In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, Dr. Andi Simon welcomes a remarkable young entrepreneur, Sana Ali, whose story is as surprising as it is inspiring. Just twelve years old, Sana has already built a reputation as a digital strategist helping coaches, consultants, and creators transform their online engagement into real business results. Her journey from Karachi, Pakistan, to an international podcast platform is a testament to curiosity, resilience, and the entrepreneurial spirit. A Journey Sparked by Curiosity and Encouragement Sana's story began in 2023, when she was only ten years old. With encouragement from her mother, she shifted her time away from passive entertainment toward learning coding and building websites. Very quickly, she not only mastered skills far beyond her years but began to attract attention from adults—some twice or three times her age—who turned to her for guidance. This early success underscored a truth that continues to shape her path: ambition and focus are not limited by age. Her initial LinkedIn presence grew rapidly, amassing thousands of followers. But because she was underage, the platform eventually banned her account. Instead of giving up, Sana started again, this time with a clearer vision. Rather than focusing only on coding, she saw an opportunity to address a widespread challenge: many professionals were generating likes, comments, and followers on LinkedIn, yet struggling to convert that visibility into paying clients. Sana stepped into this gap with a simple but powerful insight—engagement is nice, but clients are better. Sana Ali is Building a New Model on LinkedIn With her fresh approach, Sana began optimizing LinkedIn funnels. She mapped out the journey from a cold prospect to a high-ticket client, showing coaches and consultants how to stop chasing vanity metrics and start building sustainable revenue. One of her earliest breakthroughs came when a skeptical prospect realized that, despite thousands of followers, they were making no money. Sana provided strategic adjustments and, to their surprise, turned the engagement into paying clients. That success story became the first of many case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of her methods. In conversation with Andi, Sana explained how the tactics of outreach have shifted over the years. Cold pitches and generic compliments that may have worked in 2015 no longer resonate in 2025. Instead, the new “currency” is trust. Building trust requires empathy, genuine compliments, thoughtful questions, and adding value without immediately pushing for a sale. For Sana, this approach is not theoretical—it is the lived experience of someone whose age initially raised doubts, yet whose results quickly silenced them. The Core of Her Success: Trust and Empathy Throughout the discussion, Sana emphasized that trust is the foundation of client relationships today. Prospects are savvy, often wary of sales pitches, and increasingly skeptical about whether they are interacting with a real human or an AI bot. Sana has mastered the art of demonstrating authenticity—through personalized conversations, empathy for her clients' situations, and valuable insights freely given before any sales conversation. One example she shared involved a client who joined a call while ill. Instead of pressing forward, Sana suggested rescheduling, showing genuine care for the individual. That small act of empathy built immediate trust, leading to a long-term client relationship. Stories like these highlight her maturity, compassion, and business acumen far beyond her years. Lessons for Entrepreneurs of All Ages The episode closes with reflections on Sana's journey and her advice for young entrepreneurs: age should never be seen as a limitation. Whether learning coding at ten or advising adults on LinkedIn strategy by twelve, she has proven that commitment and ambition can accelerate success at any stage of life. For her, the choice to spend time building a business rather than playing video games has opened doors to opportunities she once could not have imagined. For listeners of On the Brink, this episode is more than an inspiring story—it is a reminder of how quickly the business landscape is changing, and how younger generations are not just adapting but leading. Sana Ali embodies the entrepreneurial mindset: seeing opportunities, embracing change, and building trust in a world where trust itself has become the most valuable commodity.

"If not Dams, then what is the solution?"The solution is to let the river flow.If you want reservoirs, you can build natural lakes. If you want electricity, you can aim for smaller manageable run of the river projects.The Sindhu darya is what gives this entire region its identity, you are not mightier than the Indus, in your hubris, and your infinite greed, do not think of the Indus as another plot of land that you can build a housing society on.Our overlords never think of the people when they plan projects, they just look at the potential dollars they will make.Imagine if the mighty Indus flowed throughout Pakistan, Karachi had two rivers all year round. The water was clean enough for people to fish and sustain themselves all along the river from Kashmir to Karachi.Ravi, Chenab, and the Indus had wetlands and forests along the way that could become tourist attractions.Our urban centers would not turn into gas chambers every smog season. Our rivers could breath, our cities could breath, and our people could breath.Imagine being able to take a boat from Karachi to Lahore. Instead we block all the natural drainage to build housing societies then spend billions putting in drainage, and the societies still end up getting flooded.Our cities are concrete jungles slowly killing us all.We are the people of the Indus, you have erased our history, and now you are trying to erase the Indus altogether. This is unacceptable. Let the rivers flow!

