No Degree, No Problem – How Kaya Built His Own Success
"Perfection is only for Allah”.
Kaya Ismail isn’t just another entrepreneur. He’s one of the most self-aware and articulate guys I’ve had the pleasure of sitting down with. We covered everything - from his early days in London to building businesses in Dubai, from fatherhood to faith, from discipline to delayed gratification.
It was eye-opening to sit down with someone from a completely different culture and background, hearing firsthand the unique struggles he faced and how they shaped him. Conversations like this remind me that while our experiences may differ, the lessons we take from them are often universal.
Meet Kaya:
Kaya runs Wordify, a digital marketing agency, and Waasiya, which provides shariah-compliant payment plans for Dubai real estate.
