  • Too much ego, not enough insight

    Imran Amed dominates conversations and doesn’t give his guests space to speak. The podcast feels self-important and lacks humility. If you want genuine insider insight, this isn’t the place.

  • Prada Andrea Guerra the politician

    Quite the politician, he hasn’t answered any of your questions! You did so well Imran to friendly debunk some of his vacuous statements. It must be fun working ‘for’ him, my way or the highway style am guessing. Off on a slight tang here, Italian fashion is extremely misogynistic and that’s the manner exactly
