Faisal and Kaya are joined by Simon "Simon Says Squat" for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation that starts with AI and content… and ends up somewhere much deeper.

They talk honestly about:

- how AI should be used as a tool, not a replacement for thinking
- why doom-scrolling rewires your brain towards stress and negativity
- parenting in the age of information overload
- raising children with a strong Muslim identity without forcing it
- Qur'an time with kids: when to be gentle, when to be firm
- habits vs environments (and why forcing rarely works)
- preparing for Ramadan without burnout or guilt
why doing the basics consistently beats chasing extremes
- how forgetting death makes us careless, and remembering it puts everything back in place

Simon also opens up about how the passing of Lats deeply affected him, forcing real self-reflection about purpose, legacy, and how we're actually living.
