Charles Hallab, President and CEO of the US-Saudi Business Council, joins The TWENTY30 co-hosts Lucien Zeigler and Dr. Hanaa Almoaibed to react to the impact and importance of U.S. President Trump's recent visit to Saudi Arabia. Hallab, who recently became President and CEO of the longstanding organization after a lifelong career (and portion of his childhood!) in Saudi Arabia and in U.S.-Saudi business relations, characterizes the recent visit as more than a reset in relations, emphasizing the excitement and energy among young Saudis and the opportunities for US companies. The co-hosts speak with Charles about the durability of the new paradigm, how the real work is ready to be done in strengthening the relationship, and the ongoing challenges with updating perceptions about the Kingdom and the need for better storytelling to convey the progress being made under Vision 2030. Charles, a lawyer by trade, also discusses the impact of the legal reforms that have made doing business in Saudi Arabia more accessible.    Before the interview with Charles Hallab, the co-hosts catch up on recent travel to Saudi Arabia, where both hosts were over the past two weeks. Then the hosts get to the latest news on Saudi Arabia, including Franklin Templeton is ramping up its presence in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia launches TOURISE to reshape global tourism, Saudi Arabia accelerates auto industry localization, and the iconic American rock band Guns and Roses performs in Saudi Arabia.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Vladimir Baranov, CEO and founder of Human Interfaces.Vladimir had early exposure to the turbulent Russian business climate, which made him cautious about entrepreneurship, but his experiences in the U.S. gradually changed his perspective. In college, he created a textbook-sharing platform, an early taste of entrepreneurship, though without charging users. Later, he ventured into finance, spending over a decade in capital markets before transitioning to startups. His first major success came when he co-founded a wealth management tech company, which scaled to 150 employees and was eventually acquired by Franklin Templeton. This experience fueled his passion for entrepreneurship and led him to explore the aerospace industry, despite having no formal background in it.After helping grow an aerospace startup and successfully launching multiple satellites, Vladimir felt the pull toward something broader—coaching. Recognizing that many engineers and scientists struggled to bring their innovations to market, he founded Human Interfaces to help bridge that gap. Now a business coach, Vladimir focuses on empowering tech founders, engineers, and scientists to build successful companies. His marketing approach is continually evolving, relying on a mix of in-person networking, coaching platforms, LinkedIn outreach, and SEO strategies. Check out this episode of The First Customer where Vladimir Baranov ensures his message resonates with the right audience by blending his experience in aerospace, finance, and business coaching to help tech founders succeed! Guest Info:Human Interfaceshttps://www.humaninterfaces.co/Vladimir Baranov's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirbaranov/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/
