CLOUDZILLA, the wellness-media brand founded by entrepreneur Farabi Khaleque, has launched The Good Quest with Farabi, an interview podcast featuring conversations with celebrities, entrepreneurs, advocates, and public figures sharing stories of personal growth and resilience.
The podcast premieres in July 2026 with new episodes released every two weeks across major platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio. The first season features guests including Vanessa Clements, a finalist on Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 and former Big Brother Canada houseguest, and Terry Axiotis, founder of the viral donut brand Homers. Additional entrepreneurs, advocates, and public figures are set to appear in coming episodes.
Khaleque founded CLOUDZILLA in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic at age 15, initially positioning the brand as a platform supporting young people through conversations about mental health, wellness, and self-improvement. The organization has since expanded into a recognized youth-driven brand producing content, campaigns, and educational initiatives aimed at empowering the next generation. Khaleque has been nominated for the Canadian SME National Business Award for Young Entrepreneur of the Year and has collaborated with organizations including Amazon Prime Video.
“The Good Quest was created to spotlight the stories behind success, resilience, and personal growth,” said Khaleque. “My goal is to inspire listeners through meaningful conversations and show that every challenge can become part of a larger journey.”
The launch represents an expansion of CLOUDZILLA’s media footprint into podcast distribution, capitalizing on growing listener interest in interview-based content centered on personal development and life narratives. The show’s focus on diverse guests spanning entertainment, entrepreneurship, and advocacy aligns with broader podcast industry trends toward niche, identity-driven programming that attracts engaged audiences seeking authentic storytelling and motivational content.
The podcast enters a competitive interview format landscape where shows focused on personal stories and entrepreneurial journeys continue to attract audiences across streaming platforms. Interview podcasts remain among the most popular and downloaded genres, with listeners consistently gravitating toward content featuring established personalities and emerging figures discussing their career trajectories and personal challenges.
CLOUDZILLA’s expansion into podcasting extends the brand’s existing multimedia strategy, which includes social media content on Instagram and YouTube under the handle @wearecloudzilla. The organization positions The Good Quest with Farabi as part of its broader mission to create empowerment-focused content for younger audiences while reaching adult listeners interested in personal development narratives. The official trailer for the show is currently available on CLOUDZILLA’s social platforms ahead of the official premiere.
The launch underscores the continued viability of founder-led podcast ventures and youth-driven media brands in the audio landscape. As podcasting matures as a medium, independent creators and emerging media companies increasingly use the format to build direct audience connections and establish thought leadership within specific content categories. CLOUDZILLA’s transition from a wellness platform focused on mental health conversations to a multi-platform brand producing interview content reflects broader shifts in how media companies diversify revenue streams and expand audience reach across formats.
