Hello and welcome to the first episode of the Mo Show.
2
I've got my very, very good friend and first guest on the Mo Show, Mr. Mohamed Maharak.
3
Welcome.
4
Wow, where do we start?
5
I've known my guest for about 15 years
6
now we we met in Dubai in 2005 all of a sudden that's 15 years ago
7
but obviously into you you know you were born
8
and raised in in Jeddah
9
I believe your your father migrated from the south of Saudi Arabia Giza yes
10
he did how old we did you ever live in the south
11
or was it me or my dad you you know I was born and raised in Jeddah until 17,
12
graduated high school here, and then moved to the UAE to pursue university.
13
Do you look back at childhood over here and being a schoolboy fondly?
14
Is it something you miss?
15
My childhood was a very happy one.
16
I loved living in Jeddah.
17
I loved my friends.
18
Jeddah was much smaller back then you'd leave in the morning going to school
19
and you'd know every single car around
20
you who's in it who's going where I miss those days I'm glad I had
21
that experience did the changed completely from those days
22
but to sum it up really a very happy childhood
23
that's amazing two sisters two sisters II man at her yeah
24
and and then obviously when you moved your sisters also moved to the UAE with you?
25
So Iman was the first one.
26
My dad was very against letting his kids,
27
especially the female ones, to go abroad.
28
So to kind of soften the blow, my mom said, you know what, she can go to the UAE, it's very close.
29
So she paved the way.
30
I was one of the people that graduated in 2002.
31
So, you know, September 11 happened.
32
The States was on my mind.
33
It was very difficult back then.
34
So, AUS was a natural decision. So, Dubai.
35
Dubai was a good five, six, seven years for you.
36
Maybe a bit more.
37
Nine.
38
And then you...
39
Nine years.
40
Nine years.
41
That's quite some time.
42
Yeah.
43
and then you made the mother of all moves, didn't you?
44
You went to New York City.
45
Not New York.
46
I went to Barcelona.
47
Sorry, I jumped the gun.
48
You went to Barcelona first, a city that is so close to your heart.
49
Unreal.
50
I mean, you speak the damn language.
51
You know, when I first moved there, I've never been to Barcelona before.
52
Okay.
53
So I literally landed with my luggage moving there.
54
I went there to do my MBA, had the time of my life, had the opportunity to do my last semester in new york
55
and it's it has been always been a dream there's
56
so much energy uh and in
57
that city it's it's just unbelievable that's what a city is truly
58
i feel like there's a community from every country in in like the five boroughs uh yemenis okay
59
there's a there's an actual mandy shop the goat over rice
60
that we love here one has opened in new york city the happy yemeni is it
61
that i've been no way you did
62
or the smiling yemeni one of those one of those
63
you know it's moroccan has been popular
64
there for the longest time like it's a delicacy like one
65
of the best uh food carts uh is owned by egyptians yeah
66
i don't remember the name falafel brothers something i might have just made that up not falafel brothers something
67
and it's rice and chicken and local food.
68
Like a kushari.
69
Super good.
70
Yeah.
71
Super good.
72
Your mom is Egyptian, right?
73
No. My mom's half Turkish.
74
Half Turkish?
75
Why do I keep forgetting that?
76
I thought she was...
77
But she was born and raised in Egypt and Lebanon.
78
All right.
79
So she lived in both.
80
So you're not as a thoroughbred
81
Saudi as you portray yourself to be.
82
Do I portray that?
83
You look like...
84
I mean, if you were to Google Saudi man...
85
I look like that.
86
Absolutely.
87
Definitely.
88
Jizani man.
89
It's a strong bloodline.
90
Is it being the good -looking one?
91
Absolutely.
92
I'm just making sure.
93
Stunning.
94
Stunning.
95
You should see me.
96
Honestly, so basically I left when I was 17.
97
I came back, I think, at 28, 29.
98
So I did a lot of growing up abroad on my own.
99
You come, you see your parents and family and friends that live here from time to time.
100
when i moved back in 2013 it was like a big slap on the face.
101
I had my first panic attack.
102
Having moved back, that's when you experienced it.
103
You know, you move back, you're in your old room.
104
As a teenager, you're like, okay, so I traveled all over the world and it brings me back to the starting point.
105
So it's kind of discouraging at that point.
106
And I got anxiety, I went through depression, all these feelings.
107
But you know, you start realizing that it's actually not point zero.
108
It's starting something new.
109
And this is when I decided after living, I think two or three years with my parents again, that I needed to move out.
110
I needed to have my own physical space, my own mental space to start whether it's creating
111
or thinking outside of that childhood room that you've been in
112
because it can be extremely limiting to be back with your parents.
113
And, you know, parents, being parents, are going to tell you, you know, where are you going?
114
When are you coming back?
