The Goodly Tree Podcast Has Officially Launched!

Posted on April 28, 2025April 29, 2025 by Asif Amod

Alhamdulillah — it’s finally real.

After weeks (months, really) of thought, preparation, and a lot of sitting outside wondering if it would ever happen — The Goodly Tree Podcast is live.

It’s here.

It’s raw.

It’s real.

And honestly? It feels like the beginning of something special.

🎧 Listen now:

  • Spotify

  • Apple Podcasts

🎉 We’re live! The Goodly Tree Podcast has officially launched. This mic? Just the beginning of a journey to share stories that matter, reflections that resonate, and conversations rooted in purpose. 🌿🎙️ Alhamdulillah for every step.

 


Why The Goodly Tree?

The name isn’t random.

It comes from the Qur’an, where Allah describes a pure word — or pure faith — like a goodly tree:

“Its roots are firm and its branches reach the sky.”

(Surah Ibrahim, 14:24)

That image stuck with me for years from a friend in my past.

Strong roots.

A connection between earth and sky.

Steadiness when the winds come.

Growth that’s unseen underground before it’s ever visible to the world.

That’s the kind of life I want to live.

That’s the kind of journey I want to invite others into.

And that’s exactly what this podcast is about.


What You’ll Find on The Goodly Tree

This isn’t a “polished, big studio production” podcast.

It’s not full of perfectly edited interviews or viral gimmicks.

It’s personal.

It’s reflective.

It’s simple by design.

You’ll find me sharing thoughts on:

  • Islamic living (real-world, grounded, unapologetically)

  • Raising kids with purpose, not just schedules

  • Navigating the chaos of modern life while staying rooted

  • Personal lessons from off-grid life, business, tech, and family

  • Reflections that (hopefully) strengthen your own tree — your own foundation

Some episodes will be short.

Some will feel like sitting by the fire with an old friend, talking about life, mistakes, dreams, and du’as.

Why Start a Podcast Now?

Because words matter.

Because our voices — honest, imperfect, striving — need to fill the world more than algorithms and noise do.

Because I realized that sometimes writing isn’t enough.

Sometimes, you need to hear someone’s voice. The pauses. The emotion. The imperfections.

And because deep down, I know I’m not alone in craving conversations that matter.

Not just news cycles.

Not just trend-chasing.

But roots.

Branches that reach higher.

Growth you can feel, even if no one else sees it.

About Me

Most people wake up to an alarm clock. I wake up to roosters and the hum of solar panels. Life out here isn’t always easy, but that’s the point. I have six kids, and we homeschool—actually, we unschool. No rigid curriculums, just learning through curiosity and real challenges.

Islam plays a huge role in my life. It reminds me that success isn’t just about money or status—it’s about what you do with what you’ve been given. I am the co-founder of an ethically focused digital agency where we build cloud software and marketing systems.
