🎙️ The OGs Are Back! Faisal and Sam sit down for a classic Freshly Grounded episode: tea, laughs, and deep convos included. From reminiscing about their almost 10-year journey with FG to unexpected tangents on padel, business lessons, and why Sam refuses to wear backward caps anymore, this one's a nostalgic ride.

👀 Plus, they dive into:

The Make It Happen campaign for SPOT Project 🔥
The burden of being called "uncle" for the first time 😭
Padel battles in Dubai—who's actually got game?
Faisal’s next big move after Tarteel 👀
Sam's latest "controversial" podcast moment (hint: jinn stories & flat earth theories)

And of course, plenty of tea and clotted cream.