115
What are you going to do today?
116
Out of love.
117
But for you, it's like, yeah, don't control my space, my time.
118
Yeah, and I don't blame us because we've been, you know, on our own watch for 10 years and we got used to that.
119
And we've all experienced it.
120
I think, Shouf, and this is a huge generalization, but I think us as Arabs,
121
we start understanding responsibilities end of 20s,
122
beginning of 30s, as opposed to other nationalities where they take on responsibility very early on in life.
123
Much sooner.
124
We lived through our 20s having fun, you know, silver spoon.
125
And then we come to realize, okay, life is going to hit us hard.
126
And I think that's what happened to me.
127
So I told a friend that I'm coming to a podcast.
128
And he asked me, what's it about? Can you tell me? In a nutshell?
129
Yeah.
130
So the idea came in the middle of Corona and I was like,
131
okay, my day job consists of me working and thinking and doing everything in Arabic, which is not my strength.
132
English is my strength.
133
When I'm on my own time, I think in English.
134
I process things in English.
135
And I've been following a guy who I think is, you know, one of the smartest guys out there, very inspiring.
136
Don't say it.
137
It's not who you think I'm going to say.
138
Okay.
139
Naval.
140
Okay.
141
And Naval preaches that exercise your talents, create your own job, work for yourself,
142
stop building someone else's dream.
143
Beautiful.
144
So it just was a light bulb moment in my mind.
145
And the West and the East, basically everyone who's not from Saudi Arabia, has a different interpretation of our country.
146
and they only hear about us from a political level
147
and never from the man on the street yeah
148
i'm the man on the street in a language they can understand in an accent
149
that they're comfortable hearing and i realized that if
150
if i don't do it okay if i don't kind of bridge
151
that that gap or make
152
that introduction where i have people you know who are regular people
153
that go about their day you know they're running their own businesses launching their businesses um
154
and i want the world to get a chance to hear from them
155
you know in in english this is you know what we what's going on in saudi
156
and this is what we're up to for example
157
you have started a couple of businesses in the last two years um sarwa al -falina
158
which uh is nothing short of genius um you took a purchasing behavior that is so old school
159
and almost just not important to anyone.
160
You buy it as you would like a pen or a pencil, like anything will do, which is what you're wearing under what you're wearing.
161
A white t -shirt and paper -thin tracksuit bottom is probably the best way I can describe it.
162
We'd go to these places.
163
I'd go to a place like that every two or three years, all right, and I'll just get whatever's off the shelf.
164
And within a year, I'd have to replace it.
165
But I wouldn't replace it because I can't be bothered to go back to that place.
166
You digitalized a very old -school consumer behavior method of purchase.
167
Yeah.
168
I think I spoke a bit too much about it, but can you just chime in a little bit on that?
169
Sure.
170
So, you know, direct to consumer is.
171
is what the future is and what everyone is currently doing.
172
And if COVID taught us anything, you're going to purchase a lot online,
173
whether it's your groceries, your high -end clothes, whatever it might be.
174
The idea came two years ago.
175
I wanted to find something that's a passive buying behavior, which is Ciroalo Fanila.
176
It's something that you almost wear every day because under the thawb you wear silhoua vanilla.
177
I wanted to innovate a bit with it, make it look smarter because once you go back home,
178
you actually lounge in it and relax in it.
179
You're wearing it day and night really.
180
Yeah.
181
And what we currently have doesn't look very appealing.
182
So innovated with the material
183
and with the kind of structure of it to look more appealing and that's how the idea came about.
184
Created a very simple website for people to order from.
185
We don't have a store.
186
Other places have stores, and that's the majority of their businesses.
187
And, you know, they've transitioned online, but that's not what their bread and butter is based on.
188
And you're purely on, you know, no brick and mortar whatsoever, completely online.
189
Healthy Home is the second company that you launched a few years ago.
190
Yes, sir.
191
So Healthy Home is a sanitation business based out of Dubai.
192
It was a service I used to use when I was there.
193
And really, like both businesses, Sirwa La Fanila and Healthy Home, are things that I use or I would buy.
194
And I think it's very important.
195
I'm not trying to be a business guru.
196
But I think it's important if you go into a business, it's something that you would use to be able to sell it.
197
So it's a home sanitation and office sanitation business.
198
Created a joint venture with a company in Dubai.
199
Started operations in 2018.
200
Launched in Jeddah first.
201
It was really exciting.
202
Launched in Riyadh end of 2019.
203
And we're soon to launch in Shirgi, inshallah.
204
That's awesome.
205
Covering the three major regions of Saudi Arabia.
206
And there is an awareness.
