    I LOVE this podcast, but...
    This podcast is very special to me! There is truly no other podcast like it. Very informative and I love the guests and topics they choose. My one frustration is that Muazzam often dominates most conversations...in the newest episode about traveling to know yourself, he even interrupts Zara, who overall gets fewer opportunities to speak. I would appreciate more mindfulness of the space being taken up, especially considering the interview-centered episodes are about learning from the guest. He does come up with some important questions, but it certainly can be draining as a listener. I LOVE Zara’s inputs and questions and would love for her to have more space in speaking.
