim | Show Manager Gregoris Kalai | Head of Strategy Tito | Creative Director Youssef Hamieh | Production Manager Powered by "STUCK?" | Translation

    "I Had A Gun Pulled To My Head" -Abdullah Al-Kidd 146 | 9/11 Arrest, Prison & Gangs of Los Angeles

    Abdullah, an American citizen, was arrested in 2003 under the federal material witness statute, which permits the government to detain individuals with crucial testimony in a criminal case if they might flee. Though never charged with a crime, he was held in high-security detention for 16 days and faced court-ordered restrictions for another 15 months. Believing his detention was unlawful, Abdullah sued then–U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, claiming his arrest violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. He has since settled in Saudi Arabia, where he’s lived for over a decade. 0:00 Intro 2:18 Gunpoint at at 14 4:54 LA Gangs 8:29 Eldest Child Pressure 13:41 SurvivingtheStreets 16:55 Gangs, Drugs and Rap 21:09 CripsOriginStory 24:07 Freemasonry VS Islam 31:04 9/11Arrest 39:40 Lawsuit Exile4 5:00 Law Reform Bias 51:35 Yemen 59:00 Prison and Aryan Brotherhood 1:05:04 PTSD and Purpose 1:18:48 Classism and Legacy
