I talk to security and compliance leaders every day, and these challenges come up again and again:

❌ Missing certifications = blocked deals and lost revenue
❌ Security questionnaires eat up valuable time—teams spend 10-40 hours per month on them
❌ Compliance is only a priority during audit season, making it tough to prove security year-round

That’s where Vanta helps:

✅ Continuous compliance – SOC 2 & ISO 27001 monitoring 24/7
✅ AI-powered automation – answers security questionnaires in minutes with 95% accuracy
✅ Less manual work – so your team isn’t stuck in reactive audit cycles

Security and compliance should support growth, not slow it down.

If these challenges sound familiar, let’s chat! 🚀

The obstacle is the way. 

When I was 19, my father passed away unexpectedly.

I had 5 siblings and a stay-at-home mom to take care of.

Lucky for me, I had spent many years with my father at his hair salon that he opened in 1987, where at age 9, I learned how to answer the phone, book appointments, and greet 6-foot giants with a firm handshake.

However, with no barber degree or management experience, I was thrown into the deep end and had to learn how to swim quickly.

I made more mistakes than I would like to admit, but fast forward 7 years, I had learned some priceless things:

-Gave over 12,000 haircuts having a 97% return rate and a book of clients consisting of leaders and CEOs at Concur, Zones, Microsoft, Expedia, and many more.
-Became the top men's barber in Bellevue (35+ Yelp reviews :))
-Learned how to run a business, manage employees and satisfy customers

This gave me a unique perspective on business and life in general.

I persevered to gain entry into the UW Foster School of Business and ended up graduating with an emphasis in Sales and Marketing.

I knew I had a love for tech and a knack for sales, so when a client of mine, who was an SDR at DocuSign offered to refer me, I did not say no.

I was the fastest promoted SDR at DocuSign, lived through my first IPO with them, and learned a whole lot about SaaS.

After mass blasting emails from Outlook, we got Outreach at Docusign. 

I fell in love with the product and ended up getting hired by the VP of Sales, on the spot during my interview.

Never give up and always give 100%. 

You never know where life takes you. 

I speak Arabic fluently, and some English :)

It feels different when you build something of your own… especially when it’s around things you actually care about. Faith. Fitness. Tech sales. Fatherhood. Real talk.

Every few days Futhallah or I get a random DM from someone we didn’t expect saying they love the podcast. “You guys just flow so well. 

Even if I don’t relate to every topic, I enjoy listening.” That part has surprised me the most.

Deen & Deals as a side project Podcast after work and weekends…  has been ridiculously fun. 

I’m loving being a total beginner in something again. 

This whole thing forced me to learn video editing, how to make YouTube thumbnails, use Canva, cut short form clips, and understand the difference between mp4/mp3/wav.

Talking about things I actually enjoy… and hearing people find value in it… that feels rewarding.

Most podcasts don’t make it past 20 episodes. 

We’ve posted 4 and recorded 6. 

Already 25 % there.

Goals this week:
• Get to 100 YouTube subs (79 now)
 • Get to 30 Spotify follows (12 now)

If you’ve been listening… appreciate you more than you know.

I often struggle with prioritizing and getting ideas out of my head into action.

And trust me, I've tried many different productivity systems and to-do list apps to make it work

Here's what I found works best for me.:

2 apps: Google Tasks + Google Doc

Google Tasks is simple and easy, and I make a tab for every part of my life:
-One for my work
-One for my personal
-One for my side projects

Whenever an idea comes to mind of something I want to do, I take the stress away from remembering and just open Google Tasks and put it in the right category.

Often times the best ideas come to us when we're walking, in the shower, or doing something totally unrelated to work. 

I made this Google Doc called "brain dump/content ideas." 

When I see something online that I really like, that I want to repurpose and make it my own and put my own spin on it, I just open up my Google Doc and I put it in there. 

That way next time I have my laptop staring at a blank screen for posting or my newsletter, I have exactly what I need and I don't have to start from scratch. 

Makes it easy. 

What other simple systems do you have in place?