207
There is growth, surely, in that people are becoming more aware perhaps even more hygienic after covid yeah
208
so it catapulted the business um because
209
when we first launched
210
there was a lot of educational part why would you bring a company to do your sanitation
211
you're cleaning the house but it doesn't mean you're dirty
212
or anything it's just an extra step
213
that you take after covet people are more receptive to the service
214
and i'm sure now when people think let's sanitize my home it's it's the healthy home
215
that comes to mind
216
because you've you know you've created a footprint for yourself that's two years old
217
so in a way covid um you know happened at quite an ideal time for you you have winners
218
and losers all right yeah in in anything the uh the online space you know pharmaceutical medicine all
219
that took off during covid the tourism
220
and transportation business kind of you know went to shit yeah food business is food business booming through the roof
221
it's uh it's it's really nice to see that there are some people
222
that have benefited from this amongst the chaos
223
and you know the disaster of it all honestly listen everyone got hurt uh in some way
224
or not including sanitation businesses
225
because still during covid you're not going to let strangers into your home correct to do the sanitation
226
so we all got hit hard um
227
but you know just as you you want to put a positive spin on it you come out
228
you know you go back and and fix your papers all over again
229
and see how you can become more efficient to run the business
230
and whoever survives survives whoever doesn't hopefully pivots into something that's profitable you've also suffered something
231
that i've suffered from
232
but i think you have suffered from it to a to a bigger degree being heart issues yeah um is
233
that something that stemmed from anxieties, panic attacks, or was that something that you've had for a longer time?
234
So I didn't know I had that issue until I got a panic attack.
235
And actually, I got it while traveling.
236
So when I came back, I went to see all these different doctors and what's going on, not understanding that, you know,
237
panic attacks could stem from stress and anxiety and depression and all of these things.
238
How did you interpret it when you had your first?
239
Did it feel like?
240
I felt like I was dying.
241
Dying, yeah.
242
Heart attack.
243
Scary.
244
You know, just for a second, just to deviate from that point, there are so many things that they don't teach us in school.
245
And one of them, I mean, you know, we can have another episode about what they should be teaching us in school and they don't.
246
But one thing that they don't teach us about, that we know nothing about until it smacks us in the face, is anxieties, is panic attacks.
247
You know, because if I knew what it what the sensation was like, I it probably my first one probably wouldn't have lasted as long.
248
I would have known how to tackle it.
249
I would have, you know, told myself some, you know, assuring things to to to recognize that this is not the end of my life.
250
This is something called a panic attack and it will pass.
251
And you'll actually feel quite good after it because the rush of adrenaline through your system just makes,
252
you know, you feel like you ran a marathon when it's all said and done.
253
But at the time, nobody can convince me that it didn't feel like death.
254
Yeah, yeah.
255
Mental health in general is something that's not spoken of.
256
But now a lot of people are speaking about it.
257
It's becoming an open subject.
258
Funny story.
259
When I first, you know, we're sitting with friends and I talk about like my anxiety,
260
what medication I took to deal with it and all of these things.
261
You know, you're talking with friends.
262
I got approached by two other people later.
263
I'm talking about one of the nights back in like six years ago.
264
Okay.
265
And two of my friends called me and they're like, you know what?
266
I'm actually going through the same thing.
267
Can you help me out?
268
And, you know, you would not know that they're going through that.
269
But once you speak about it and you normalize it and, you know, there is no shame in being human.
270
Absolutely not.
271
And you actually get a lot better when you do discuss it.
272
Women empowerment.
273
Super excited about that.
274
Ten years ago, it would have been borderline unheard of for women to be in the workplace.
275
No, just driving around and seeing that there are women driving around you is super exciting.
276
Them being an equal of us is groundbreaking.
277
They are equal.
278
And that's really...
279
But ten years ago, there was a stigma about men are here and women are here.
280
Today, that stigma is neutralized.
281
It's not even there and when it's all said and done from the progress that has happened in the past five years,
282
that's top for me in terms of real net gain,
283
women so the progress of where we're going as a country is really incredible who would have thought cinemas, women driving
284
just the changes that we saw and the pace
285
that we saw them at is nobody could have forced off I think this is what the country needed, a big shock, you know,
286
to bring it to where it is right now.
287
We're in a good place.
288
It's beautiful.
289
I like where we're going.
290
Yes, sir.
291
You, of course, have become a father before.
292
You actually became a father.
293
You are, you know, the ultimate father figure to your nephew.
294
Hamoudi.
295
And I take note of that because I have a son three years old,
296
a little younger than your nephew, Hamoudi and there's nothing quite fulfilling like supporting, being there, teaching.
297
It really puts us...
298
I mean, looking at you right now, there is a smile imprinted on your face that just screams.
299
It's a rewarding sensation.
300
He's hilarious, honestly speaking.
301
Such a good boy.
302
It's a difficult responsibility.
303
So my sister is a single mom.
304
She's bringing up a beautiful boy.
