Some podcast conversations feel like interviews.
Others feel like two operators comparing notes.

While I’ve been out in Dubai, I had the pleasure of featuring live and in person on the Juris podcast.

Huge credit to Ahmed Alnagar.

Ahmed is the host of Juris, which has grown into the leading legal podcast in the MENA region.
He’s also the founder of the Emirates Legal Network, now connecting 600+ lawyers, and he runs his own law firm alongside it all.

What stood out most wasn’t the scale.
It was the substance.

We spoke openly about:
	•	My background and career journey
	•	Legal tech and AI and where the real signal is
	•	Entrepreneurship inside and outside law
	•	Legal recruitment and market shifts
	•	Personal branding and why community compounds over time

There was an immediate connection too.
We’ve both come from legal family backgrounds.
Different paths, similar values, shared respect for reputation, relationships, and doing things properly.

Ahmed is a genuinely kind, humble guy with great energy.
A builder, not a broadcaster.
Exactly the sort of person you want shaping conversations in the region.

I really enjoyed the experience and the quality of the discussion.
Looking forward to sharing the full episode when it’s out very soon.
