In this episode, I sit down with Coach Amin Touati, a Jiu-Jitsu black belt and master focused on building character and mental resilience.He's one of the most honest and grounded coaches you'll meet, having been raised with a strict parenting style that he now sees as a gift. We talk about the one reason most parents are raising a "soft" generation and why team sports like football are useless when it comes to building real confidence. We also talk about the male ego and why it's the biggest barrier for men and boys, and the powerful lesson he learned from earning a Sega as a child.You don’t want to miss this one.____________________________🕔 Timestamps00:00 - Introduction01:50 - Amin Touati's Martial Arts Journey04:30 - The Philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu06:10 - Why Kids Need Martial Arts11:21 - What to Do When Your Child Wants to Quit13:37 - The Levels of Parental Involvement18:20 - Lessons from a Strict Father22:11 - Raising Resilient Children25:37 - Why Boys Always Fight29:11 - The Best Age to Start Jiu-Jitsu33:25 - Advice from a Master34:45 - The Jiu-Jitsu Belt System Explained36:45 - Why Girls Should Train37:25 - Inside Antara Jiu-Jitsu Academy41:38 - How to Strike a Balance in Parenting44:00 - Why Kids Don't Appreciate What They Have49:00 - The "Snowflake" Mentality53:10 - A Final Piece of Advice55:11 - A Lasting Message to My Children____________________________📲 Where to find Amin Touatihttps://www.instagram.com/amintouatijjhttps://www.instagram.com/antarajj/https://antarajj.com/____________________________📳 Follow Us on Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.ae/https://www.instagram.com/mghanch/https://www.tiktok.com/@raisinghumans.ae____________________________Hashtags #JiuJitsu #MartialArts #ParentingPodcast #ParentingAdvice #Fatherhood #ToughLove #RaisingBoys #SnowflakeGeneration #LifeInDubai #ExpatLifeUAE #BJJ #BrazilianJiuJitsu #Grit #Mindset #Discipline #CharacterBuilding #JiuJitsuCoach #AminTouati #AntaraJiuJitsu #KidsAndSports #ConfidenceBuilding #MaleEgo #ParentingInDubai #PersonalGrowthPodcast #PodcastInterview #MuslimVoices #Resilience #ParentingSkills #MenAndFaith #FatherhoodMattersYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@Raising.HumansInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.1/

He found Islam at 14. Moved to the UAE at 17. Raised six kids along the way.In this episode, I sit down with Ismail Bullock. He left behind everything he knew in the UK after he reverted to Islam to build a life in the UAE.We talk about the different stages of raising your children: when to guide, when to teach, and when to simply be their friend. And at the heart of it all is a message from the Qur’an: save yourselves, and your families.It’s not easy. But it’s your duty. And it starts with who you are when no one’s watching.____________________________🕔 Timestamps00:00 - Introduction00:39 - Who are you02:22 - Childhood05:10 - Lessons from parents (potentially removed)06:52 - Fathers parenting style09:26 - Ismaels journey to Islam23:36 - Where did you learn about Islam?24:47 - Moving to the UAE28:22 - Life in the UAE33:!2 - Fatherhood36:19 - What values did you want to pass down to your kids37:15 - Are you a strict father45:41 - How did being a father change your perspective on life53:44 - What message would you give to new parents56:22 - Parenting when children are young adults 58:43 - Career advice for your children1:08:45 - Closing Tradition (what advice would you give your children)____________________________📲 Where to find Ismail Bullockhttps://www.instagram.com/bullockismail/https://www.youtube.com/@IsmailBullock____________________________📳 Follow Us on Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.ae/https://www.instagram.com/mghanch/https://www.tiktok.com/@raisinghumans.ae___________________________Hashtags #RaisingHumansPodcast #MuslimPodcast #ParentingPodcast #IslamicPodcast #YouTubePodcast #BritishPodcast #PodcastInterview #SpiritualJourney #FaithBasedPodcast #LifeStories #RevertToIslam #ConvertStory #IsmaelBullock #IslamRevertStory #BritishMuslim #RevertJourney #RevertStory #MyIslamStory #UKToUAE #RevertLife #MuslimParenting #IslamicParenting #FatherhoodInIslam #RaisingMuslimKids #RaisingChildren #DadLife #MuslimFather #BeingADad #ParentingJourney #ParentingAdvice #DadWisdom #FatherhoodMatters #IslamicReminders #LifeAsAMuslim #Dawah #IslamicWisdom #QuranAndSunnah #IslamicLessons #MuslimFaith #IslamInTheWest #Hijrah #UAEIslam #PractisingIslam #BritishMuslim #UKMuslim #MuslimInTheUK #LifeInDubai #DubaiMuslims #MuslimInUAE #HijrahJourney #ExpatLifeDubai #UKToDubai #RaisingKidsInDubai #EmotionalMaturity #SelfDiscipline #RoleModel #LeadingByExample #GrowthMindset #IslamicValues #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #BeBetter #PurposeDrivenLife #FaithAndFamily #LifeAdvice #RealConversations #TrueStories #FamilyMatters #LegacyBuilding #RaisingTheNextGeneration #ParentingRealTalk #FatherAndSon #HonestParenting #MenAndFaith #MuslimVoices #BritishVoicesYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@Raising.HumansInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.1/

In this episode, Shabz, a mobile barber in Dubai, opens up about how becoming a father completely changed his life. At first, he wasn’t ready. The sleepless nights and the burden of responsibility.Everything shifted when he held his son for the first time. Being a father forced him to level up. Suddenly, the stakes were higher. There was no time for distractions. He had a set of responsibilities that couldn’t be ignored. He had to show up, push through the exhaustion, and step into the man he needed to become.For parents, this is real talk. If you’ve ever felt the weight of responsibility and the pressure to provide, you’ll understand exactly where Shabz is coming from. Fatherhood isn’t just a title, it’s a transformation.For the youth, if you’re stuck or unsure about your future, take a listen. Shabz switched careers to follow his passion, even when no one believed in him. But he trusted himself, the process and his skills, and he proved them all wrong. Now, he’s building a future for his family on his own terms.____________________________Timestamps00:00 - Coming Up00:46 - Introduction01:19 - Growing Up02:17 - What I Learned from My Father04:17 - What I Learned from My Mother06:55 - The First Year of Fatherhood16:01 - Juggling Work and Fatherhood19:45 - Working While Family is in the UK25:09 - How Fatherhood Changed My Mindset31:18 - Missing the Community Back Home34:45 - The Birth of DXBarber56:06 - Why Believing in Yourself is Key1:02:32 - Advice for the Next Generation1:07:45 - Closing Tradition____________________________TheDXBarber Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thedxbarber/____________________________Raising Human Socials:https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.ae/https://www.instagram.com/mghanch/https://www.tiktok.com/@raisinghumans.ae____________________________Hashtags:#Fatherhood #ParentingJourney #MobileBarber #DXBarber #DubaiLife #WorkAndFatherhood #FatherhoodUnfiltered #FatherhoodChallenges #SacrificeForFamily #MentalHealthInParenting #PersonalGrowth #LevelUpInLife #BelievingInYourself #MindsetShift #CareerChange #PassionOverPaycheck #SelfGrowth #FatherhoodLessons #OvercomingObstacles #FamilyFirst #EntrepreneurMindset #CareerJourney #BarberLife #SelfMadeSuccess #ParentingStruggles #MissingHome #RaisingHumans #DubaiBarber #SuccessMindset #HardWorkPaysOff #FinancialIndependence #TrustYourself #LifeChanges #DubaiLiving #BuildingYourFuture #WorkLifeBalance #Motivation #YoungEntrepreneur #FollowYourPassion #FamilyAndCareer #ParentingAdvice #BusinessJourney #SelfConfidence #DreamBig #EntrepreneurLife #FatherhoodUnplugged #NoExcuses #NeverGiveUp #CreatingYourOwnPathYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@Raising.HumansInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.1/