305
You know, you pitch in when you can pitch in.
306
But it's very fulfilling to see that, you know, you're helping raise a young person into someone that's funny,
307
someone that's, you know, independent in their personality.
308
It's just a really beautiful thing to see.
309
Yeah.
310
Really, really.
311
And we're more friends, you know.
312
He's six now?
313
He's seven.
314
He's seven.
315
He's almost eight.
316
So he's starting, he was supposed to start first grade,
317
I guess this um is it it's yeah six seven yeah first first grade these new systems
318
they call it ey i don't know what
319
and why eb no no yeah i'm not used to
320
that is he at the british school he's at noon
321
which is a swedish system
322
and all arabic all arabic uh some english yeah my aunt uh founded
323
that yeah yeah yeah super proud of her she's amazing and it's all in arabic uh old school Arabic.
324
So Hamoudi doesn't say I don't even know how to say it.
325
So it's proper classical Arabic.
326
What I love is that whenever there's an incident, an unfortunate incident, there was an unfortunate incident on London Bridge six or seven months ago.
327
When the news broke, you had a camera, You had like six or seven people with their phones filming what had happened.
328
News broke hashtag global before
329
Sky News or BBC made the scene for them to put their spin on what happened.
330
So it tells you that the individual media person, me and you on the street with our iPhones or Samsungs.
331
are much stronger than corporations, you know, news corps being there for them.
332
So there's something to say about what the future holds in terms of news coverage where everyone is a journalist.
333
Your phone is your weapon nowadays.
334
Anything bad happens, you take a video.
335
Anything good, you're taking a video.
336
I mean...
337
In our country, maybe not all countries, but in our country, social media really helped it.
338
It brought a sense of transparency to things, you know, anything that is good or bad will trend on Twitter.
339
I think we're the, are we top users?
340
User per person, we're definitely in the conversation.
341
I know you.
342
I don't have Twitter.
343
You don't?
344
I don't.
345
You've got to get on it.
346
If for no other reason, just check out what's being discussed, the top 10 topics being discussed every day.
347
That's the equivalent of opening the newspaper 20 years ago.
348
Yeah.
349
So just to have a pulse on what's happening.
350
Now, many people will say, avoid the news altogether
351
if it's important enough it'll find you
352
but I don't know maybe I I chase news too much I got to check what's happening two
353
or three times if I mean if your consumption doesn't affect your mental state
354
and all of
355
that then chase it fair play how do you feel about
356
marriage is something gonna do one day not at the moment no not on your mind no
357
when the times right yeah I'm happy but You're not saying no or yes.
358
I'm not saying no or yes.
359
Right now, today, no. I'm too busy with my job or my work.
360
I don't have capacity to do that right now.
361
Not mentally, not physically, not financially.
362
It'll take up a lot of your time.
363
Yeah, I don't think I have that.
364
Especially with kids.
365
I'm happy with my four cats.
366
They're already a handful.
367
Yeah, you're allowed four cats in our religion as you're allowed four wives.
368
Four wives.
369
Make sure you don't get that fifth.
370
We're in trouble.
371
That's a different story.
372
Looking back on a Mo Maharag at the age of 2021.
373
Oh, my God.
374
If you can, like, send a message, send a text or WhatsApp to him, that we had it back then, you know, a line or two,
375
what advice would you give your younger self of 10, 12 years ago?
376
um wow that's uh i know it's it's a heavy question i mean listen one one thing is
377
that everything works out really everything really does uh i would i would tell myself to actually
378
not worry too much because i'm a huge worrier
379
and i exaggerate things in my head you obsess about perfection yeah
380
so I would I would tell myself actually go
381
and work on yourself go see someone a therapist to start dealing with those issues at
382
that age therapies underrated yeah I go I go to therapy every Monday it's an incredible really that's something else
383
that should be discussed in schools along with the panic attacks anxiety the importance of compound interest
384
so so many things and financial acumen, saving, investing, not geography.
385
How to achieve financial freedom is discussed in any economics or business class that I've taken.
386
Super important.
387
You know, you'd have to go to Tony Robbins for that.
388
They don't teach you in school.
389
I know, I know how, you know, but he'll cover the basics for you to then make a decision that you want?
390
I'll recommend someone else.
391
Okay.
392
Al -Khass.
393
Al -Khass.
394
Yeah.
395
No, super important.
396
Definitely.
397
I mean, because therapy means not leaving things in.
398
And when you leave things in, that's when you eventually one day blow up.
399
Yeah.
400
In, in, and which translates to a panic attack.
401
Panic attack.
402
Yeah.
403
A crucial element.
404
Absolutely.
405
Anything you want to close with, Mo?
406
Wallahi, Shuf.
407
Thank you so much for including me.
408
It's my first podcast.
409

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