One of the underreported casualties of any war is culinary culture. It's not just family recipes that might get lost; when you recognize the importance of food to our essential humanity, you can quickly see how the loss of culinary traditions can lead to an erasure of cultural and identity. This is the terrain author and human rights investigator Michael Shaikh explores in his new book The Last Sweet Bite: Stories and Recipes of Culinary Heritage Lost and Found.rnrnRaised in Cleveland and Karachi, Shaikh has worked for nearly two decades in the field of human rights, spending extensive time in conflict zones mostly in Asia and the Middle East. Shaikh's book explores the impact of conflict on the most essential of human traditions--what we cook and how we nourish ourselves and our souls. From a refugee camp in Bangladesh to the legacy of Nazism and Soviet rule on Eastern European traditions, Shaikh unpacks what might have been lost if not for the resilience of diasporic communities and the amazing activists, home cooks, and chefs who have kept traditions alive.rnrnJoin us for a conversation moderated by chef and Marine Corps veteran Ben Bebenroth of the nonprofit Spice Field Kitchen.

Who is Karachi's hero?#78Years #78Heroes

Shehnaz Soni was born and raised in a patriarchal culture in Karachi, Pakistan, where women are groomed, expected to be wives and homemakers, and not even encouraged to go to school. From day one, she was asked to fit inside a box, to make her feel trapped like a genie in a bottle. Despite being raised in a culturally imposed cage, she followed her inner voice. She pushed over one barrier after another in her determination to complete her high school education as the valedictorian and continued engineering at the University of Karachi.At the age of 21, Shehnaz's first transformational journey brought her to Los Angeles via an arranged marriage where the path of challenging lessons emotionally charged experiences, and roadblocks including cultural/language barriers began. As she tried to acculturate to her new life. Shehnaz reawakened her trailblazer instincts and chose the path of transformation.She thinks she is living the adventurous life of a Star Trek Captain where Science Fiction intersects Reality. Her current position as an Aerospace Engineer for NASA, combined with her passion to serve humanity with her ancient wisdom enables her to converge science with innovative technology to honor our multidimensional existence. Shehnaz has worked as a rocket scientist for both Boeing and NASA. She is currently working with NASA as a Senior System Engineer for the Artemis Project. She and her cutting-edge team are working towards the unprecedented Human Landing System. When ready to launch, this system will bridge mankind with a long-term presence on the Moon and, ultimately, on Mars.Shehnaz is the author of "The Quantum Being: A Self-Sustaining and Magnificent Human Craft" seamlessly weaves together science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom. She begins by introducing the mind-bending concepts of quantum mechanics, where atoms dance and particles defy conventional rules. She skillfully translates these scientific notions into relatable and accessible ideas, making the quantum world accessible even to novice readers. With a touch of humor and wit, she invites readers into the quantum playground, where endless possibilities await.As we undertake the daunting task of transformation, we embark on the journey that will ultimately become habitual, automatic, and effortless – akin to a rocket leaving the Earth. At first, the initial launch requires enormous power, then less and less as it leaves the Earth's gravitational field. Finally, the rocket moves through space under its own momentum breaking all the barriers beyond imagination to traverse new worlds.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In Karachi, Pakistan's economic capital and largest city, fear has become a commodity. In 2024, Forbes Advisor ranked Karachi as the second-most dangerous city in the world for tourists. Due to the ineffectiveness of law enforcement agencies in curbing this violence, private security companies are thriving and expanding their clientele beyond affluent residential areas to include schools, shopping malls and corporate headquarters. This rapidly expanding and largely unregulated private security sector is turning Karachi's chronic insecurity into a lucrative business.

