I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. Welcome to slow more. Welcome back. My guest today is Shazad Yunus, who is the founder of Muz, which you would absolutely know about if you're a Muslim. You would know nothing about if you were not.

It is the world's largest Muslim dating site if dating is the right word to use.

He used to be an investment banker

and then realized this is not what he wanted to do with his life.

And what a journey.

If you know the story of how business works in the background for some of those things that you end up having in your hand,

it would blow you away.

So excited to have a conversation about not only

how he ended up here, but why he ended up here

and how different some of our cultures are when it comes to love dating and romance.

So I hope you'll enjoy this conversation with Shazad Yunus.

Shazad, thank you for much for being here.

You're very welcome. I normally avoid talking specific. Shazah, thank you for much for being here.

I normally avoid talking specifically about any religion.

I talk a lot about spirituality, but I talk a lot about culture differences

and sort of if you want acceptance and inclusion and diversity.

And it is quite shocking for quite a few people when they realize the difference between the west and the east the Muslim community specifically when it comes to dating.

I heard you once say that Muslims don't date they marry.

Exactly that.
