Future Me

Hi, I’m Zayd Imran, welcome to my podcast called Future Me.

​

On this series, I get the chance to speak with leaders of industry from all walks of life, and learn more about what different careers may look like in the FUTURE.

What is the podcast about?

In each episode, I speak with guests who are leaders of key sectors and organizations, to help children in my age group understand what the future will look like and the different possible journeys that can get you there.

Key learnings I've picked up along the way

I invite you to listen to the podcasts to hear what successful people think the future will look like.

[1]

Learning 1

"Never give up"

[2]

Learning 2

"Find what you're passionate about"

[3]

Learning 3

"There are many different paths to success"

Our greatest learnings will come from Failure and the most important thing is to never give up and never quit. We might feel low, we may change direction, but we need to get back up and try again.

Find what you are passionate about and what YOU love. Don’t look at what other people are doing or what you think looks exciting. You will only truly do well in what you love.

There is no one way to succeed. Your path may twist, change and look completely different from someone else’s. Keep moving forward and remember that there are many ways to build a future you are proud of.

Learning 4

"Stay curious, and ask lots of questions"

Keep asking questions. Keep exploring. Keep trying new things. Curiosity opens doors, sparks ideas and helps you see possibilities others might miss. The more you discover, the bigger your future can become.

A little about me, and what inspired me to launch this podcast

ZaydComo.jpg

I'm passionate about education, and helping people

”I want to take you along on my own journey of learning.”
I was born in London, and I call Dubai home.
 
Everyday I hear my friends and other young children talk about what they want to be when they are older. I came up with the idea of this podcast when some children (including my friends at school) still hadn't come up with an ambition, a dream or a goal. Many students in school today still don't know what they want to be. And its ok not to be sure. 
 
I hope this podcast helps children like me discover more about the different kinds of careers out there.
 
So what I want to do is meet new and interesting senior leaders across different walks of life, people with interesting experiences and achievements. And I am excited toshare some of these stories with you.

2026 - UAE's Year of Family

I thought this would be an interesting project to share with my friends and other kids, and a way to give back to this amazing country, which we all call home, in the UAE’s Year of Family.

What the future will hold

The future will be full of new ideas, new technology and new kinds of careers that may not even exist today.

 

The jobs you do could change many times, so learning will never really stop. AI and technology will help us work faster, solve bigger problems and create things in completely new ways.

But the future will still need people who are curious, creative, brave and kind. Do not worry about having everything figured out. Keep learning, keep exploring and stay open to change.

 

The more skills you build and the more questions you ask, the more possibilities your future can hold.

My special guests

His Excellency Mr. Saif Ghobash Al Marri,

Assistant Undersecretary for the Petroleum, Gas and Minerals
