Show Notes
Faisal sits down with Hamza Tzortzis for one of those conversations that starts with "bro you lost weight?"… and ends up deep in ḥikmah, the algorithm, tadabbur, and why modern Muslims are quietly outsourcing their brains to AI. Hamza breaks down: why "1/3 food, 1/3 water, 1/3 air" is a limit, not a target how hunger can be reframed as your body repairing itself his "B + C + D" framework for living with intention (and keeping everything Allāh-centric) why short-form content can't be your whole dā'wah strategy how the algorithm reshapes your morals without you noticing why natural beauty and Qur'anic beauty are antidotes to ego + modernity why "scientific miracles in the Qur'an" can be a trap, and the more robust approach he built (and wrote a whole PhD on) what Sapience Institute is doing behind the scenes, and the launch of Sapience Academy to train 10,000 intellectual ambassadors by 2030 If you've ever felt like the internet is making everyone louder, harsher, and dumber… this one will recalibrate you. 👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live 👉HIGH-LEVEL SOFTWARE: https://buy.stripe.com/aFa7sLcUR5dUdcHeKScMM0H 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✉️ Contact Us • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.
More from Freshly Grounded
Faisal and Kaya start off debating why every man should learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, then somehow end up deep in childhood memories, a near-kidnapping at Butlins, the psychology of Disneyland surveillance, Go Away Green, secret bunkers, car seat upgrades, and Tesla's rocket-landing roadster.

This week Faisal and Kaya cover everything from petty road rage logic and mispronounced words that genuinely grind gears, to a genuinely reflective conversation about zooming out on the small stuff when the world reminds you what actually matters, plus the usual chaotic detours into supplements, confrontation, and growing older without meaning to.
One late Maghrib, a trivia question in the car park, and a story Faisal has been saving for a year. Then a Recon Padel update that includes the sentence "I've been in meetings about towels", the fiqh of pre-orders and selling what you don't own, and two murder trials that got way too interesting, including a doctor who fired his lawyers and defended himself. We end on cutthroat razors, the bin men, and whether recycling is real.
This one starts as a casual watch party for the Apple 2026 event, with Hanan, a five-time number-one Apple store queuer, giving live commentary on the iPhone Duo fold reveal, variable aperture cameras, the Gemini-powered Siri, iPhone Handoff, and whether Apple copied Samsung or the other way around. Then the food arrives, the event wraps, and the conversation goes somewhere much more interesting: what follows is a real, unscripted conversation about logic and faith, the verification chain of the Quran, why Islam requires no intermediary between you and God, and the question of whether divine rules and a personal relationship with God can coexist. If you want honest conversations about faith, tech, life, and everything in between, subscribe to Freshly Grounded.
Kaya and Faisal get into a new business Faisal has quietly launched, a second business idea Kaya is sitting on, and the usual relaxed chatter that started FG in the first place. Key topics covered:
