- EP 45The Episode Every Grifter Will HateMurrad of CoderCo returns to The Barakah Blueprint, the show's second returning guest, after a listener in Sweden heard their first episode on a jog, joined his program and landed a DevOps role. Recorded live, disruptions included, with that listener called in mid-episode. Ibrahim Shareef and Murrad separate grifters from builders: a product that matches its promise, testimonials that reflect the typical member rather than the outliers, fulfilment ahead of sales, and no guarantees. They cover what a corporate job teaches a future founder, the illusion of risk, seeking criticism, the boring work of watching the data, comparing inputs rather than outputs, and why Murrad would not learn to code for a pure developer role today.
- EP 29Land a High-Paying Tech Career Without a Tech BackgroundIbrahim Shareef sits down with Murrad, the coach behind Tech with Murrad and a Skool Games winner, to map how people from non-technical backgrounds break into high-paying tech roles. A hiring manager himself, Murrad explains his core principle: put in an amount of work so unreasonable that failure becomes the unreasonable outcome, and treat your skill set, not your passport, as the thing that lets you work anywhere.
