The Mo Show Presented by BSF

On this episode, I sit down with IWC CEO Chris Grainger-Herr and astronaut/geophysicist Drew Feustel at Vast HQ for a conversation about space, time, design, and the future of exploration. We discuss why space is the next frontier for IWC, how time feels different in orbit, the physical and psychological impact of living in space, the “overview effect” astronauts experience when seeing Earth from above, and how science fiction, engineering, and human ambition continue to shape what comes next.

We filmed this conversation during the Family Business Council Gulf (FBCG) Summit 2025 in Muscat, Oman. But, honestly, with everything tha has been happening in the region since then, the supply chain disruptions, the geopolitical shifts, I'd argue it's even more relevant now than when we sat down. Tarek Sultan is the founder and Chairman of Agility, he built a global empire from Kuwait, nearly 70.000 employees globally and presence in more than 100 countries. And what he had to say about resilience, risk, and the future of the GCC.

On this episode, we sit down with Princess Noura bint Faisal Al Saud, the visionary behind Saudi Arabia’s first-ever fashion week and CEO of JAY3LLE. She shares the journey of building a fashion industry in the Kingdom from the ground up navigating risk, resistance, and ultimately proving that Saudi talent can compete on the global stage. Drawing from her years living and studying in Japan, she explains how that experience shaped her global mindset and approach to entrepreneurship.


Princess Noura also reflects on her transition from the private sector to contributing to the strategy of the Saudi Fashion Commission, helping lay the foundation for a thriving creative ecosystem. The conversation explores the impact of Saudi Vision 2030, the rise of Saudi soft power, and the country’s shift from being consumers to becoming innovators. She also discusses fashion as a form of cultural storytelling, from Founding Day to Saudi Cup and what it takes to build a sustainable global brand while preserving authenticity.


On a more personal level, she opens up about risk-taking, self-doubt, and the values instilled in her by her parents. Princess Noura shares her perspective on success beyond titles and achievements, offering insight into the mindset required to lead meaningful change and position Saudi Arabia as a growing force in global fashion and culture.