There is no simple solution or singular approach to gender equality in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. But Anita Zaidi, President of the Gender Equality Division at the Gates Foundation knows that when women and girls can prioritize their own health and well-being, and be leaders in their societies, everyone benefits. In a piece for Harvard Public Health, Dr. Zaidi called for women's health to be a priority, "Systemic negligence-including the lack of effective treatments, poor care delivery, and the overall dearth of scientific research that centers women's health-has driven gender disparities in health outcomes."rnrnThrough her work at the Gender Equality Division, the Gates Foundation has invested in efforts that advance women's economic empowerment, improve and protect women's health and bodily autonomy, increase child survival and resilience, and more. Previously, Dr. Zaidi spent 30 years as a pediatrician and was Chair of Pediatrics and Child Health at the Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan, where she worked to reduce child mortality through the prevention and treatment of newborn illnesses and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with author and public intellectual Micah Goodman. Just ahead of this week's What Matters Now recording, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump sat in the White House for a celebratory meal. The table was set for a grand announcement -- a sealed hostage release-ceasefire deal -- but the guest of honor and his terrorist counterparts have yet to come to terms. Goodman looks back at the two huge "double gambles" made during these 21 months of war. The first was by former Hamas leader Yahye Sinwar, who launched the invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, after viewing the intense divisiveness in Israeli society. His double-or-nothing bet was that Iran and its proxies would immediately join in the onslaught -- they didn't. Goodman compares Sinwar's double gamble to that of Netanyahu, who launched a surprise preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear program on June 13 and wagered that the United States would join. Now that Netanyahu's bet has paid off, Goodman describes how the region is ripe for a realignment -- if tough compromises can be made to end the Gaza war. And so this week, we ask Micah Goodman, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves and video edited by Thomas Girsch.

What happens when a celebrated film journalist turns the camera inward? In this moving episode, veteran critic and author Bhawana Somaaya unpacks her memoir Farewell Karachi. Known for her decades-long career documenting Bollywood's biggest stars like Hema Malini and Amitabh Bachchan, Bhawana shares the deeply personal stories behind her family's displacement from Karachi to Mumbai during Partition.She recounts everything from her mother's hilarious one-liners about working as a young journalist in the 1970s to the emotional weight of her father's solitary journey during Partition and the legacy of a lost home. The conversation flows through intimate anecdotes, candid reflections, and the subtle power of memories that shape who we become.Bhawana's honest reflections offer a masterclass in sensitivity and storytelling.

Ben Luke talks to Huma Bhabha about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Bhabha was born in 1962 in Karachi, Pakistan, and has been based in the US since 1981—she now lives in Poughkeepsie, New York state. She has achieved a profoundly individual figurative sculptural language, exploring the rich history of her medium while also looking to the future. Informed by ancient monuments, Modernist sculpture and an array of other artforms, Huma employs various sculptural traditions—from modelling with clay, to carving, to found-object assemblage—to create figures that are monumental yet vulnerable, otherworldly yet rooted in the vicissitudes of contemporary geopolitics. Alongside her sculptures, Huma has made similarly powerful work in two-dimensions, particularly in combinations of drawing and collage. She reflects on the early and ongoing impact of Rembrandt on her work, her fascination with Pablo Picasso and Robert Smithson, the influence of the writing of Amy Goodman and Roberto Bolaño and how she has responded to the films of Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Negulesco. She also gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including: what is art for?Huma Bhabha—Encounters: Giacometti, Barbican, London, until 10 Aug; Huma Bhabha: Distant Star, 13 June-26 July.

Karachi! Kamala journeys across the globe and steps deeper into her destiny in Ms. Marvel Episode 4: “Seeing Red.” But with the arrival of the Red Daggers, a whole new order enters the picture—and so do a lot of questions. Who are the Clandestines really? What even is the Noor Dimension? Eric (aka Mr. Honest) breaks it all down—confused, intrigued, and having a good time anyway. With family roots, interdimensional threats, and a twist ending that has us shouting “Wait, what?!”—this one's a ride.

