Summary
Today's podcast is a fireside chat I did with the Telfaz11 team during my last visit to Saudi Arabia last year. I share my two cents on the importance of paying attention to pop culture, and how to come up with new ideas while still following trends and perfectionism. I also answered some questions like how to deal with FOMO and much more. Hope you enjoy it!
