A pioneering Saudi athlete who defied expectations by qualifying to represent Saudi Arabia in cross-country skiing at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, becoming the first Saudi male skier to do so.
Since his international skiing debut in 2021, he has competed in multiple FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, including Planica 2023 and Trondheim 2025. Despite training in a city with no snow, Rakan’s daily regimen built on running, swimming, cycling, and hill climbs, reflects a relentless commitment to excellence that has propelled him from the desert to the world stage.
Away from the snow, Rakan is also a decorated rower, inspired by his cousin Hussein Alireza, who competed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, has long been driven by a passion for gastronomy, travel, and hospitality. Since joining the Michelin Group in 2003, he has played a pivotal role in expanding the Guide globally—launching its first Asian edition in Tokyo in 2007 and overseeing the creation of 12 more international Guides.
His deep involvement with inspectors and unwavering commitment to the Guide’s core values—expertise, integrity, and the celebration of culinary talent—have been central to its continued evolution, especially as he spearheaded its digital transformation.
On this episode, Gwendal shares Michelin’s vision and goals for Saudi Arabia: to help drive economic growth and raise culinary standards by recognizing excellence in the Kingdom’s vibrant food scene. He discusses the Guide’s commitment to showcasing local talent and authentic Saudi food culture, while upholding the same rigorous inspection methodology used worldwide.
We also explore how Michelin is leveraging media and strategic partnerships to create long-term cultural and economic impact in the region—ensuring that this isn’t just about stars on a plate, but a broader story of growth, recognition, and global connection.
A big thanks to Bab Samhan hotel in Diriyah for allowing us to shoot this episode in their beautiful new property and another big thank you to Mayda Badr who leads the Culinary Arts Commission in Saudi Arabia for their trust in us to shoot with such a remarkable individual.

A returning guest on the podcast, Ziyad “Zizo” Almaayouf is Saudi Arabia’s first professional boxer undefeated, unapologetically proud, and a GQ Middle East cover star representing a bold new generation.
Born in New York City on July 2, 2000, Zizo took up boxing at age 11 and overcame early challenges due to limited training resources. At 19, he moved to Los Angeles to train under legendary coach Buddy McGirt, fully committing to his craft and his country.
On August 20, 2022, Zizo made history with a first-round knockout in his professional debut becoming the first Saudi to win a pro boxing match. Now 8–0, he’s more than a rising star; he’s a symbol of Saudi excellence, blending world-class athleticism with the ambition of Vision 2030.
Guided by elite mentorship and backed by the Kingdom’s leadership and growing investment in sports, Zizo steps into the ring not just to win, but to inspire. He represents the next generation of Saudi athletes: disciplined, global, and driven to lead. Outside the ring, Zizo continues to shape Saudi Arabia’s evolving sports and entertainment landscape, paving the way for future champions across the region.

Mustafa is an author, historian, and creator of the acclaimed ‘Beyond Bilal’ lecture series, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, identity, and the often-overlooked contributions of Black-Muslims throughout history.
Mustafa shares the personal story of how his journey into Islamic scholarship began, and what inspired his mission to shed light on the rich, global legacy of Black-Muslim communities—from West Africa to the Americas. He opens up about how his own identity has shaped his scholarship and activism, and how he navigates the tension between Western academia and traditional Islamic knowledge systems.We dive into his latest book, ‘Islam and the Making of the Modern World’, discussing the key takeaways he hopes readers will walk away with, particularly around Islam’s impact on science, philosophy, and global civilisation.
Mustafa reflects on the power of storytelling as a tool for education and transformation, and why he believes it’s essential for reaching younger generations of Muslims seeking to reclaim a sense of pride in their heritage.We also unpack deeper philosophical questions on whether or not suffering is necessary for growth in today’s world.
Finally, we touch on the marginalization of Black-Muslims in Islamic history, the steps needed to reframe that narrative, and the unifying spiritual threads that connect diverse communities around the globe.With insights both intimate and intellectual, this episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience, beauty, and global significance of Black-Muslim contributions to our shared story.

Abdullah, an American citizen, was arrested in 2003 under the federal material witness statute, which permits the government to detain individuals with crucial testimony in a criminal case if they might flee. Though never charged with a crime, he was held in high-security detention for 16 days and faced court-ordered restrictions for another 15 months. Believing his detention was unlawful, Abdullah sued then–U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, claiming his arrest violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. He has since settled in Saudi Arabia, where he’s lived for over a decade.
