In this episode of RAK Icons, step inside the creative mind behind RAKCAST, Ras Al Khaimah’s very first podcast studio. From global video gigs to turning RAK into a content creator’s dream, Nazar is on a mission to help locals share their stories — with lights, mics, and just the right vibe.
🎬 Hit play to discover how one birthday trip turned into a business, why RAK’s calm energy beats city chaos, and how Nazar is quietly powering the next wave of local storytellers.
Interview Highlights – Real Talk with Nazar
(aka what we’d text you in all caps if we were hyped about this convo)
🌟 From Turkmenistan to RAK via Dubai: Nazar originally set his sights on Dubai, but RAK’s peaceful vibes and free parking (yep, that’s a selling point) stole his heart — and his business plan.
🎈 Birthday Bash Epiphany: He discovered RAK while attending a friend’s birthday and instantly knew: “This is the vibe I’ve been searching for.” The rest is podcast history.
🎥 Why RAKCAST Rocks: It’s not just a podcast room — it’s a full-blown, pro-level content hub where business owners, influencers, and even dentists (yes, really) come to create and grow.
🦷 The Dentist Story: One local dentist was paying a fortune to a Dubai agency — until Nazar’s team stepped in, produced a content calendar, shot it locally, and BOOM: more followers, more clients, less headache.
💡 You Don’t Need Dubai: Nazar’s mission? Proving you don’t need to drive to Dubai for high-quality content. RAKCAST gives you the same (sometimes better!) quality — with way less traffic.
📈 Helping You Be Seen (and Paid): Whether you’re selling services, products, or your personal brand — if it needs eyeballs, Nazar’s video magic makes it shine and convert.
🤝 A Community That Lifts You Up: He calls RAK a place where entrepreneurs actually help each other — and that’s why he urges newcomers not to underestimate its potential.
