E56: NEW SERIES: BUSINESS AGONY AUNTS - this week we're analysing Halwa shops

We're launching a new series of podcasts (switching to 2 a week, with the second one being this new series). It's called Business Agony Aunts (the aunts being Ibrahim & Mohsin...). Each week the plan is that we look at a particular business or industry and analyse it - thinking about how it can scale in the modern era.  We had fun chatting about halwa shops and how they might achieve that. Hopefully we can all pick up something that we can translate into our own businesses and lives. Because this is such a new format please do take the time to email us to let us know what you think! Any feedback or critiques are greatly welcomed. **The Millionaire Muslim podcast is supported by Euro Quality Lambs.

E52: In-depth tour of an abattoir: a groundbreaking perspective

We are so excited to bring you this episode! It's a genuinely groundbreaking episode where we've been given all access into Europe's largest Muslim-owned lamb abattoir in Europe. This is an interview where you'll literally be taken into the abattoir with Rizvan, our host at the abattoir. We also get a fascinating insight into what it takes to lead a £60m turnover business and some key business lessons. A fascinating insight too into the operational knowledge behind the whole stun vs non-stun debate (EQL actually offer both HMC and non-HMC) from Rizvan (who, as well as being the managing director of the abattoir, has a Masters in Meat Science!). An absolute must listen!

E48: The Secret Investment Savvy Investors Make Millions From

We're talking in this episode about the asset class savvy investors are making millions from - startup investing. The likes of Uber, Netflix and thousands of startups you've never heard of have made overnight millionaires from people who took a £5k punt at some point in an early-stage company (probably little more than an idea at that point!). We discuss: - what is startup investing and why it's such a big deal - why are we even interested in this (not just the money) - how many startups you should invest in and how you can de-risk your investment to a fraction of what you invest using tax breaks - demystifying startup terminology (what on earth is a Series C round?!) - why valuation is not of primary concern in startup investing - what we look for in a startup (and why 95% of the deals we get never make it through) - where you can find those great startups (hint: not on public platforms like Seedrs!)
