Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi is the host of Pakistan's fastest-growing podcast, Thought Behind Things. He's been in the creative industry for over a decade, and he's been a key mentor to me. I highly encourage you to listen to our entire conversation - you're sure to learn something new!
We discussed his early life, his childhood influences, why he left content creation at the peak of his career, how he bridged the gap between the government and the content creator ecosystem, and how he became one of the biggest podcaster in Pakistan.