India s S-400 Bought Pakistan on its Knees | Karachi Port Strike was Next | F16, Mirage 3, Saab 2000

NEWS WEAKLY 159 – EDITORIAL EDITIONA podcast where we punch the news in the headlines… weakly.Title: The Hypernormalisation of Journalistic Jingoism Summary:A few weeks ago, India and Pakistan were one bad decision away from nuclear war. But you wouldn't know that from the news coverage. You'd think Karachi had been flattened, Pakistani generals were surrendering en masse, and Indian fighter jets had laser-blasted their way to the gates of Islamabad—if you watched Indian TV news, that is. Spoiler: none of it happened. What did happen was a masterclass in disinformation, state propaganda, media jingoism, and the dangerous, ridiculous, terrifying theatre of war-as-content.In this special editorial edition, Sami Shah takes a blowtorch to the concept of hypernormalisation—where fake news becomes realer than truth, and everyone knows it's bullshit but plays along anyway. From the USS Maine to Vietnam, from Colin Powell's slideshow to Karachi's imaginary destruction to from Pakistan's own delusions—we trace the long, painful, deeply stupid history of war narratives shaped not by fact, but by flag-waving fantasy.And we end where it matters most: here in Australia. With one last bastion against this wave of reality-denial. A flawed, bald-headed, beige-toned but vital institution: the ABC. Why public broadcasting matters more than ever. And why we lose it at our peril.Quote of the Week:“I don't know why but there needs to be a study into whether approving another season of Hard Quiz results in male pattern baldness or being bald predisposes one to approving another season of Spicks and Specks.”Support the ShowLike your news satire free-range, cruelty-free, and ad-free?Join the News Weakly Patreon at patreon.com/samishah for scripts, exclusives, and bonus content.CreditsSami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.For more: http://thesamishah.comTheme music “Historic Anticipation” by Paul MottramThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Sami Shah.

The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has held a series of high-level meetings with his cabinet colleagues and senior military officers, amid growing tension with neighbouring Pakistan. It comes after having repeatedly accused the Pakistani authorities of supporting Kashmiri separatists who launched a deadly attack on tourists near Pahalgam last week. Also on the programme, Turkey has been building military bases on Iraqi territory, the BBC finds, raising fears of an occupation; and, cutting-edge test has saved the eyesight of a woman from the UK who was left contemplating having her eye removed altogether by surgeons, after she developed a mysterious infection whilst swimming in a river in the Amazon rainforest.(Photo: Protest in Pakistan against India over Pahalgam attack, Karachi, 29 April, 2025.

Amin Gulgee defies easy categorisation: he's a metal sculptor, a curator, and one of Pakistan's most innovative and cherished artists, the beating heart of his home city of Karachi's creative scene. His metalwork is as dramatic and eccentric as Amin is. He's in your face, uncompromising, a living and breathing performance piece.Amin also comes from a prestigious family: his father, Ismail Gulgee, was one of Pakistan's most famous modernists, creating abstract paintings that have been exhibited across the globe, and even sketching heads of state like Reagan and Gaddafi. In 2007, Ismail and Amin's mother Zaro were tragically murdered by their driver. It was Amin who found their bodies, in their house which adjoins his own studio and gallery. Much of Amin's work since has been an attempt to come to terms and heal from this most tragic of events.Presenter Harry Stott meets Amin on location in his Karachi studio-cum-gallery-cum-home, as he prepares to open a new museum of his father's work – the ‘most momentous' thing he has ever attempted. We listen in as Amin shows us the calligraphy adorned doors which he has created for the museum's entrance. We go inside his studio to hear about his creative process more widely. And we hear Amin come to terms with the tragedy of his parents' death and the solace that he finds in his workshop.Amidst the tumult of this momentous museum opening in the already tumultuous city of Karachi, this episode of In the Studio attempts to understand how Amin's two year process of creation, curation and healing will change his creative process for the years to come.Presenter & Producer: Harry Stott Co-producer & Fixer: Adam Fahy-Majeed Exec Producer: Sandra Ferrari Sound Design & Engineering: Alan Leer, Lizzy AndrewsA Message Heard ProductionImage: Amin Gulgee (Credit: Humayun Memon)
