chatGRG explores how careers are built, shaped, and evolved in an AI-driven world. In a region where opportunity moves fast, careers are rarely linear. Being skilled is not enough. How you position yourself, how you show up, and how your experience translates into opportunity matter. chatGRG brings together leaders, founders, hiring managers, and regional influencers to share honest perspectives on building careers in the Gulf. We speak openly about getting hired, navigating multiple career moves, and understanding how decisions are made behind closed doors. Across these conversations, we also explore how personal brand and career visibility influence hiring outcomes, progression, and long-term credibility, especially in a market where reputation travels quickly. Produced through GRG, the region’s largest independently owned recruitment firm, the discussions are shaped by real access to senior hiring environments and market insight. This is not theory or motivation. It is experience-led discussion on careers, visibility, hiring dynamics, and what it takes to build long-term momentum. If you are building yourself or navigating your next move, this is the insight most people only gain after years in the market.

Wajdan Gul on Building SQUATWOLF Global: A Dubai Fitness Start-up Success Story

This isn’t your typical fitness founder story.


Wajdan Gul didn’t come from a fitness background. Neither did his wife and co-founder, Anam Khalid. They had no industry experience, no connections, and when they first shared their vision for SQUATWOLF, a premium gymwear brand born in the Middle East, even their own families didn’t believe it would work.


But they believed.
And that belief, backed by grit, relentless consistency, and Dubai’s unique spirit of possibility, turned a small bedroom startup into a global fitness brand.


In this episode, Wajdan shares:

  • How he and Anam went from zero industry experience to building a performance-led brand

  • Why the powerful story of coming from the East is so important

  • The emotional toll of chasing a dream when no one else can see it

  • The first sale that changed everything

  • What it really means to keep going when the world says stop


This is a story about more than gymwear.
It’s about proving people wrong, building something from nothing, and redefining what’s possible when you lead with purpose, even when no one’s watching.
