We have amazing content, over 40 speakers will take the stage over 4 days! Some incredible, motivating and entertaining individuals! 🎙️ This Week's Guests: Fadi Assi & Baba Ahmed On today's episode, I am joined by two great ETF partners: Fadi Assi from Golden Team Syria and Baba Ahmed from T'ore Mauritania. I am proud to share both of the partners are returning for a 2nd time to the ETF. Thank you guys! Fadi from Golden Team is a former NM Fixer of the Year and the go-to-guy when it comes to Syria. Syria is open, but it can be a bit tricky. It is best to partner with a local expert like Fadi. Three things I want to share. First, Golden Team offers fixed date, guaranteed group trips. He is offering ETF alumni a 20% discount on these trips. Second, in February, he is offering 50% off this trip for ETF alumni. And third, at the ETF, we will raffle off a 50% off seat on fixed date trip in 2027 to one winner! Baba from T'ore Mauritania is another amazing person and tour provider and another winner of the NM Fixer of the Year. Baba is offering a 5% discount on all fixed date departure trips in Mauritania for ETF alumni. And at ETF, he will be raffling off a free trip for a fixed departure trip in 2027! Both Fadi and Baba will be hosting mini-presentations on their home countries and of course will be around to answer all of your questions. It is an honor to be hosting both of them again. I was in Boston for both conversations, while Fadi was in Damascus and Baba was in Mauritania. Please listen in and enjoy. And check out the previous update here.
