The Coffee Club Podcast
Two Dubai-based best friends host candid conversations with local creators about the realities of success, friendship, and self-worth.
This is a conversational interview show focused on the Dubai creator and entrepreneur scene. The hosts leverage their personal connections with guests to move past talking points into vulnerable discussions about loneliness, the cost of ambition, and the messy process of self-discovery.
“The show's "best friends talking" dynamic and its specific focus on the Dubai social/creator economy creates a sense of insider access and genuine rapport that's hard to fake.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The hosts begin with broad origin questions like "Who were you before all of this?" to establish a guest's backstory. They use friendly, rapport-building follow-ups to probe personal passions ("Tell me more about your horses") or struggles ("How do you ground yourself?"). The conversation feels like a genuine catch-up between friends, blending career talk with deep dives into mental health and relationships. Interviews often conclude with a "quick-fire" round of lighter, rapid-response questions.
A two-host format where Laila and Nadia trade questions in a relaxed, conversational style, often sharing their own experiences to build rapport. Main episodes are long-form guest interviews, supplemented by a shorter "The Sip" series for trend discussions and life updates.
