In this pilot episode of Travels with My Friends, I speak to a longtime family friend, the buoyant and unique Saad Al-Shybani. Over a cup of Iraqi chai, we chat about Saad's life growing up in Iran, Iraqi culture, what brought him to Glasgow, his travels around the world while in the oil industry and what made him give it up for the property world, some tips and tricks for 'making it' in property, and his three tips for living a fulfilled, happy and balanced life.
