Sam Burr, better known as Arabic with Sam, drops in for a heart-to-heart on language, sincerity, and building a mission that actually serves people. We get into his new program Arabic Reconnect, why he refuses “white guy surprises people in their language” content, and his blended method for learning Arabic: science for Qur’ān precision + play for real-world speaking.
We also talk Umrah with the family (and why the Ḥaram is more visual than you think), raising kids with British Sign Language, losing 9kg with sleep + black coffee + sane food, Somali life (yes, camel milk), and finding clarity as a creator.

| 0:30.4 | head, which is a very high bar, a very calming, very beautiful person, but al-a-law |
| 0:35.4 | Is you expect me to be taller? |
| 0:36.6 | No, not tall, no, not too. No, not. Did you expect me to be taller? No, not tall. |

| 0:42.1 | When I meet some brothers from YouTube, |
| 0:43.9 | for some reason, I have an assumption of, like, how big they are. Some people are very like domineering maybe or whatever. |
