In this episode, we sit down with Nav IQ – a school principal, father of four, and CEO overseeing multiple schools across Dubai.

We explore a story every parent and educator needs to hear: how a boy raised in poverty, with no plans to teach, broke the cycle and built a school empire. We unpack how leadership isn’t about being liked, why values must come before popularity, and what it truly means to raise the next generation with purpose.
