About this listen

“This season wasn’t about having answers. It was about asking better questions.”


Every season deserves reflection.


In this final episode of Season One, Hamza Idris is interviewed by his wife, Davina Oriakhi‑Idris, in an honest, unfiltered wrap-up of the journey so far.


Together, they reflect on the conversations, the lessons, the growth, and the tension behind the scenes of building The Modern Man Podcast while navigating work, faith, marriage, leadership, and personal responsibility.


This is not a highlight reel.

It’s a debrief.

A mirror.

And a moment of gratitude and grounding before what comes next.


This episode is for anyone who has followed the season, supported quietly, or is curious about the heart behind the platform.



🔑 What you’ll take from this episode:

• Why Season One needed to exist

• The unexpected lessons from the guests

• What challenged Hamza the most personally

• Balancing ambition, faith, marriage, and rest

• Where ego showed up and where humility was required

• What Season Two will build on, not repeat
