E66: How companies make money in unexpected ways
Today we're exploring the topic of business models. People are making money in increasingly novel ways. Google is essentially a marketing company (makes money from ads), Dropbox has a freemium model (use it for free to a limit), Amazon is in many ways a data company.
How should you be thinking about the companies around you, and about your own business too? Are you being innovative enough with your monetisation model?
Listen in as we dig deep!

E61: My life in Islamic Finance - law firm partner Mohammed Paracha
Many moons ago, in typical Ibrahim fashion, he randomly reached out to a bunch of top lawyers asking for work experience. Those of you in the industry will know that law firms don't take people like this, they have formal applications. But one man responded and gave Ibrahim his first taste of law - and that man is Mohammed Paracha!
Mohammed is a distinguished lawyer, partner at the global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. He is based in Dubai and heads up NRF's Islamic Finance practice for the Middle East and Africa.
In this episode, Ibrahim goes on Mohammed's journey with him. Listen on for a fascinating insight!

We analyse and run through some really easy changes that they could implement in order to become more profitable. Ibrahim also amusingly confuses Baber Ahmed for Babar Azam the Pakistan cricketer- for which he apologises! Want us to take a look at your business? Drop us an email!

E58: Thought Experiment - plonked in London with £5
This episode felt like a throwback to our uni days! We had the rare pleasure of being in the same room whilst recording a podcast and so we conducted a thought experiment like we used to back in the day. More particularly, a thought experiment on how would we approach being plonked in London with £5 to our name.
What would the path to success look like?
Get in touch with your thoughts, we may do a follow up if we get enough!
