Parenting Hacks I Faisal Choudhry I Freshly Grounded

Faisal was a guest on my podcast, but his energy felt so laid-back that he made me as chill as if there were no cameras rolling. 

I felt more like myself than ever - no overthinking, no dissecting every response. I was just present. That made me realise how I want to show up as a host.

Because here’s the domino effect: the guest feels at peace, the audience gets a more authentic conversation, and we bring more value to children’s lives. That’s a win on every level.

Another aspect I admired was how completely locked-in he is on his faith. It spills into every part of his life. You see it in the way he talks, the way he acts, and every decision he makes. That’s the standard I want to hit: living my beliefs so fully that people can feel it. If you’re looking for a blueprint on how to align your life with your principles - this is it.

Bottom line, you’ve set a bar for how I want to show up: as a Muslim, a parent, and a leader. I appreciate the time, the insight, and the example you’ve given. 

Let’s keep raising the game brother.
