I sat down with Arfah Farooq - co-founder of Muslim Tech Fest (MTF) - a few days after the successful conference which took place in London on 21st June.
We reflected on the past, present and future of MTF. We also discussed the latest developments in AI, handling ADHD, as well as parenting opportunities and challenges in relation to tech.
Overall, loads of great insights from Arfah in this 10th episode of In Good Faith. Enjoy!
