#9: Mental Health: Getting a Dog, Powerlifting & Therapy. What Happened to Sit Down with Seth? - Ahmad Abbas (Seth)

Ahmad Abbas, also known as Seth, is one of the earliest podcasters in Qatar. He’s had several podcasts on Facebook, Soundcloud, but you might know him from Sit Down with Seth on YouTube. Since he’s my cousin and a fellow podcaster, expect a raw back and forth conversation. I ask him for a simple burger recommendation, which leads to a semi-tragic story about discovering his love for Five Guys in London. Bonnie, Seth’s puppy, was with us while recording this episode. From chewing my bag full of equipment to sleeping on the couch, it was nice to see how he's bringing Seth a ton of joy. What are the challenges of owning a dog? Who does he think shouldn’t own a one? We then discussed Sit Down with Seth: difficult interviews, his incredible team, financing, and why the show eventually came to a halt. Plus, a question from his buddy, Adnan Mryhij, the host of Unmuted Podcast on Twitch, got Seth deeply thinking - will he ever podcast again? He shares valuable advice for anyone wanting to podcast or create content. As I look back at this episode, the overall theme here was mental health, and I’m glad we had this conversation. There’s a stigma attached to mental health in the Middle East and seeking help. Seth leaves the listener with an important mental health message and why you should never suppress how you’re feeling.
